Well Hurricane Ike is long gone. There is still no power in our neighborhood, but we fared well and are now using a generator provided by a friend who had had his power restored. The only damage to my house was the loss of a single fence board. My mother, who thankfully was with us, has lost everything. She lived on Galveston Island and from reports had 4 foot of water in her apartment. The island was opened to residents on Wednesday. We are going tomorrow for our first look. You bet I'll have my Pentax with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the many that have lost so much more. My thanks to those who have worked and are still working to restore power and to those who came to the aid of their neighbors in these times.
So here is part of my experience in pictures. All photos were taken with the K200D and the 18-55 II to the best of my recollection. Everything was shot in jpg and just re sized.
Thanks for bearing with me for this long post.
