The other day I was working and a customer put me on hold and the hold music was a song that I have not listen to in about 20 years. It was "Fight the Good Fight" by Triumph. I use listen to this when I was in high school. I even tried playing guitar like Rik Emmett, but that was kind of like giving a monkey a Stradivarius and hoping he will be able to play it. (Sorry monkeys)
I found their myspace page and have been listening to them. It is amazing I still remember most of the lyrics. I am going to have to pull out the old tape deck and do some more listening. (Now I feel old. Is that like my parents listening to old 8-tracks?)
(I stole the title from "Magic Power")
Did I say that they are going to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame?

Ansel Adams

Most people complain that today's photographers "cheat" by using photoshop. I would have to disagree. With photoshop you can adjust contrast, levels, burn and dodge without wasting chemical, paper and time. People have always played with their work. Ansel Adams moonrise hernandez new mexico was one of his most corrected image. It took him untold amount of time to "correct" that image.
Another image that I saw of Admas was on a valley in the Rockies. (Sorry I do not remeber the name of the print but I saw it at the MFA in 2006) He was UNHAPPY that the beautiful valley had a parking lot so he took it out. If you did that in photoshop today people would get all upset.

This is one of my images from Sunday. I just love the new 50 mm 1.8 lens! Yes, you cannon folk, they make the same lens for you too. It was the best $110 lens that your money can buy.
