It’s the end of an era!

The vast majority of my photography gear is packed up and will soon be on it’s way to Virginia. I’m having mixed feelings about it.  Since moving to ND, I just don’t have the photography opportunities I used to, or I don’t have the time. Lately, though, it’s been that I don’t have the inclination. [...]

Blubbering Idiot

It’s Friday the 13th and the day started out like a typical Friday the 13th, including over sleeping and being a bit late for work. Here is where the blubbering idiot part comes in.  I stopped to pick up the mail because I knew I had a bunch of new books waiting for me…that, in [...]

It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Winter!

OK…after several requests I dragged my butt outside with my phone camera to take a picture of the house under it’s blanket of snow. I didn’t want to haul out my “good” camera cuz it was snowing and I’m a tad bit paranoid about my equipment getting the least bit damp…so this crappy picture will [...]

I am auditioning…

I’ve got an “audition”…not quite sure what to call it…for a local weekly newspaper.  I will be writing and photographing local high school sports for Mott and Regent.  If they like what I submit, then I may have a job. Initially they wanted me to cover the Mott Varsity football game tomorrow but Brian and [...]

Moto X Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!

The Hettinger County Fairgrounds had a Moto Cross “Derby” (not quite sure what to call it) on Sunday. I’d been anxious to go and play with the camera. I have not had any opportunities to push my and the camera’s limits in this kind of “fast-paced” environment. IT WAS FUN!!! My 100-400mm L lens was [...]

Blogging Frustration

Those of you reading this probably already know that I love my baby brother!!  I mean, just outright adore him!  That was not the case when we were young and stupid and lived together under our parent’s roof.  But know that we are separated by over 1000 miles, I can really appreciate his wit and [...]

Take Someone Special to School Day

Today was the annual “Take Someone Special to School” day the PTA puts on.  This year, since Daddy is in a new job, he couldn’t go like he normally does.  So David invited Mimi and Gigi. Mimi was able to come, even with the early hour.  Breakfast in the Multi-Purpose Room started at 7:30 and [...]

My Christmas Pendant

Here is the Christmas Pendant I made for myself.  I still need to run some ribbon through the top of it…but this was my first attempt at soldering! Scary! LOL I’ve had some glass slides in various sizes for eons…never opened them let alone used them for anything.  I saw some soldered jewelry somewhere and [...]

Playboy in da house!

I’m putting on my flame-retardant suit for this post. Brian’s birthday subscription to Playboy arrived today.  He would be mortified that I am writing about this on my blog…but he doesn’t read my blog…so what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.  Kenny, I know you will be on the phone to him as soon as [...]

Pet Portraits

Had the opportunity to “play” in the “Studio” earlier today and am just now getting around to downloading the images. Shooting the dogs (not literally-LOL) has to be the hardest.  Scooby (brown guy on the left) will actually listen to me…for short periods of time!  Daphne (little black devil dog below) doesn’t listen at all [...]
