>Captain’s Log, Stardate 201102.6

Much accomplished on the first day of the weekend yesterday, especially with printing and preparing to show RAW files to compare with processed images- for the first time I plan to attend the tweak session on a Sunday at TCSP, since I won’t be there next Saturday.

Then, it’s on to the backcountry whether PS Aerial Tramway or JTNP- and stops along the way; perhaps REI has the new regulator Jetboil?

I hope so much that Grant is able to retain custody of my grandson Kendell this week in court…. my distrust of attorneys and the legal system is nagging me.

>This evening will be devoted to printing HDR shots from the portraits done today, and learning about the coroner-medical examiner issues in a FRONTLINE documentary on PBS- then what I call Preparation H:
getting ready for another 2 day camp/shoot and rock climb in Joshua Tree National Park, CA.

I’m going to be conducting a job search this week, as my contract with Mineral King Radiology in Visalia ends in May 2011. Already interviewed yesterday with a nearby group at Tulare Regional Medical Center, where I had been offered a position in 2009. I may end up returning to southern CA to work later this year…
meanwhile, next Sat and Sunday there will be the annual rad meeting at Pasadena Convention Center for LA Radiological Society which I ‘ll attend.

The DEFIANT is in synchronous orbit around the third planet from a nearby yellow mid-class star known locally as Sol- the sun. This is my inaugural log entry from this sector.

My name is William Hooks, also known as the Emissary of Bajor- Benjamin Lafayette Sisko, from STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE as my alter-ego.

When I’m not in the backcountry or doing photography, I practice radiology. Today I’m starting another week of vacation and have entered an HDR image from a shoot in West Covina this morning.

For a look at some of my other images, go to ModelMayhem.com (my ID# is 556396) and to my Facebook page.

I don’t always drink beer. But when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

Stay thirsty, my friends.
