That&#8217;s all so far. I think (I hope) we live far enough inland that we won&#8217;t get too much excitement from Irene. The main problem will be that we have a lot of old trees and even a little bit of wind usually causes branches to fall onto power lines somewhere knocking our power out. Bleh! I hate that. I really NEED my electricity, you know?<\/p>\n<p>My older kids&#8217; school has already canceled classes on Monday &#8212; unless conditions have improved. It all seems a bit too hyped to me.<\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for Inspiration<\/em><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been thinking about what I would do next for the 365. I&#8217;d like to challenge myself in another area that I haven&#8217;t really explored and was starting to narrow it down to street photography. Or as close as I can get while firmly entrenched in the suburbs &#8211;no gritty urban snaps of decay and decadence&#8230; : ) It will probably end up being more like &#8220;photography in public places&#8221; than what would be called &#8220;street.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, I had the wonderful experience of finding several resources just fall into my lap!

I&#8217;m not sure I agree 100% with his approach of surprising people but I definitely learned some very good tips.
