Yes, it was very good exposure. The fellow talked about the value of shake reduction for using long lenses at sporting events.
What was I doing watching the Today show on New Year's morning? Remember the snow photos I posted last Friday? That was the start of a 50-year snow event for the Albuquerque area. There have been repeated power outages as tree branches break and bring down power lines. This morning, about 4:30, it was our turn. I got up, built up the fire, got dressed, and went out to an outbuilding to wrap an old bathrobe around our pipes (which are normally heated by infrared lamps). Power was restored in a couple of hours, and the pipes appear to have survived. Other people in this area have been without power since Saturday. Interstate 40 between here and the Texas state line has been intermittently closed since Friday night. At times there have been lines of semis backed up for miles. If you are heading east, once you commit to driving through Albuquerque, there are no good alternate routes short of driving several hundred miles to the south. Truckers have been sitting and losing money for hours at a time. I saw one fellow interviewed last night who had been waiting in his truck for two days. The airport has been either closed or backed up for the same period. Considering that this was a rare storm, local officials and the electric company crews have been doing well.
