Night Walk

These photos are from another walk around Richmond (Carytown). It was a busy night for Richmond. The Virginia Premier of Steve Spielberg's Lincoln was at the Byrd Theater.

New Belgium Brewery was having some kind of promotion at the New York Deli ( Got a key chain bottle opener,becasue I needed another one of those.)

This walk about town was like many of my other ones. My wife had something to do and I passed the time by walking around and taking pictures. This is the first time it has been at night though. I was looking forward to a night shoot I just wish I hadn't been lazy and left my tripod at home. Now I just need Laura to find a meeting or something at sunset so I can get some magic hour shots.

Plan 9, record stores are a dying breed.

Descent of a Beer

A beer going down, not much better; maybe whiskey but that is for another time. Sitting around trying to watch a movie one night I took these photos. Apparently I was paying less attention to the movie than I was my drink. But what is wrong with that? The movie was RocknRolla; I will have to watch it again, I heard it is good, the beer Fat Tire.






Fat Tire is a small brewing company out of Fort Collins, Co. I can’t get in Virginia yet. The beer was brought up to me by my friend Billy from North Carolina. It has just been distributed to his city. He is a little obsessed with the stuff. I do find it a tasty beverage but I’m not nearly fanatical as old Billy.






While trying to concentrate on the movie I thought of the 60mm lens I have that I hardly ever use. I recently bought an 18 to 200mm lens that is a great all around lens so I rarely take it off. Their just happened to be a beer in front of me so I got out the camera out and started snapping. I also just got a SB-600 so I wanted to get some practice with that as well.






The descent of a beer is a short story but it is a good one; smooth, tasty and refreshing.
