Ok so I got bored and made all that up (like nobody could tell? ). I went shooting down in the rice fields... Tweren't much moving or interesting down there. On the return trip I smelled smoke about 15 minutes from home but I never saw any evidence of fire.

I got the idea for this thread when I shot the first image, which is the last image. The rest fell into place as I drove through a familiar area. I think my brain is broken

I think you were thinking quite well to make a photo story on a day when you weren't finding the usual great shots.
Job well done!

Thanks Noel. The truth is I was practicing a story line for some video sequences that I shot and plan to put into a video (a cheesy one at that). It's not going to be a video that wins at Caan 2012 but it will help me to understand (or misunderstand) the process... In other words, I'm just practicing the thought process of creating a video. The stills are kind of like the storyboard.

Me too! I can't wait... last 10 days of October... I have been waiting for this trip all year and I can't believe it is only a few weeks away.

That's about the time I'll be free(er) from my work cage Wes. I might run into you out there if I can get more than a day or two off at the same time.
