 What a fantastically great project to be working on...

 I bought a cheap pancake lens today. It might be crap. It might be brilliant. I don't know which today. I'm sure I'll know more by tomorrow. Sure is neat though. This is the first time I've had a full frame camera with a lens on it that might fit in my pants pocket. Fun.

 Night time bike rides. I don't think I've taken a photo of this apartment building after dark before.

 I almost bought a monochrome digital camera today. Then I remembered every digital camera can be a monochrome camera.

 Slow Leaves plays at The Heatley. What a treat.

 If you look closely, the score is 8-2 for Edmonton. Shots were 20 to 4 in Edmonton's favor. And it ended up being a close game with Edmonton winning 9-7. A veritable nailbiter. The Oilers scored two goals on Vancouver when Vancouver was on a power play. Two shorthanded goals. 

If the Oilers don't get goaltending, they will be cooked. If Vancouver doesn't develop a system that includes SHOOTING THE F-ING PUCK they will be out of contention by Christmas.

 Leafs regular season started tonight. They lost. Bobrovsky didn't look great. 38 year old goalies might have been a mistake.

 A bamboo pencil holder. With a ghost digital clock in it. The future is now!!!

 Two blocks away from where I live is a little section of power lines that don't really connect with anywhere, front or back. It's in a little alley that really doesn't go anywhere either. And there are always pigeons on it. 

And I've taken this photo a dozen times. 

If I had more energy I'd go back and find those pictures and superimpose them to see if I compose them the same way every time. I suspect I do.

 I take a lot of architectural photographs. Elevations. Transitional spaces, framed, narrated, with shifting spaces behind. A low volume to the left, a canopy that extends to nowhere, and a double heigh space with clearstory windows. 

Wide steps. You could simply stop and sit. 

Doors without handles. But they have kicks. They open outwards, the kicks are on the wrong side. 

Tension in transitions. Layers in depth and height. 

It's a church. It's an intriguing building. 

I'm pretty sure I've taken this exact photograph of this exact church before. I know for a fact I've taken a photograph of this church before.

 "And the joke is rather sad

That it's all just a little bit of history repeating." 

Propellerheads, with the marvelous Shirley Bassey singing. 

I process in batches. Sometimes the photos are all the same. I live in the same place. I walk the same streets. The photos are, undoubtedly, going to repeat. Today. 

Tomorrow. 

Definitely over the weekend. 

So it goes.

Flight to Ontario and then a long car ride. The kid reacted appropriately.
