2009 Discoveries - Columbus Day - 10-12-2009, 06:52 AM


Well, in 1492 Columbus discovered the Americas (in the European mind). In 2009, what did you discover?

A couple of mine:
  • My Bronica
  • The choclate Bar in Houston
  • The new skittles
  • How much I miss the mountains.

What's your list?

-Change under the couch cushions
-That I may be a better photographer than I give myself credit for, but I still can't make a living at it
-Five Guys Burgers
-life without car notes and a mortgage
-what it really means to have good friends and good family

A bit of a rediscovery for me was Canon FD (an Original F-1 and some choice glass to accompany it)

The whole digital darkroom concept (thanks, Wayne!)

I discovered that there are some decent people on TPF who will give a not-very-good male nude model a better chance than he deserves.

Medium format digital photography
Live music is fun again (too many 'working' concerts in the past)
Working for a startup is still more interesting than the alternative

juvenile probation can be fun
a daughter growing boobs is more of a pain in the butt than before
a newly paid off car does not always immediately break down
the gym
the watchmen
third deployments are just as hard and the first and second
