Apologies I've been away. I've tried to keep myself up to date-- but I'd rather post nothing than something worthless... so I went shooting. I'll try to be back more frequently than Weekly. Well all I know is my site-meter is still rising, so someone is comming. Thanks for comming and commenting.

Fool in the rain. That pretty much sums it up for my last shooting; fun like no other.

I don't usually double post, but It wouldn't really make sense to post this tomorrow.

Kalo Pascha! a.k.a. Happy Easter! No, I'm not a week late. Read on-- it's worth it :-)

I went out to this Greek Restaurant tonight, and apparently it was the Greek Easter, so they gave us eggs. Then they explained it...

Each player holds an egg, and one taps her/his egg against the other player's egg. The goal: crack the opponent's egg. Then we took the winners of the three 'matches' and went up against eachoter. Whoever successfully cracks the eggs of the other players is declared the winner and, it is said, will have good luck during the year.

I won, and I got to keep an egg with way cooler dye than any other I've seen. I guess that means my luck is gonna start to turn around--Despite me not being Greek or really religious at all. Either way, that's defiantely a good thing for me.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much... or up to date with blogs almost what-so-ever. I haven't been shooting for a while and I definately need to... even more so that I'm running out of shots. I will, knock on wood, be back soon.

Anyway, here's a little fun shot I pulled off. Nothing I couldn't do without photoshop, just a little fun.

My winter. Yeah, it's kinndaa repost... but I just love it. I just... love it :-)

Snow does some amazing things... and yes I still miss it. I figured this shot would be kinnda confusing (what is it?), so look below for a little help. I was really lucky in finding this... Nature leaves me dumbfounded sometimes.

I'm not really into the whole 'hippy nature thing' or else I would have a Nikon--Calvin thinks Nikon users are kinnda hippies, not that it's a bad thing, I'm just poking fun-- I defer, nature is sometimes just... remarkable.

A boy and his dog

I had some pretty big issues with this in post process. Since he has very shallowly engraved facial characteristics (i.e. eyes, hair, smile), it was hard bringing them out with the sephia tone. So it was tough... but here's what I got, and I still like it.

I wasn't really even planning on posting any Peanuts pictures... especially not this one. I just too sappy though. I watched a whole movie with my dog (45 pounds maybe?) on my lap in my chair, and she never does that. Then I stumbled across this picture, and my heart just melts at that kinnda stuff; "So Sen-sa-tive!"

Health update, I'm at about 75% now, which is much better than the days past. I'm so close to getting around to blogs again but I still gotta play catch-up on everything else. I'm so anxious for some killer shots...

Took another shot of this here. I always like more angles because they always tell different stories.

Sorry I'm still pretty dang sick. I wanna say I'll be back on everyone's blogs tomorrow. Sorry for missing out... time to play catchup.

I apolgize for not being able to keep up with everyones photoblogs, I happen to be as sick as a dog. Hope everyone ELSE is doing better than I am. I'll be better tomorrow, knock on wood.

I can't remember the number, but one of my teachers once told me "National Geographic photographers take upward of one thousand pictures. Usually, they get three or four pictures from their trips."

Just some advice I think most every photographer should heed to-- mostly myself :-P

Queen with Paul Rodgers about two weeks ago. It was defiantely a nice show, but not the same without Freddy Mercury. They did a nice cameo-memento cross by playing footage of him playing bohemian rhapsody which was really cool I thought--because if you know anything about Queen, nobody but Mercury could even start to do the song justice.

Look both ways.

Looks like I was comming back tuesday, not sunday. I guess I was in a bit of a rush on my last post and wasn't paying a whole lot of attention.

Turns out I didn't manage to get a shot of anything in Idaho, I was too busy on the slopes. It was either A. Bring my camera and take it really easy down the runs, or B. Go all out and leave the camera.

As it turns out, blizzard-like conditions aren't very good for cameras anyway.

What I get from this picture: Remember to look both ways; yes that was metaphorical.
