Mr. Hollywood

Charley is not much of a performer. He has this Feather ball toy that he goes absolutely wild for - he'll play with the thing for hours! Funny how as soon as I try to video it, he goes back to his little Amish-in-front-of-the-camera ways! Anyway, here's some quick video where for a brief second you get the idea about how he drags it around and scoots on his back after it! I'm trying to get some more wild footage, it's just too funny not to get on file! Also we're trying to get him when he sings in the shower, but more on that later!

3 years since settlement!

Three years ago today, Duane and I settled on our first home - a brand new townhouse! Can you believe I still have boxes of crap that I haven't unpacked yet?! Here are some pics from the building by THP.

Academy of Natural Sciences - A bust!

We had won tickets to the Academy of Natural Sciences last summer and finally decided to turn them in. I was excited and expecting to find lots of things to practice photographing. I quickly learned why Duane wasn't too excited to be making the trip - let's just say that it wasn't what I expected. Think lots of bones and dead, stuffed animals behind dirty glass. There was a Live Butterfly exhibit that you walked through which was nice but it was so darn hot and humid in there, my camera fogged up immediately and I was sweating too much before it cleared up! It was nice to visit but I kind of don't think we'll be going back :) Although pretty crappy, here are a few pictures I got...








And today, I got some funny pictures of my captive subject, Charley (I think he was a little annoyed at me for snapping these, what do you think?!):

A few late practice Christmas shots...

Here are a few pics I captured while practicing with my camera and new lens over the Christmas holiday. Enjoy!

^Our stockings

^Love the DOF I can get with my new lens!
We got this ornament while on our honeymoon in Mexico. Not sure why it doesn't look as crisp here as it does in Photoshop...

^Love the DOF I can get with my new lens! Aww, it's a bride and groom ornament! Having the same crisp issue with this one too...


And of course, a few of the little guy, Charley...

Have you seen this site...

I Can Has Cheezburger? When I first was introduced to this website I didn't think it could beat Stuff on My Cat but now I can't get over how much more funny it is! It has a language of its own, kind of like phonetics, that is added to regular silly pictures, most times of cats, sometimes other animals, and just has the funniest writers. Check it out if you like these samples...
