Mostly photography but with bits of running, tech, and musings on life

In spite of the title, It’s not actually any sort of campfire. Instead,it’s part of my computer mouse, taken at a slow shutter speed as I move the camera. But it reminded me a campfire, so I went with it.

Was over at PieCon, the greatest little pie-eating and gaming “convention” on the Central Coast, today. One of the great traditions is Emir’s lumpia, which are fried spring rolls. Even though they aren’t pie, it’s probably for the best, since it’s ill-advised to live on pie alone for an entire weekend.

Welcome to Night Vale is a pretty entertaining podcast, if you like weird, vaguely creepy and surreal radio shows.

Was out for an evening photowalk and having a hard time figuring out what to take a picture of, when I heard a “meow” and saw the movement of this friendly feline as it approached a rock in the yard I was near. I knelt down and proceeded to take some shots and it stayed put the entire time, except for one moment where I moved a bit too much and it got a bit skittish.

When I was done and got up to leave, it calmly walked away. Clearly, we had an unspoken, mutally beneficial arrangement: I got a photo subject, and it got some attention, but from a safe distance.
