Year In Pictures: 2010/05/10

When I compare the comfortable basement of my parents in-law to the dank, smelly pit that sits under our own house, I admit to some jealousy. Pictured on the far wall is atara and her sisters. At the time when this was taken, I suspect she had no inkling of the turn her life would take a few years later.

I don't know the story of the fish. It's an antique. Or something.



I shot this one at 7/10 of a second, with an aperture of f/4.8. Normally I would use a tripod for a shutter this slow, but I forgot to bring my tripod on the trip, so I had to rely on a basement post.
