Where Were You When the Quake Hit DC?
As it happens, I was in the driveway taking photographs of the G&D; in the sun. Despite the fact that the house shook, I didn't even know it happened. I'd prepared for a full-bore shoot with my DSLR, even ready to take stacks of images for Helicon processing, but the blazing sun was threatening to melt everything—including and especially me! I'd about had it just getting the rolling stock on the track, so I grabbed my pocket camera and fired off a few quick random shots so I could escape back into the cool shade asap. It explains why I didn't even bother to reposition the rolling stock for the trestle views—I was racing against the clock before the layout suffered any real damage from Mr. Sun.
