external monologue

monochromatic canopy

i have some bad news. last night i worked over at lang and charity's new house doing some painting, and i took quite a few pictures with the digicam. when i got home, i tried to pull them off the smartmedia card with my cardreader and there was only junk (a bunch of weird text and characters) on the card. then i tried putting the card back in the camera to see if the photos were still there, and it wouldn't start up. it just flashes some error code. so, either the smartmedia card is acting up, the camera's broken, or the cardreader is corrupting the cards. hopefully its just the 64MB card and i can swap it out with my 16MB card and limp along until my D70 arrives. i'm going to try the switch this evening and see what i come up with. if the cardreader is bad, or the camera is, then i may have to get along with backlog photos for the next month or so. i suppose that could force me to be creative, but it may not be too interesting.

the most unfortunate part about the whole situation is that (i think) i lost last night's pictures, some of which were really great: a portrait of lang and charity in their kermit-the-frog-green laundry room, kiko dancing in the kitchen, and isaac flicking off the camera (as per usual). so, instead, today's photo is from our recent snowday: a worms-eye view (is that the opposite of birds-eye view?) of the monochromatic canopy of trees in our driveway.

but, i also have some good news: Beastie Boys Return With New Album In June...
