This weekend I’m renting a lens from Professional Photo Resources, an Atlanta shop that will rent you pretty much anything you need, photographically. I’m trying out the Canon 85 mm prime lens, f/1.8. ((I thought about trying the f/1.4 but there’s no way I’d buy one of those at $2,500)) So far so good, although …

Back to the Appalachian Trail
I’m heading up to my Appalachian Trail section this Saturday to do water bar cleanout and weed whacking. I’m also taking my GPS equipped phone along and going to try and map the section with some waypoints so that when I describe to people “hey, we need to repair that water bar at [that place],” …
The Why and How of Tebow-Time with Intro from the Eyebrowistrator
Two days ago I alluded to a sea change coming to the Eyebrow. I may have been guilty of just a bit of hyperbole, yet what is happening is unprecedented. There are now two authors on this blog! Everyone welcome Thomas Chapman of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He likes long walks on the beach and puppies and …

I plan to take pictures and cheer the Jammers and generally enjoy myself. What will you be doing? Here’s the flyer. I imagine that it will be a …
Pistol Class
As a surprise, I took Jenn to an NRA 1st Steps Pistol class today, conveniently right around the corner from where we live. We had gone trap shooting recently and Jennifer had purchased a Living Social deal at a local range for time on their shooting range, so why not treat her to some organized …
The Evil Eyebrow: Soon with more Evil?
A change is coming to the Eyebrow. Some will consider it a sea change; others a welcome addition. Still others may regard it as the end of all things known and knowable. I regard it as a shift in paradigm. What is this mysterious thing I’m referring to? I won’t tell you. Not yet, at …
Euphoria Burn 2012
It was happenstance that we both found out about the Euphoria event and were able to get tickets. It was whimsical to go but, “What the hell?” we thought, “Let’s go!” So we did. I’m hardly the expert on burns, but the way I’ve been describing them is “regional clones of Burning Man” which you …
