X-E1 1ST WANDERABOUT

... 20°f outside, windy, but i needed run errands and i figured today would be a better time than tomorrow, when it's predicted a nasty rain-to-freezing-rain-to-rain-then-finally-to-freezing-rain-again storm is supposed to hit central maine ... i put the just in from japan 16-50mm lens on my fujifilm x-e1 (dōmo arigatōgozaimashita, mr. chifumi sato), and drove down the east river road to augusta ...

... i'm not sure, what with the cover of snow and ice, but i think that a long, long time ago pa may've owned this car ... we used to snuggle in sleeping bags atop the roof to watch the northern lights (automobiles were once made of very thick metal) ...

... across the road, one of central maine's many dairy farms ... the kennebec river runs its course in the steep valley behind the buildings ...

... here's the same interpreted in black and white ... you can use the little comment box to register your vote ...

... last night i watched a movie while i practiced manipulating the x-e1's many control dials, knobs and buttons ... having already focused upon my floor lamp, i decided to direct my attention to one of my shelf racks ...

... during the day i found a portrait of robert as he did a bit of research concerning a new consumer product that i think is going to make some astute investors very, very rich ...

... the x-e1 and i, we're getting much better acquainted ...
