I'm starting to spend more time learning photography...meaning I'm actually paying attention to what I'm doing. I'm not one to sit down with a manual or 'How To' book and read it. I have more fun reverse engineering trying to recreate what I see. I'm attached to the Canon DSLR brands. I have a Rebel XT and now an XSI and gradually moving to better quality lenses.

I'm also learning how to use Photoshop. It annoyed me to being with, but it is growing on me.

My personality will come out in my photos at times. I tend to see the funny things in life. The serious/professional part is the 8 to 5 routine as the professional accountant. This is the break in that to have some fun and tinker a bit with an art. (I look serious here as the friggin studio light was blinding me!)

Feel free to look around. Comments are welcome.

Too busy lately to pick up my camera. Have the ideas...just not enough time.

Building our house is coming along. First floor is framed. 2nd floor is going up. Garage will be next so they can finish the 2nd floor. We've picked out the exterior colors and onto the interior stuff. Only about 9 months behind...could have birthed another kid by now. Wait. Not a good thought...that's why we needed a new house in the first place! Not enough space for the 4 we have!

Distracted with reading now. Rarely pick up a book since I finished my professional degree about 8 years ago. I usually read when I fly a few times a year. Bought an ebook "ereader" when I was in the US a few weeks back. Customs passed us right through and I didn't have to pay duty or tax on it...plus our dollar is strong so I pretty much got it at par....and cheaper than in la la land here. Got the Sony touch screen version. Read a number of books now. It's not a bad little gadget!

....I need to pick up my camera soon.

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem. ~Alexander Jodorowsky
