Finally got to see DMB at the BOK Center. Since my SF trip was cancelled this was my only show this tour and it was a great show. A very mellow laid back show but I enjoyed myself. The crowd (at least those around me) seemed to be having a good time. The band had a lot of energy and overall it was good night. I was in row L on the floor which was a good view. Not a good view for taking photos: (DMB with Willie Nelson) But definitely a good view :) Today was a stay in... Continue reading

I have had my camera for a little more than two weeks. Since then I've taken 868 photos - that's more photos than I've taken the whole past year! Wow! That's not even counting the shots I would have if I hadn't forgotten my memory card - not once - twice! I'm so so so happy. Photo class starts Thursday! Continue reading

We had a quick little rain shower today which made the sky so beautiful and the lighting just perfect. Unfortunately, I didn't take the opportunity to take many pictures, aside from this one taken from my balcony. My little lovelies go crazy when we go outside.. so I had to settle for some inside shots. I realize this is my first post of one of the dogs but I seem to be favoring shots of Emma, not because she is my favorite but because she is an easier (not easy) target. I finished reading The Time Travler's Wife Am I... Continue reading

Rett has become the center of attention around here. We've scheduled several photo shoots with him as our model. Since he can't talk yet he can't complain and he does offer up the cutest little smile every once in a while. In other news, I had to cancel my trip to SF. My plane ticket was non-refundable which is turning out to be good news. Thinking of other possibilities. Continue reading

And I could not feel more like myself. Back to carrying the camera with me - everywhere. Snapping anything & everything. Love love love. Though I'm not sure the 50mm is good as my only lens. I need a wider angle. We'll see. Right after work I went to Laura's to wait on it. Of course it was probably the UPS man's last delivery (or at least I hope it was since it was so late). We went downtown in search of colorful buildings. I love seeing the world in a different way. I just don't think most people would... Continue reading

It's so hot outside. I'm hoping it will cool down a little so I can take the pups to the dog park. Wishing there was a dog pool. There's always too much trouble to get into at the lake. Otherwise I'll be anxiously awaiting this: and this: I had to sell my Rebel XT about a year ago. Having only a Canon Powershot SD 1000 my pictures have been few and far between. I have completely lost interest in photography and scrapbooking since then. In fact, I've been to San Francisco TWICE and have less than 50 pictures from both... Continue reading
