counter-inaugural protests should be interesting. I was all set to go get arrested at the inauguration (yeah, ok, I mean I thought about it), but then I started thinking that's maybe not the place. I mean, the evidence seems to be that this joker was more or less fairly elected, so making a big scene at his inaugural is going to do what? Anger those who voted for him maybe, confirm in their minds that they made the right decision, make Dems look like sore losers, etc. It just doesn't seem good. Other things could damage this administration more than protests, like if it squanders the opportunity now for middle east peace, or continues its head-in-the-sand environmental policies. See, hope does die last, doesn't it? Tech question: So obviously this shot is not great. W/out flash it was too dark and blurry, w/flash it was washed out and glarey. So I held my finger over the flash a little, causing the shadow at the top of the photo. I kind of liked it at first, but my question is: Is there a good way to diffuse a built-in flash, to reduce the glare but give the light? Can you hold a piece of thin fabric in front of the flash or something?
