Blur of light

Went out tonight with camera gear in tow. After going to the St. Louis Science Center this afternoon with the kids and my mom I came back home and crashed for about 2.5 hours (I think). Don't know what happened. Is it possible I'm still getting used to everything here? Maybe.

I like the abstract image I captured tonight. It's a long'ish exposure of some cars passing by on a nearby road. I was standing there practicing panning techniques and grabbed a few fun, wacked-out images like the one above. They're fun and easy. Interestingly, it's a great symbol of what I'm feeling right now...like everything's sort of a dizzying array of lights, buzzing all around me. No, I'm not high! Haha!

There's a lot going on...and at the same time it's sort of strange that we don't "professionally" have anything to do for the time being. Don't really know how to explain it. I just think it's going to take a bit more time to get the hang of life here again. Bizarre feeling. In no way did I think we'd have to readjust to American life. And not to over-exaggerate...we're not all freaked out or anything. It's just different.
