Then and now

Then and now by KAP Cris.
I went down the Berkeley waterfront yesterday to shoot the Interim Solar Calendar at the Cesar Chavez Memorial. As I rigged up in the lee of a small hill (winds were tooting at over 20 mph) I suddenly remembered that this was the exact spot where I took my first KAP photo 13 years ago. So, here is that first photo and one as I fired a similar test shot yesterday.

While it looks like I am holding up reasonably well, the picnic benches actually seem to have improved over time (ok, on close inspection it looks like they are different benches which prompts a cascade of existential questions).

A place that changed your life. I know that KAP has been a very important activity for you for those 13 years and I see you have a new hat. Life is good.

I could believe from the expressions on your face that you were asking existential questions both times. Great piece of history!

Your new transmitter matches your new hat, too.

Nice two shots, Cris. When I look at you in the upper picture you seem to try to control the rig with your body. That's difficult, isn't it :o) ?
