Playtime!

(I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past) |
Having a child is nice. It gives me an excuse to go to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum more often, and it allows me to enjoy playgrounds again ('cause you know people would be creeped out by a thirty-something guy hanging out at a playground by himself). Plus ... I'm getting more comfortable with shooting people. So far I've learned the real trick is just to shoot a ton of shots, and then hide the 98% of them that are absolutely awful. :-)
Yes, I do still shoot in color! I have really been enjoying shooting in B&W recently, though ... so much so that I forgot to remove the yellow filter from my camera, and I shot a bunch of color shots at this meeting using it. D'oh!
I shot this one at a higher ISO setting, so it's a bit on the grainy side. I'm hoping with my new slave flash, I'll be able to take better pictures of meetings and the like without having to resort to using ISO400+.
I've been using WordPress a long time. Well, perhaps more accurately you could say I've been using WordPress to host a blog that I generally ignore. In any case, I've decided to move my blogging over to Posterous. It's nice, simple, seems to work well ... and best of all, I don't have to maintain yet another web app. Since I spend the majority of my time *writing* web apps, that's really attractive to me right now.
Thank goodness it's easier to make this move than moving from one house to another.
This one is from our trip to the park two weeks ago. Rachel is using the old Kodak camera my parents gave me back in 2003 (I think). That is the camera that is responsible for me becoming a photo nut (again). It's a darn good camera too. If you look closely you can see that the grip is cracked, and it's scratched up pretty badly. It's been dropped down rocky embankments, dropped into water at least five times and more. Now that's what I call tough ...
I'm especially amazed at what the force of the water has done to the latter on the bridge pier in the background.
Figured I should try out this Posterous thing, since I'm supposed to be getting a site that I'm working on posting to it. Since I have nothing else of import to say, I'm going to just lead off with this picture I took, which is a personal favorite.

Yes, I copied that from my Twitter profile.
