Overall was a pretty good summer. Some of the highlights include: our 7th wedding anniversary, horseback riding for Emma, 4th of July vacation at Myrtle Beach, a couple visits to Brookgreen Gardens, caught a lot of possums, Walter was 'fixed', went to a funeral in Chicago, and got a new Eee PC.
I've gotten into photography a lot more in the past year, and am slowly building up a portfolio of work. I'm not a total n00b, and have over 8 years experience, including college course work, special development processes, darkroom work, and so on. I've just never seriously been into it until Emma was born. Now I always have the camera out! If you are interested in some photography work, contact me.
Been trying to do some different stuff lately. Currently I'm working on close-up wildlife shots. But instead of using a high power lens, I find it's much easier to just catch the animal and put it in a light tent. I can control the lighting, the backdrop, and really anything else needed for a clean shot, and the critter can't get away until I'm done with it. So far I've had good results with possums.
