I spent this past Sunday in a computer lab on the University of Hawaii, Manoa campus. It was a whole day to learn Lightroom 2.1 and otherwise escape from life and be my old self again. I loved it. Maybe too much. The Pacific New Media class was advertised as Intro to Lightroom with no prerequisites, but the instructor taught as if Photoshop was a prerequisite. This wasn’t ideal for me but I learned a lot anyway.
The shot above is one I did a little doctoring to after coming home from the class. I snapped it last June near Robbie’s school, which sits on a decommissioned Navy air base. I don’t know the era of this old hangar, easily Vietnam, maybe older. Since this was taken, I’ve since driven by and one of the doors was kicked in, revealing forgotten junk inside and looking even older.

My Thanksgiving shopping is done. If I don’t have it in the fridge or cupboard by now, I’m going to have to make do without it. I made the cranberry sauce last night; will make the pumpkin pie and cut fruit for a fruit salad later today. I’ll also prep the rest of the stuff for tomorrow, everything but the turkey which I'm not doing. Happy Thanksgiving to me!

i am glad you got to take the class - I would like to do that some day as well. Patrick took at UCSD for 3 months a film and darkroom class and has really improved. Of course he also spent the money making a darkroom in his garage and now declares he is too snobby for digital- although he has like 10 cameras - - huh??? :P
