While waiting for the ghosts and goblins to appear yesterday, I decided to ignore the continued grayness and dampness that seems to have more or less permanently descended upon the Washington area the last two weeks to take a walk along Goose Creek. This is one of the scenic waterways of Northern Virginia and can always be counted on to lift the spirits if not to produce stunning photos. The wind, rain and lateness of the season meant that most of the Autumn leaves have fallen and turned to dry brown.
This seemed like the perfect time to explore swipes, swirls and assorted camera motions. The great advantage of digital photography is that this is costless - try doing this film! - and the feedback is immediate. Soon it was time to headback and get ready to add to the sugar overload of the neighborhood children.
In an entirely unrelated matter - well it is actually not unrelated - led me suggest that if you are using a Mac you rush out and get the just released Magic Mouse. This is a wireless Bluetooth mouse that lets you use its entire surface, not just little buttons, to control your cursor. It is almost as if I were using my iPhone to control my computer. Very Cool!!
