Sam's Gig

Went to my nephew Sam's gig in North Royalton tonight. He's played with this band for a while. As I understand they are mostly fellow students of his guitar teacher. They sounded great.

We were late and my SLR camera was in the car, so all I had was the point and shoot which wasn't doing so well. Bad recoil, the autofocus wasn't doing so hot and I couldn't get close enough. Sometimes you just have to make do. I made the full-screen photos pretty big, so please be sure view in that mode.

Ice Racing

I found this great piece on ice racing in New England from the New York Times in their Lens blog. Great story, it pulled me right in and had me cheering.
