Moving to Montreal
After 15 years here in Petaluma, our homestead will be changing in November. We’ll be driving to Montreal, our stuff will be traveling in a big ass truck, and hopefully we’ll arrive at the new digs at about the same time and everything will work according to plan. 3000 miles, another country… OK, I’m being optimistic. Stay tuned…
The image is of my Canon EOS M on the lazy table on a glorious summer day. I converted it to black and white with Nik (Google) Silver Efex Pro 2 and layered in the red in Photoshop.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.

Shapes, sky, shiny stuff
One of the main challenges of shooting everything with a prime lens is that it’s a fixed (aka, cemented in stone) focal length. For the past couple of years I’ve been mostly a zoom shooter. With the EOS M, I trying to stick with the compact 22mm prime.
Lens: Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM.

Saturday abstraction
Though all of my recent image posts have been “straight on” shots, the majority of what I’ve been shooting while walking around town with my new M has been anything but. Here’s a shot of the Petaluma High School parking lot. No cars, just lines and shapes.
Lens: Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM. 1/250 second at f/5.6, ISO 400.

Homage to my old boots
We completely cleaned out our garage a couple of weeks ago to make space for a video shoot of our band. Tucked away amidst the years of accumulated clutter were my old Santa Rosa Brand work/hiking boots. I’m pretty sure I bought them in the very early 80s, and I obviously put a whole lot of miles on them before they were retired to the garage. Now, they just look cool.
I couldn’t resist a little pastoral treatment for the old waffle stompers.
