This is one of my first photo’s when I got serious about photography that I was really proud of. I always loved the moon but the crescent shape back then was what I tried to photograph. Now, hell I would of tried to get the moon full and large and the sunrise. My preference now is large and full. Who knows what my flavor of the week will be in a few years.

I haven’t done a lot of middle of the night star and cool landmark photography. I live in the downtown of a city and we might see 200 total stars on any given clear night. But I watched some time lapse video’s from http://www.timescapes.org/ and his video “learning to Fly” so I did, and it’s amazing how fast stars move in 30 seconds…amazing stuff But after the sun comes up I have experience at that stuff, I was pretty happy at my night stuff.

I got up really early, or did I get up really late? Either way my alarm was set for 1am. I guess we can go with got up late because the clerk at Plaid Pantry did say have a nice night. I arrived at Johnston Ridge Observatory at 3:30am and it was spooky. Mostly because their was another car in the parking lot but it also had something to do with my ear were ringing because it was so quite. Zero sounds, just a river a few miles down the way, a water spout that was dripping and a loose sign up on the hill that reminded people to stay on the trail. It was a horrible drive up, a lot of fog and a giant mysterious elk that was or was not in the road hidden by fog. I had my fingers crossed that the fog would die off or something, never would of guessed that 4000 feet up you would end up above clouds and fog for a clear shot at the mountain. I will go back and do this again, maybe just staying up and getting there earlier or just camping and doing it Louis and Clark style.
This might be my last upload from my old apartment. I was digging thru all my stuff and found this photo that I had not posted. Of course with the fog we’ve had the last couple weeks reminded me how amazing the week this photo was taken really was.

It’s amazing that a sunrise can change the morning mood. I get up every morning take two steps to the right and look out the window. If it’s nice I continue to the living room, if it’s cloudy right to the bathroom. I do need to change my alarm to a little earlier with the day light savings. But living in Portland do I really take the chance on a 50/50 surnise or cloudy morning?
This is the new SquidVicious.com Thanks to my sister for getting my new page set up and going. It’s another blog but it’s a blog for everything. I have a few different blogs that would be specialized like www.ihateflipflops.com which is my hate towards flip flops. Then I have www.fivezerothree.com which is my photo blog. And of course I have my blog at work and myspace and facebook. And also twitter. This will be the best of all worlds. It will be all my personalities and not just a flip flop hater or photo guy or music guy. I have links and other things on the tabs at the top. I have some links of my stuff and links of friends and family.
