Cody Duncan Photography: Travel, Landscape, Climbing and Life

Nice day on Sunday, so what better way to spend part of the day at a German Volksfest.

Historic note: The large building in the background is the old Nazi congress hall. The largest building remaining from that era and is part of the larger complex of the Reichsparteitagsgelände (nazi party rally grounds)

…That it is supposed to be spring!

Good times once again in Baja. A couple photos for now. More coming in the next days; 3000 to edit…

Dangers of the desert: the wonderful experience of pulling Cholla thorns.

Entertainment for the entertainment.

Baja 250 coming up next week (March 14-15), so I’m heading down to San Felipe tomorrow to shoot a story about an all female race team (more later) and help with the pre-run of the course during the week. Should be a good times…

I understand that the high interest rates you charge, compounded by the average American’s massive amount of personal debt means that you earn more money than I can imagine. Now I also understand that you like to spend this money chopping down lots of trees and printing with toxic inks to send me lots of letters in the mail so that I can make you more money. Now, I understand this is a two way street; you put a couple bucks in my wallet that I don’t really have and I’ll write you the deed to my soul. Good, cool, fine.

But, Please don’t tell me that I have been ‘pre-approved’ when I haven’t actually been ‘pre-approved.’ Back when I actually needed a credit card, I was never approved, despite the fact that you told me I was pre-approved. False advertising. Calling my lawyer right now. Hope he takes Visa.

Second, if you are trying to market your card as some sort of ‘travel’ card and give it some fancy name like ‘explorer,’ ‘world card,’ ‘travel plus,’ etc. Then I don’t want to see that stupid 3% tax, oops, I mean ‘foreign currency exchange fee’ when I read the fine print. Presumably a ‘travel’ card would be used for just that, travel. So why would I want to add an extra 3% tax after already paying the obscene taxes which often exist abroad. Maybe your just hoping that I don’t/can’t read…

So, quit chopping down trees and filling my mailbox with stuff that you wont actually give me!

…On soon to be imported German chocolate and assorted sweets. It’ll all be in my carry-on, so lets hope it doesn’t get eaten in my 20 hours of travel between Auerbach and Santa Barbara. I’ll have half a dozen Aldi pretzels fresh out of the oven to keep my stomach full, so it should all make it. No promises though.

Can hardly believe I’ve been here in Germany nearly three weeks and tomorrow it is already time to go home again.

Took this while on the roof in 50-60mph winds. 10 stops of neutral density for a 30 second daylight exposure. Not the most technically perfect shot, but gives a good mood for this past weekends weather… Bad weather is still a novelty for me, I guess I’m a bit spoiled…
