Postcards from Nowhere: San Francisco
.jpg)
Really had a blast this weekend with Carrie out here. I'm not clear how many people knew she was coming out. I don't even think she knew for sure if she was coming out until she actually landed. Friday was cloudy and cold, but Saturday and Sunday were nice enough for us to run up to Napa and Muir Beach. Ended up being an insanely fun weekend that I could write a whole book about if only I had the time.
The images were all captured on a Canon EOS 50D frame and a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens, or on a Canon EOS 50D frame with a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens. A couple of shots were captured with an iPhone 4S.
This slideshow features a song by Adele called Turning Tables.
I chose this song because I was giving Carrie grief for bringing a bunch of old-school CD's along. Then, we ended up listening to them, of course, as the radio sucked so bad. One of her CD's was an Adele compilation, which had this track on it.
We were just sort of driving along the Pacific Coast Highway and then, suddenly I realized that the song had turned into a duet. Adele had accompaniment. There just aren't words for how beautiful Carrie's voice is. You just can't know.
The images are compiled into a 8 Meg (4:01) Adobe Flash slideshow (carrie.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 (carrie.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.

Lyrics in the extended entry.
Adele
"Turning Tables"
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe
So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Under haunted skies I see you (ooh)
Where love is lost your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down, whoa
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe
So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning, oh
