Hey Kev,

you're short a few photos.

On Running

I'll be running a lot more often these days, and with my phone to map my progress and take pictures along the way. This was yesterday evening around Berkley Lake.

"On Wednesday afternoon of the same week, I was driving down Gaien Higashidori, when I spied a woman who resembled Shimamoto. She had on blue cotton pants, a beige raincoat, and white deck shoes. And she dragged one leg as she walked. As soon as I saw her, everything around me froze. A lump of air forced its way up from my chest to my throat. Shimamoto, I thought. I drove past her to check her out in the rearview mirror, but her face was hidden in the crowd. I slammed on my brakes, getting an earful of horn from the car behind me. The way the woman held herself and the length of her hair - it was Shimamoto exactly. I wanted to stop the car right then and there, but all the parking spots were full. Two hundred meters or so ahead, I finally found a place and managed to squeeze my car in, then I ran back to find her. But she was nowhere to be seen. I ran around like a lunatic. She had a bad leg, so she couldn't have gone too far, I told myself. Shoving people aside, jaywalking across the streets, I ran up the pedestrian overpass and looked down on all the passersby below. My shirt was soaked with sweat. Soon, though, a revelation dawned on me. She had been dragging the opposite leg. And Shimamoto's leg was no longer bad."

So i was gifted a used Leica..

digital camera and am trying to figure out what i think. Obviously "Leica" comes with prestige. It's described as a compact, although it is slightly larger than my Canon. It has a zoom equivalent of 35mm to 420 mmm, so that's something (my zoomiest lens tops out at 210mm). It also has built in sd video recording. Anyway, hopefully i'll get some time to play with it.


UPDATE:

You can also add captions this way.
