It's kinnda funny how sometimes, you can't explain things in words. You just can't quite describe it, the words just don't fit it... but a picture does. Here's one of those times.

It's cold out (I almost forgot I had these shots... reminded through other photographers).

If you've been looking here a while, this is kinnda a re-occuring shot for me. I feel it always changes... always fun to look at. Last winter, and then this summer.

Backstory...
My uncle passed away in '97 when he was around 30.
He always had the attitude "You had a crappy year, I got you something nice."
So this Crystal ornament is from him to my Mom. He also had no immediate family, so his ornaments were divied through the extended family. We got the little sled with his name on it, so he can always be with the families on Christmas... watching over us. Lame, yes. Sappy? Horribly so. Heartwarming? Definately.

Turned out alright... a little less than I expected/hoped for.

"Back 'n' Black"
For everyone who has been checking and staying with the site, thank you, I needed to take some time off (by force, some catch-up time).

It feels great to be back. Finally, after about five hours of touching up the site, uploading pictures, editing pictures- I'm back. New camera, more motivation, rock 'n' roll guys.


For those who are interested in why I went AWOL, I'll try and sum it up.

For everyone who has been checking and staying with the site, thank you again. I need all the support I can get. Around August, my camera happened to take a fall onto the floor, putting it out of commission. Since then, I've had some issues focusing, finding out I got a little sand in the case, and the fact that the case was kinnda... cracked and broken.

I also have had a lot going on lately. Trying to stay up with running, music, friends/relationships, work the full nine yards. If you remember, I've also had some issues with daily updates. I started out strong, and then slowly fell behind. Since then I've realized, I can keep up with EVERYTHING, so I've readusted and life is better. As far as updates go, they should be at least once a week- most likely more.

So, a new camera has been bought, Fuji F10. It's definately tons of fun (as is any new toy). With the F10, I have a much wider range of shots and much more fun to say the least. So I'm back for good. I have about 70 shots ready to go, so I should be around for a while.
Thanks again!

Now I'm not much into taking personal shots of myself- given being a photographer- but in some recent shots, I've been pretty happy with the results. We'll see if it continues.

(Taken with the F700) As you can see, unless I wanted ALL of my shots DOF, I had to do something... on the other hand, it did make for a couple cool shots.

One of the best uses of paint.
