* I tried to do one of those photoshoots of my packing like are popular on some parts of the internet, but it turned out really bad. I'll try again for future trips.
* I love framed shots and tried to do more tree-y shots the express what it's like to be at the canyon, but they mostly didn't work. The canyon being clear made it look small and close. Making it less clear meant a blurry focal point. If I went again I'd use one of those poles to get more angles. I did have a monopod and it was worth the hassle, but I'd need a bigger, heavier spendier ones for some of the shots I'd like ... especially since I am not getting stupid close to that edge.
This was the best of the attempts:
* I wrote an article on taking pictures from trains that I am going to post on Imzy, and later on my website once I bother to get one.
(Update: RIP Imzy. Here is the rail photography gallery on my website.)
* Is just a wordpress site still the best for making a site about things? I've looked at some of those new website creation services places and sort of hate the themes available. So I am thinking wordpress, find a good host and a good domain name buying type site. I am out of many loops and hate futzing with things. I'd just go with Squarespace except, yeah, hate the layouts.
* There is a graveyard in Grand Canyon National Park, just a bit back from the rim. I did not expect to run into a graveyard while I was wandering:
That is all the odds and ends I can think of.
