Over at whatever, John Scalzi posts a lot of sunset photos. I don’t get a lot of those, because for most of the year I need to be dealing with the kids– wrangling them home from day care, making dinner, getting them to bed– during the time when the sunset looks pretty.

I’m playing around with the various camera lenses I own, which include a rarely-used fixed 50mm focal length.

Last weekend, while the kids were at my parents’, Kate and I decided to go over to Williamstown and look at some art. We originally intended to go to the Clark Art Institute, but it was mobbed, so we drove on to MassMoCA instead. I told several different people about that, all of whom said… Continue reading 003/366: The Mountains, the Mountains
