The Road Ahead: 1/400s f/4.5 ISO200 200mm -0.3ev, Canon 30D, Canon 70-200L IS f2.8

I took the photo above of a cyclist as he went past at some speed, not knowing if I actually had a photo at all. There is a neat reflection of the road ahead in the sunglasses.

Not many updates recently since there have been many things competing for my time: family, taxes, work, job hunting, and coding being the main distractions. Some photography, but not a huge amount. Aperture is fast and there is just not a lot of news about it right now, so not so much to blog about it.

I've been working as a technical writer and advisor for a chip company in Cupertino for the last month, but that's a temporary position and the hunt for a real job continues. It's an interesting contrast to my previous employer: no phone calls, no meetings, and almost no email. I can actually sit and get things done all day.

After thinking about a photo-oriented Mac OS X application for a long time, I've taken the plunge and started bashing out code. I'm learning great chunks of Cocoa as I go along, so progress is slow but rewarding. I have no idea when I will be done, or even what "done" will be right now, but my plans are to make it useful and valuable enough that photographers will buy it. It will be Leopard-only.
