whine & dine

So no trip to New York can be complete without a mandatory touristy shot of the Statue of Liberty (I was vaguely contemplating linking the wikipedia site but I’m going to assume all of you know what it is since anyway if you don’t there’s a picture above) and I’m caving and posting my very warped picture of it not just on my flickr but also on my blog. Yes, that’s right, the torch is shining. They turned it on for me.

Thus far, the number of photos in the US set has increased to 41, and I’m only like 4 days into the holiday. Somehow, I’m meant to survive 10 days starting next Monday with only 7GB worth of CF cards (2 or 3GB of which I don’t actually trust thanks to the curious incident of the CF card in Cambodia) and about 10 rolls of film. Keep in mind that this is me shooting in RAW (on the 30D anyway) which means basically that each picture is about 7-8MB in size.

Ho-hum. Hopefully the next few days when I cover Greenwich, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, East Village, Union Square Times Square (again), Chelsea galleries and Chelsea Market, and Central Park (the latter on Sunday when it’s actually gonna hit 15 degrees celsius!!! I know!! In WINTER in NY! Hah.) I’ll be all camera-ed out and then I’ll not run out of space nor have over 200 pictures to potentially lose in any one card assuming another “accident” with the stupid Lexar cards happens again. –bearhugs a tree Please don’t let it happen.

Ok I’m done rambling on about nothing in particular but I still have a few photos to upload – the stupid wireless that I’m stealing from some neighbour or other is MOTHERFUCKINGSLOW so I’m going to go.. I dunno, eat some cereal while I wait.

Pffffft.
