Mist (Missed)


 
Santa Monica, 2008. Somehow the night is different in November.

Quiet Corner


 
New York, 2008. I was already thinking about the flight home.

Empire State


 
New York, 2008. Not enough time this trip to shoot at night except for this one quick image I caught before jumping into a cab.

We’re on Mars too

Mars Phoenix Lander

Mars, 2008. This more-or-less true color image shows the special DVD containing about 250,000 names (including cbell’s) and other information velcroed onto the Mars Phoenix Lander. Image: NASA (obviously).

The Phoenix Lander like the Spirit and Opportunity Rover missions before have reignited my long-standing interest in planetary exploration that dates back to afternoons in the late 70s and early 80s sitting in absolute awe watching the “live” images coming back from the Voyager 1 & 2 missions.

Weatherford

Weatherford Wind Farm

Weatherford, OK, 2008. This growing wind power installation creates an impressive view along the horizon. I took this shot while driving east on I-40 across Oklahoma last March.

Last clear night

Moon reflection

Marina del Rey, CA, 2008. By the end of the evening, it was raining (and it hasn’t really stopped since).

Back on the road

Dale Evans Parkway Exit

Apple Valley, CA, 2008. I was ready for a long drive in the rain to kick-off the annual pilgrimage to LasVegas for CES, but as soon as I crossed the mountain pass, the clouds parted a bit and the rain stopped. The vista views were dramatic with the sun poking through the dense clouds.

Coffee

I’ve set a personal limit of two cups of coffee a day—it’s enough to have a real taste of something I truly enjoy, but not so much that it makes me feel like I’m turning my stomach into shoe leather. It’s tough to stick to that, though, since someone delivered a full pot of the tasty brew right to my room at 6:30.
