Slooow shutter speed

It's funny how when you look back in life, that certain inconvenience wasn't as hard as you though it was. So I guess I'll take it slow...For example, back in Corvallis, Monroe was "it". Everything was close by, you didn't need to walk that far, there just weren't any other possible options. Now living up in the greater Portland area (I know, always comparing...), it's almost required to drive 30+ minutes to gather with friends. What a refreshing night to get up and walk to places I never would have considered.
