Eastman and I had a date this morning. We would enjoy each other's company at The Wolf Camera store from 10:30 to 12:30. Together, we would intensively train on how to allow more light into him, thus producing a higher quality photo.
Jason got called to work this morning. He will continue his plight to negotiate with the unions on behalf of AT&T until a resolution is reached.
Eastman and I no longer have a date this morning.
I finally named him late last week.
In honor of Kodak.
We need to recognize and appreciate all that the failing company has contributed to the world of photography. They missed the digital revolution by a mere 6 months, which in product life cycle time is a generation.
The have never been able to close the gap.
Yesterday it was reported that the institution tripled its losses to $353M this first quarter.
Haven't we all missed the boat once or twice?
After last Saturday's overwhelming session regarding aperture and shutter speed I couldn't pick him up for 2 days. I was paralyzed with my expectations of perfectionism and if I couldn't take a somewhat decent picture I didn't want to play in the sandbox at all.
Nice. And very mature.
Eventually I roped the thick strap around my neck, assumed my position and brought him on a walk with the girls and I. We ran into, not over the reptile you see featured above. She was displaced and looking for a new home as construction begins on Sophia's new school. It was a devastating choice to cross the street at that moment, I suppose.
I secured the girls on the sidewalk and entered the street to photograph him.
Yes, I laid down in the middle of the street... eye to eye with the deceased serpent.
It was a cloudy day and I've since learned that I will need additional fancy gadgets to let the most light in. I also learned that he was a Fox snake and not venomous, but that he will strike.
In the time that I have been composing this blog, Sophia has approached me multiple times with requests for 100 calorie count chips, gummies and juice boxes.
The only time I am subjected to these unhealthy requests are when I am blogging or on my cell phone.
Are you, too, a victim in your own home?
Ewww! You are truly a Texan now that you've laid on the ground near a snake. That's true dedication to your budding hobby.
ReplyDeleteI have to scroll down really fast so I don't stare at that snake. Grosses me out, yet I can't stop looking!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you are learning about how to use the camera! I know nothing about ours yet use it nearly every single day. :)
Ewwww!!! I am in shock that you took a picture of that snake! It is great you are learning how to use your camera--I got mine and took it out of the box and started snapping LOL!! When you are here in a few weeks you can teach me how to use my camera too. Plus maybe you can get some tips from the photographer when we do the girls photo shoot!!
