"Embrace the Rain"
http://blog.doppler-photo.net/2016/11/embrace-rain.html
The sun shone as we found our way to the Treasure Island Music Festival shuttle buses, but dark clouds loomed in the distance. Soon enough, sun would give way to rain.

As we walked, I explained my perspective on biking in the rain — after a long enough ride, you end up wet regardless. Either with sweat, if you don a fully waterproof outfit, or with rain, if you don't. So eventually, it makes sense to focus on staying comfortable rather than staying dry. And it's a small mental switch, but once it happens, you feel like you can embrace the rain, instead of just hiding from it.

It's surprising how much your perception can change when you see something from a different perspective…

* First, you make your bed… (Timber! part 2) *
http://blog.doppler-photo.net/2016/10/first-you-make-your-bed-timber-part-2.html
Part one of this series showed how Matt (the professional arborist in the picture) moved himself and his tools around the tree. Once he had the tools where they needed to be, it was time to put them to work: the next step was to trim the remaining branches, and to arrange them on the ground so as to create a reasonably soft drop zone for the logs that would eventually follow.

The process of trimming the branches (and dragging them into position) was straightforward, but included some unexpected nuances. Our standing orders were to never approach the tree until Matt gave the all-clear.

First things first, he would cut off a branch. Easy enough…

I don't recall when I heard my first Sigur Rós song, Untitled #1 (Vaka), but I know that every now and again it drifts back into mind, and I listen again, if only to relive those in the present of my life.

*Timber! How to navigate a tree*
http://blog.doppler-photo.net/2016/09/timber-how-to-navigate-tree.html

Imagine you want to cut down a single, very tall tree. How does it work? How do you do it safely, without damaging surrounding trees, and in a way that allows the lumber to be put to use when all is said and done?

When the opportunity to witness just such an adventure came across my radar, I jumped on it. I've always enjoyed watching people work, and this was a great chance to see someone work in a way that was completely different from what I'm used to…

* Eager (Stories from the 25, part 6) *
http://blog.doppler-photo.net/2016/08/eager-stories-from-25-part-6.html
There's a saying (commonly misattributed to Winston Churchill) that a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, and an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. I was reminded of that saying when I spoke with A.J. Singh (far right, in picture) about eagerness in motorsports, 8 hours after his team's car was retired due to a major fire in the engine compartment. Here's what he had to say…
