Indians Fire
This is definitely one of those "documentation" posts. These are cruddy for the most part.
The so-called Indians Fire started around noon on 8 June. When I came into work on 9 June, the smoke was nasty, but it cleared by the afternoon and was clear until around 1500h on 10 June (Tues) when the words were uttered "Something really bad just happened."
Tuesday, 10 June ~1500h
This plume of smoke was not there 15 minutes
before the photo was taken
Wednesday, 11 June ~0800h
Still going strong. Smoke was able to reach high enough
altitude that it was undetectable by the nose
Wednesday, 11 June ~1300h
Plume of smoke still trailing across the sky... looks pretty nifty here.
(Burned area in these photos is from a control burn weeks before)
Wednesday, 11 June ~1600h
Fire getting closer to where I spend my days. Smoke
finally can be smelled. Flames can be seen (2nd photo)

At this point, I realized that my lens was majorly fucked up and quit taking pictures.

from 2005...
A photo catalog program that I recently downloaded makes it so much simpler to fix certain exposure problems. I am tickled. This photo was taken in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in April, 2005.

not another text post
Too bad, suckers.
Just an observation: I've been viewing my blog on various monitors; my laptop, a CRT, and the flat-screen monitor and I'm just amazed (well, maybe horrified) at how different it looks on each one. To set the record straight: my photos are best viewed using a CRT monitor because that is what I use when I edit. (I feel too poor at the moment to afford a flat-screen monitor, so I just use the one at work.) My pictures look like shit on my laptop monitor, which is why I'm using the CRT in the first place. Not that I'm asking any of my few faithful (read: blood-related) viewers to downgrade to a big, heavy CRT, just putting a disclaimer out there: my photos may actually look better than what you can see. In other words, if you think I suck at photography, I'm letting you know that I may not suck as much as you might think.
And now back to your regularly scheduled program...
