Getting back to this blog thing

Blue Van Dyke print

Like so many of these posts, I'm writing to explain why I'm not writing much. After San Francisco, I spent a week in Long Beach with the ASU Sailing Team doing an intensive summer training camp (rhymes with pics to come). I've also been working on the ASU Sailing website, asusailing.org. After getting back from that I've been plunged into some rather intense summer courses, including an art history and alternative photographic processes. Also, I spent a week at and in the Grand Canyon for a couple of friends' wedding on the North Rim. The Gila Monster blew a rear shaft seal outside of Flagstaff, so I got an extra night there on the way up.

ASF/Laser Fleet Demo Day

The other day, the local Laser fleet and the Arizona Sailing Foundation teamed up to demonstrate the Laser sailboat. Winds were higher than forecast at 18-24 mph, with gusts in the upper 20s. Only two boats wound up going out, but a kite boarder was also on hand to add some excitement for the shoreside spectators.







P.S. I'm now using Adobe Lightroom, and it seems to be a pretty cool tool for doing most of what I do with my photography. It is kinda pricey, but so far it's working well for helping me manage a smooth workflow. I still don't know how well it'll work when it comes to managing multiple hard drives of data (that time is coming all too soon), but it's pretty good at the scale I'm at.
