Up at dawn
Richmond Dairy, 201 West Marshall Street
Apartments for the lactose-tolerant (not a dairy anymore)
Oz got me up at 6:20 a.m. so we could wander photographically around Broad Street and the fringes of Jackson Ward. Being out that early is good for the light and the lack of traffic. Not so good? Forgetting to reset the image processing option on the camera from how I left it last night. "Sharpness" was set high and the edges of things look a little too edgy for my taste. Even so, I got some good shots, they just also happen to be … sharp.
Now we're a little jet-lagged what with having got a whole day's activity over with before noon. And sleepy. I had things I wanted to write, but I forgot them. Except for this:
We were driving through the Fan the other evening, and as we passed through VCU, I said, "There's the engineering building. This time of the semester it's filled with engineering students. Suffering."
Oz said, "You want to go in there and torture them? You can tell them how we saw one of your fellow grads working retail. And what have you done since graduation? Well, you've got a lot of blog entries under your belt."
"Hey!"
