Day 34

Nose Smudges on my Jeep windows make me happy. Yup. If the dog hair covering every iota of space, new scratches on the leather despite our trying to cover it (sorry mom!) and the slobber on the arm/rest console didn't give it away, let me state the obvious. I love that our dogs go everywhere in the Jeep with us! Nose smudges are happy smudges.


On a different note, apparently the Chinese Food place requires 24 hour access to their back door. I didn't say it. They did. (sorry mom, again.)


What do you do while waiting in the car for your husband to get dinner out to ya? ;)

Day 33

Lilly: "I want to go get Uncle J all by myself!"

Me: "Oh yeah? Who's going to drive the car? You?"

Lilly: "No!!" Laughter.

Me: "Lexie?"

Lilly: "No!" More laughter.

Me: "Max?!"

Lilly: "NO!! Max has no hands!!!"


Hilarious.

Day 28

Dave and Alicia taught me tons last Saturday. Too much for one post. Besides, I didn't want to take away from that giant, giggle inducing tree stump named Conan.Muscley Barbarians aside, I did learn how to compensate when the background of my shot has more light than the subject in the foreground. Very useful given the amount of shots that I've taken that have been completely ruined by shadows.

It's a technique that can take a shot from this


to this

From this

Again, maybe not terribly exciting in these basic practice shots, but something that I cannot wait to put to use.

Ah so empowering this learning thing is :)
