January: I was still in Seattle, but at that point I was beginning to see that I had to leave soon or else face irrecoverable mental strain. Nevertheless, it was a creative time for me personally — it really wasn’t so bad being unemployed in a city that you can easily walk.

I decided that this place needs a name other than the Arbuckles, or South Central Oklahoma. Clearly this state wasn’t just settled by a bunch of too-soon hicks looking for Indian land to call their white bread own, as the town names signify.

It’s not entirely impulsive, as I haven’t been the same since my Pentax Optio S70Z died after nearly 4 years and 9,800 photos of rigorous duty. I bought the Canon Powershot G10, the Bosch dishwasher of consumer-grade cameras. Here’s the first set of “acceptable to show” photographs.
