Not bad. This was out my window and that helicopter was pretty far away, relatively speaking. But what is that thing on the front??
I love helicopters. Too bad they seem less forgiving when it comes to crashes.
Today: More camera learn-age, writing a behind-the-scenes type thing for my publisher, gym, house-cleaning, Olympics-watching, spending way too much time online doing nothing terribly important. Oh life. Am I squandering you? Maybe I should start looking at the music my choir is going to be doing this season?
Your helicopter looks like it has a nose-mounted camera – a Tyler Nose Mount it’s called. Probably an ad agency assignment or a surveillance run by an agency that would like to go unnamed. Does look a little sinister.
Oh, a camera makes sense. Maybe it’s one of those news traffic copters.
