The harmattan is officially over, as are my apologies and excuses about catching you up on recent events. All in due time, friends!
The first rain came down last week, a welcome sight. After it stopped the air smelled like dust–really pungently. It was odd if only for the fact that usually dust is a somewhat muddled smell, even if you accidentally take in a vacuum cleaner bag of it. If the smell wasn’t enough of an indicator, the newfound clarity in the sky sealed the deal that our dusty days are over. Now things are starting to heat back up again, being a little more crazy-tropical. I like it.
Our second big rain was yesterday, and it was a bit more epic. It lasted for a couple of hours, coming down in sheets, absolutely soaking this poor chair.
Lots lots of work to do here, but we’ve finished a long-standing employee hunt and once we have our new staff members trained we’ll have more time to focus on our relative areas of interest within the business workings instead of having to generalize. We’ve all been doing so much of so many things that it’s hard to tell where one person’s job ends and the next begins. Luckily we’re just one big happy family here so it all works out.
Keep checking my photostream, as I update it much more frequently than I do this site and I’ve been taking quite a lot of pictures. Catch you all on down the line.
what kind of camera do you have?
OK – I admit it. I left that chair in the yard when I was there 3 weeks ago. It’s all my fault it got wet. It’s raining here too but what else can you expect? Still fighting the time change and I will never take clean, flush toilets for granted again!
Jenny: I have a Canon T2i. It’s probably a bit on the expensive end for amateurs, but you can get cheaper digital SLRs for somewhere in the ~$400 range. If you’re looking to camera-up before your trip and want some advice shoot me an email.
Mom: Well, I’m ashamed to say that we had all assumed Cole was the culprit, scapegoat that he is. We like to attribute all mislaid objects to him, but it’s nice to have the occasional reminder that he didn’t do everything.
I would love some advice for a SLR camera. I am looking to spend around 300 (if possible) but could possibly spend another hundred if i was really confident in the camera. I love your pictures so much. And my tiny little digital camera will never take pictures like this. Please, shoot me an email when you get a chance. I just recently made up my mind to get a new camera and haven’t had the chance to research yet
I would say that just about any DSLR out there can produce great photos. A lot of it depends on the lens, but those are interchangeable. I’ll send you an email with an idea for a camera setup.
