I’m able to ‘sort of’ walk again as this one publishes, albeit with a ‘walking boot’ sort of brace. Since the cast for my broken ankle came off a couple of weeks ago, every day has seen me doing something that would’ve been impossible just a 48 hours earlier.

These archive posts are reaching into Newtown Pentacle’s backups, and are pulling posts that went public on this date, in their respective years, going back to 2009. This practice will continue until I’m back on both feet full time, and new photos and stories can be gathered. For anyone who hasn’t heard the news, I broke my left ankle at the end of September.

It’s nice to recognize the guy in the bathroom mirror again, I tell’s ya. I was looking wild, with two months worth of gray wool sticking out of my head.

As a note, it’s Veteran’s Day and I’m going to be missing all of the PA parades this year. Looking forward to waving the camera around again. This walking boot produces a fairly severe limp, due to its static bracing of the ankle and calf, so wherever I end up taking the camera to it’s going to a ‘stand or sit around’ rather than ‘photowalk’ sort of situation.
Finally, this post from 2020 dubbed ‘darkly probable,’ discusses walking a tripod/camera setup around Queens Plaza at night.
