  1. Toronto Flickr Meetup @ The Red Room

    Perchance, I was reading the Toronto forum on Flickr to see if they’d had a meetup in February yet, and noticed that it was scheduled for the 16th! I decided to go.

    This is the first Flickr-based event I’ve attended since Vandigicam: Code Blue on August 4th, the day before David phoned me from the hospital. I flew East, and didn’t attend any Philadelphia or New York Flickr meetups. I went to one Northeast Photography Club meeting, the first week of December.

    I wasn’t 100% sure I felt like mingling with strangers (which can make for awkward questions), but I talked myself into going, and asked China if she wanted to come along (which reinforced my commitment to going). (more…)

  3. See the Sun

    February 16, 2006 by Gail

    The weekend before last, I was driving through torrential rain along the I-476 in Pennsylvania, listening to music from my iPod via the car stereo. This song came on, and the lyrics echoed in my mind as I replayed our last flight together, the brilliance of the setting sun before us as we approached the runway beside the Susquehanna River.

    I’ve watched this clip many times, to simulate the feeling of watching the sun set from our little airplane. I love flying during sunsets — their beauty seems to go on forever due to altitude. Time stands still.
