Chickens, ambulances, and surreality

2/23/12 – Look out below! The chickens love to roost on the screen door in the coop. They will ride it back and forth when you walk in.

2/24/12 – Cold, rain, streetlights. Another dose of surreality.

2/25 – Still in the camera, on film!

2/26/12 – Medic 9 and our BLS backup.

Project 366 – 39, 40, 41

I reached the end of the week feeling short on photographs, but a spin through the Photostream saved the day.

2/8 – I spent the day in the Training Division. The class was good, but the biggest thing I learned is that I can’t stand the commute. I haven’t had to do the 9-5 Boston commute in years, and I think I might become homicidal if I had to go back to it.

2/9 – Dog is still my copilot. Here comes the school bus!

2/10 – inspiration from above.

Project 366 – 2/5/12

ALS (P366 – 2/3)

2/3 – I’ve been enjoying black & white lately. This was done electronically, though.

Retro

As mentioned previously, I’ve been shooting a bit on real film. I learned photography on a manual 35mm camera, shooting and developing my own film. Sometimes it’s fun to go back.

January 12 – At the firehouse. You don’t see folding controls very often, but even when folded these barely clear the doors.

January 13 – ALS

Shot on a Nikon FM2 with 50mm manual lens. Thanks to OldSchoolPhotoLab.com for developing and scanning for me. Not many folks can handle Tmax 400 any more.

P366 – January 20

Sunrise over Econoline (P366 – 1/8/12)

January 8, 2012 – starting the shift early with tea & Toughbook in the ambulance bay.

Back to work (P366 1/1)

It has come to my attention that 2012 is a leap year, so welcome to Project 366.

I started the year back at work for 24 hours. It was a theme day, with multiple overdose calls. Here’s hoping that’s not the theme for the coming year.

Chevrons

Unlike many of my co-workers, I kind of like the new reflective Chevrons.

I like the way they make use of the company colors, but I do wish they were uniform among the trucks. Something about these two trips my OCD gene.

On an unrelated note, NRP predicts Adenosine for tomorrow’s shift. Time will tell.
