charisma
If you get a chance to hear the Scottish band Albannach*, you should definitely go.
This guy is Jamesie Johnson, and he’s – to put it very mildly – one of the most charismatic performers I’ve ever seen. According to the band’s webpage, he’s a fan of AC/DC, Mötley Crüe, Metallica and Pink Floyd. That doesn’t surprise me a bit. But apparently he also likes Yanni, a fact that makes my head explode just a little bit.

*For fun, think about looking up how to pronounce “albannach” and then spend a lot of time practicing it, especially when you are around people you don’t know. (Also, “albannach” is Scottish Gaelic for “Scottish.”)

Just stop. Ok? I don’t think I need to say anything else.

The sunset started in spectacular and over the course of a half-hour or so, just kept getting better and better.
After a while, I took a break from making regular sunset photos, and decided to do some with intentional camera movement. It’s kind of a cliche, a little redundant, perhaps derivative, but still I liked swirling the oranges and yellow together.

Look! More from the off season. It is really sort of silly how much I enjoy this photo.

I believe that seeing things in the off-season (like this beach and amusement park) is somehow related to my affection for looking around the back of buildings.
And I know without a doubt that I much prefer quieter, duller amusement parks to their mid-summer counterparts.
