Aram, Bille:
You're not crazy; I had the same thought: "where is everybody?"
Here's my little "Carte Postale"...
I just did a little shooting, down to the Pacific Ocean. Very moody,
picturesque area on Washington coast called "Moclips". Immense, wide, sandy
beaches, high bluffs covered with wind-tortured pines and undersbrush, almost
constant on shore winds.
Just a few days with family to truly get away; comfortable, run-down cabins
with no TV, cell phone, (no telephones there, either), wood fires, lots of
sleeping and contemplating the Endless Sea.
First shot I took with the R8 my spendy 77 Heliopan Circular Polarizer fell off
into the dense brush below the wood deck of the cabin. I did find it, after a
half hour of very careful, methodical searching through the overgrown grasses
and shrubs. Looked like there was a bear fight down there after I withdrew
with my errant Heliopan in hand.
Not a scratch. But I learned my lesson about double checking to be sure that
it is fully screwed into the lens head. Scared the _______ out of me.
Shot with the T2 and R8, tricky because of patches beach fog running with the
wind; R8 meter told me it was much brighter than my eyes suggested. Took 6
rolls of Fuji 400 X print but only shot 2 due to lots of fog.
But with friends and good books and a fire, who cares about the fog?

I'm not working for Qwest anymore so switched to Comcast; 6-8 Mb is definately
faster than 1.5!
I hope all are having some Great Summer Moments - with or without camera and
film.
