new start

i have decided to make this a photo blog. a simple collection. that means i don't have to come up with anything to say, or if i want to, it can be super corny. we'll see where it goes.

now to start off:

the last discovery shuttle to go into orbit, from the viewing station. (the orange tip is all you can see)

i took a photo of it actually taking off, from a nearby-ish beach, but the photo-developing people decided that particular photo of the sky was not something i really wanted and threw it away, despite there being a clear completely-vertical line of exhausts center frame. i'll just have to remember it with my mind.
