I started scanning the negative of the pictures I took this past weekend with the Hasselblad but I have a sore throat, which never fails to make me feel miserable, and I don’t think I could do it. I’ll have to remember to make sure that the battery in my digital light meter is not dead before I go out shooting with the Hasselblad or else I’ll end up with a bunch of either underexposed or overexposed images. Could’ve used my digital camera to meter the light but I didn’t think of it then. Oh well.
The historic takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could come as soon as this weekend, moved to the forefront of the presidential campaign Saturday.
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
