<p>Hello Nikon people. A good Wednesday to all, and hopes for some interesting photographs. I was looking out the front door today, and my eye rested on what it occurred to me is a central feature of my picture-making infrastructure. There they are: power and network connectivity. Wired up from a big wooden stick. Pretty fragile! Utterly dependent on those grid items to get batteries charged, and data representing all these pixels pushed from one place to the next. But it's still all hanging off the skeleton of an old pine tree. Please! I'm begging you: share something more interesting than I did!</p><div></div>

[Matthew Currie]

<p>I've taken some flak in the past for using a power transformer as a lens test subject, so I'm glad to see another.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, I was out cruising the streets of Rutland, Vermont, one of those towns that has a little trouble keeping its Main street main.</p><div></div>

[Matthew Currie]

<p>Meanwhile, in nearby Middlebury, urban renewal progresses, as the former town office/gym/community center regards the advancing machinery with a watchful eye.</p><div></div>

[Matthew Currie]

<p>This piece also remains, a stately bit of the past, losing the battle against weeds and progress both.</p><div></div>
