Year of the Dog
Sil Lum Kung Fu Club brought their dragon out to a Feng Shui class I attended with Sharon. Need a red Budddha in the center of the house this year, and a whole bunch of other things, but a red Buddha is essential for a calm center this year. That sounds good.
Main Street, Park City, Sundance opening weekend
A private party/art opening/shopping with celebrities event at Chester's Blacksmith and Mary Jane's clothing stores (upstairs/downstairs). The plan was to cover the VIP room filled with goodies for celebrities, get their pictures with the goodies, and the crowds in the stores. I shot a lot more, especially the second night, when the place was open to the public. The show was called Young Guns, curated by a White Walls gallery from San Francisco.
An outtake from the 2005 Christmas project
I find the the flamingo needs the blue lights to be complete. I tried it without, and I much prefer them in the frame.
Review of my already purchased Sekonic light meter contains this confirming statement that I am not losing my grip. "Because I put more film through my Nikons than any other camera, I use its metering as my personal standard. Over the years I have found that all my handheld meters were 1/2 to 2/3 stop under the Nikon reading. But Sekonic, Gossen, et al. make no apologies for this, saying that there is no international standard for a neutral gray. Sekonic says they match Nikon's standards but I found about a 1/2 stop difference. Further shooting and tests will tell me more. "
The spot meter reads about 2/3 under the Nikon. Now that I know this... The fix is to set a compensation factor in one device or the other, and to stop going out into the cold and trying another experiment. Funny, as usual, I thought it was me...

I don't even like dog spit, so what I am thinking of, shooting dogs. Sharkey is an English Bull Terrier.
Salt Lake LDS Temple Square lights
It finally rained the day before New Year's Eve. I wanted a midnight blue sky, but the lights came on too late. On New Year's Eve, this place would be a mobhouse.
Christmas Street not quite ready for prime time
I met a resident of Christmas Street who told me that the lights were supposed to be on by 5:30. The Grinch didn't get the memo.
