Holy Crap I'm in Nebraska. It's wider and flatter than I ever thought it would be. The land just goes and goes and goes. My wide angle lens doesn't even come close to covering the horizon.
It's my first Christmas away from my family, so it's pretty odd. The thing is though, I've been soooo friggen busy from Thanksgiving till now that I've hardly had a moment to contemplate it. Yet here I am. In Nebraska. On Christmas. Who'd of thunk it.
I am not freezing -- so that's a plus and an unexpected surprise. It's been really mild.
So far it's been a great time just visiting with everyone and getting to know Clarisa's side of the family a bit better. Today we drove out to an antique store in a town called Humphrey (population not a lot) and caught a bite to eat at a local watering hole. On the way back Clarisa and her aunt, Betty, decided they wanted to stop and check out an abandoned church on the side of the road. As soon as they got out of our rental, a guy came out of a garage type building next to the church and walked over to them. At the same point in time I see a Mexican looking guy come out of the side of the church with big white plastic buckets and the white guy waves the Mexican guy back in. Basically he wanted the curious ladies gone and would not answer any questions they had, at least not honestly. While this was going on, I was in the car getting ready to jump into the front seat and use a Ford Escape in a very literal method because it seemed that we had stumbled onto a place that had a bad vibe going on. Meth Lab? Chop shop? Hard to say - but the ladies are not allowed to be getting all curious for the rest our stay out here.
Welcome to your shootout is not really what I'm going for on this trip. LOL.
Anyhoo, tomorrow will be all about going out to shoot some film in the morning. I'm armed with a plethora of filters and lots of film so there should be more than a few pictures worth printing by the time I'm through here.
Well Merry Christmas, everyone. Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.
