  • Happy First Year

    This past Tuesday was the one year anniversary for this blog, and it sure has changed in one year, as have I. I’ve managed to get the post count up, and I hope work up to posting almost every day. I wanted to take this opportunity to mention some of the other things I’ve been…

  • My New Toy

    Yesterday afternoon I finally went out and got a new Canon EOS 50D. I decided to go with the kit EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens as it was only an additional $200 (the lens sells on it’s own for around $450), and I could use an updated zoom. The lens is heavy, but the…

  • Holding on to Fall

    Autumn is my favorite season and it always seems to go by too fast. This year was no different. While I recognize that the leaves started to change at the end of August here, it still makes me sad that for the most part, the leaves have changed and fallen and winter is on it’s…

    I got my first roll of color film back from the shop today and I’m thrilled to be able to start posting pics from my Rebel 2000 SLR. I’ve owned the camera since college and I’m really glad I finally know how to use it! I’m still figuring some things out, like getting the right…

They are partnered with Flickr, so they automatically allow you to import photos from your flickrstream to make the…

  • It’s All in the Details

    Last night in my photography class we worked on printing and I made my first print!  Woohoo!  Going into this class I had no idea how involved it would be.  I thought that all the work was in the taking of the picture, but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg. We started out…

  • Into the Wild

    Into the Wild is one of my favorite books, by one of my favorite authors, Jon Krakauer.  It tells the story of Chris McCandless, a young man who, after graduating college, hit the road as a drifter and adventurer with the ultimate dream of surviving in the Alaskan wilds.  The book began as a story…

  • The Helmet Carrier

    I don’t understand this phenomenon.  I’ve heard stories about people riding bikes with their helmets strapped to their racks or hung around their handlebars, and I always thought it was strange, but it wasn’t until I saw a man riding like this today that it really got to me. The man looked to be in…
