End of the world, anyone wake up dead today?

You mean I put a fresh roll of film in the camera, purchased a good cigar, a pint of great scotch, loaded the shotgun and there is no big show to watch?

Anyone getting any good shots in today?

The world is not allowed to end before I've had my coffee.
After that, who knows?

So far so good! (I guess I'd better get those bills in the mail)

Where can I buy front row seats?

How much are the tickets? Can buy them on credit?

[MartinCrabtree]

Sorry but great scotch doesn't come in pints.

Thank you for stimulating the economy, we'll need such help going forward.

The camera's a good idea; it's hard, showing things that haven't happened. (In fact, that would be a very good exercise. )

Pretty nice sunrise here in Austin, Tx this morning, will have to wait a couple of weeks to see the negs.

Just how many pictures of tinfoil hats can one take?

I realized that I hadn't printed up my entire 'By The Water' picture series yet, so I decided that was a good excuse to procrastinate with the end-of-the-world-thing.


Attached is a little snap I took this morning of my bathroom clock. At 5.12AM Central Standard Time was the actual winter solstice. I got up at 5.08AM to post that picture on Facebook, as possibly being the last posted picture there ever. But I was cheated out of its special fate, because at 5.13AM the ground was still reasonably firm under my feet. It was borderline disappointing.
