This last vacation was more of a vacation from the camera than anything else. While Atlantic Beach now lacks a miniature golf course with proper gorillas (RIP Jungle Land), it was otherwise a good trip. I also bought this really awesome fossil of some 350 million year old snails. Yeah, I like snails. Snails rock. (And I can say this because only 4 people read this blog and none will hold that against me. Right?)
I wasn’t planning on it, but I managed to attend the Cherry Point air show (at night, motto: where the stealth bombers are extra stealth), where they have helicopters that shoot fireworks out of them. Kind of amusing. Though it came with some levels of self-esteem-adjustment. Case in point: there was this really good stunt
pilot there that was flying around to rock music, and the guy on the announcer indicates he ALSO writes his own music that he then flies to. That’s right, professional rock musician and stunt pilot. And what do you do for a living again? Computer stuff 
In other news, I ordered a Moog E1 guitar this weekend. Should be fun. For the neighbors. BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I’ll have to work on the pilot thing :p
Photos start here in the previously existing Atlantic Beach set, again just the Panasonic GF1 this time. I still get questions when I’m taking pictures in the dark. (What are you taking a picture of?). Beaufort would really be super ideal for long exposes of old houses and the way the light comes through windows and onto porches and stuff, but then again I’d probably just get arrested so I stuck to the boardwalk.
E1! Want!
