I went to the ocean today. It’s a bit of a landmark in a couple ways, one of which being that I haven’t seen the ocean in almost exactly two years, the second being that it’s the first time I’ve actually left the Portland metro area since I moved here. Nina and I have been dumping some money into some maintenance and repairs on my car and it’s beginning to earn my trust again as a vehicle capable of making trips longer than “across town” (where it was also beginning to lose my trust). I took some photos and things that I’ve dumped off my memory cards and started to sift through and “develop,” but I honestly don’t know why I’m up right now. I might find time to post some stuff tomorrow.

Shinfo: Even though it took me just over two years to reach my first 10,000 shots on my camera, it’s taken me only 100 days since then to hit 15,000. This means, if my math isn’t wonky, that I’ve increased average photos per day from 13 to 50 in the last 3 months. Unlike my 10,000th photo, which I uploaded even though it was awful, my 15,000th photo must have REALLY sucked, because I deleted it off the camera. I can tell you it was either a sea anemone or some kind of fish. Why am I still up? More tomorrow. Maybe.
