The Lights Went Out!

All around my block

Imagine my shock while getting ready to upload a different picture than this when all the lights in the neighbood flicked off and my computer crashed! They stayed off for almost five hours. I helped the repair process by photograhing this man from the power company pulling cable. It was candlelight and flashlights here for a long time.

Obviously the lights finally came back on, and I got to upload this newer picture to demonstrate the use of my NEW Canon 50 mm f/1.8 "portrait" lens.

I like the curve of the cable spool.

Great photo. I'm not sure whether the look he is giving is a pose or a "clear off mate" look.

very interesting shot indeed . . and I agree with Robin on the cover shot. I'm sure these guys appreciated all your help . . with the camera. Couldn't have done it without you!

You made the most of the power failure - great shot! I love the pose and composition, I could picture this photo on the cover of the power company's annual report!
