I just missed catching this tour. They played in Chicago a couple nights ago, and I will be in Chicago tonight. Oh well. Believe it or not, Red Fang is the band I’d like to see most. Although I’m a huge fan of both Opeth and In Flames, I have found little to get excited over on their last few albums. Plus, I’ve never seen Red Fang.

This wasn’t the only near miss. Bourn caught a home run during this same game.

Curtis Granderson home run? backswing

@cgrand3 @Baseball_Photos

Today’s photo is part two of three. Part one can be found here. I’ll give you hint, on this day (6/20/12), the game between the New York Yankees and the Atlanta Braves tied the record for most homers in a game at (any) Yankee Stadium with nine.

Surfing Carmel-by-the-Sea

Last December we headed south for our winter break. On our way back from Santa Barbara we watched the sun set in Carmel on an incredibly warm day-after-Christmas evening.

My 24-120mm f/4 Nikkor lens is a great travel lens, but on this evening I wished I had brought along something longer.
