Santa Fe
.jpg)
Wendy and I ended up without the kids for few days, so we decided to take the scenic route down to Santa Fe and kick around New Mexico a bit.
I've been to Santa Fe before, but she used to spend a lot of time down there, so it was cool to have her to sort of show me around. And, as always, we took her ipod which is loaded with hits from the '70's. This is possibly one of the best parts of the road trips, as she plays lots of songs that I've not heard in 30 years. Or, if I have heard them, I don't know who sings them. And she'll quiz me all the time on "who sings this", which of course, I seldom know. Ambrosia? Atlanta Rhythm Section? 10cc? Who knew?
Here's a brief slideshow of some photos I shot this month (April 2010). Some of them were around Denver. About half of them were from the trip down to Santa Fe.
The images were all captured on one of the following:
- Canon EOS 50D with a Canon L-series image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM) with ET-83C hood and a Canon EF 1.4x Extender II.
- Canon EOS 40D with an image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM).
The images are compiled into a 16 Meg (4:05) Adobe Flash slideshow(2010_Santa_Fe.swf) that you should be able to open and view with any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.). To view the slideshow, just click on the photo above. If you want to view the slideshow as a Windows executable, you can play this version (2010_Santa_Fe.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.
The soundtrack is "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc. Lyrics in the extended entry.

I'm Not In Love
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)
I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)
(Be quiet, big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
(Big boys don't cry)
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lyin' there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made, ooh
I'm not in love, I'm not in love...
