Day 357 of 365 - Shavings

I was working in the shop today trying to finish up a couple of projects. Though I have a full compliment of power tools, there is nothing like a well tuned wood plane. When they are razor sharp it is a joy to make a pile of shavings.

Day 355 of 365 - Fair Days

As summer comes to a close, so is my 365 project. I have only a few days to go until my 36th birthday and the end of this project. Since summer is coming to an end that means County Fairs. I stopped out last night while working to get a photograph for the day. The sun had just set, the lights on the rides and the moon setting I really enjoyed making this photograph.

Day 354 of 365 - The Little Black Camera

Almost 7 years ago I bought this Kodak Digital camera before our first Disney trip. We still use the little 4 megapixel camera and it produces good 4x6 prints. With my DSLR almost 4 years old now I am waiting for a replacement body due out this fall. With both the Kodak camera and my Sony A-100 I have used them until I learned their limits. Whenever I put either of these camera's to my eye I know how to make them produce the image I want.

Day 353 of 365 - Data

With digital photography, protecting your data is part of business. You have to put forth every effort to protect your images for your sake and your clients'. When I used a PC, I had a very robust backup and storage strategy that included 2 separate copies of all files on-site and on copy of the data stored on-line through a cloud service. When I upgraded to my Mac, this became less automated; and, for a short time, very clunky. I have reorganized my data storage back to a robust storage solution that is automated and helps me sleep at night again. This included adding more external hard drive space and more memory to the Mac.

Day 352 of 365 - Laryngoscope

This is one of the few tools carried on the squad that is reusable. We use it to lift the tongue out of the way to view the vocal chords and place an endotracheal tube. This procedure is used to protect the airway of a sick or injured patient.

Day 351 of 365 - Monorail Dreaming

This will be the first year in a long time we have not visited Walt Disney World. I was picking up and saw Isaac's toy Monorail out and it reminded me of some great times at Disney World.
