Post-expedition ennui is overwhelming me today. Things turned complicated and sour at Sarah’s work while we were gone. I’ve had little success in my job search, and the need to do so grows ever more pressing as Sarah finds it harder and harder to deal with working in a field she never had any desire in which to work. She wants to be a teacher, and for that, we need to get her back into school. To do that, we need to get me a job with benefits.
I’ll probably end up photoshopping out the lens flare later on, but right now I kind of like it. This is another HDR from Arches National Park at dawn(ish). I was going to shoot this same picture at sunset last night but couldn’t be arsed. Have to pace yourself on these kinds of adventures or you’ll get exhausted too soon. Yesterday evening was a rest period.
Today’s a driving day. We’re going to round up our belongings here in a bit and get on the road to Page, Arizona. Page is near Antelope Canyon, a place I’ve been anticipating photographing since I started taking nature photography more seriously.
This is an HDR from the dawn shooting, looking back towards the sun and through the North and South Window Arches. You can kind of see Turret Arch peeking through there too.
My story “Groob’s Stupid Grubs,” a story of a goblin’s hopes for his idiot children, is available in Black Gate 15.
I recently finished the first draft of a YA novel called Takedown Notice set in the net-mage universe of my stories “Captain Blood’s B00ty” and “One Click Banishment.” What happens when the Magical Association of Atlantis finally gets the upper hand against the net mages in the spell program copyfight?
