Review: Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps

Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps

I received my copy of Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps by Brian Anderson the other day. I ordered it months ago when I heard it was going to be produced. Brian Anderson is the creator, writer and artist of the web comic Dog Eat Doug. This book is full of colorful paintings of Doug and Sophie as they crash about the house avoiding going to sleep at night. The story is light but cute and the images are wonderful.

Photo-A-Day #1294

After the demonstrations today I went for a drive around Oswego. I was going to try and go directly to the lighthouse but the traffic getting over the bridge on Utica Street was pretty heavy so I took the turn the other way. I ended up driving to an open area next to Fort Ontario. There was a big opening in the fence so I scooted through to the railroad tracks. The sun was setting and it was directly in my way. I decided to use it and also use some leading techniques to get the Photo-A-Day today. I love how it turned out.

Tomorrow I head back home. I hope the weather is good because I also hope to take a side trip or two to take photos.
