When will I learn?

I went out in the late afternoon with the iPhone 4 to see what pictures I might get in the late day light against Dog Canyon and the mountains behind the park. I didn't get anything worth the effort I'm afraid. I never have.

Morning is better facing west across the Tullarosa Basin into a background not cluttered by the fine desert detail of the nearby mountainside to the east. That fine detail doesn't photograph well, especially with the phone.

See what I mean?

Running With the Pack

Hardly anyone out there is going to take this seriously, but TV changes you. The kicker is that if you watch it all the time, you'll never know, which under normal circumstances ought to scare you shitless...

No amount of sermonizing will make a difference here, so I'll move on. But I'm telling you, it's true. If you disconnect from the medium long enough to stop associating certain days and times with TV shows you're used to watching, you WILL be different, with values and behavior that arise from sources you never knew existed. There is no arguing with this, you simply have to experience it.
