I used to be really anal about updating my online journals and blogs. In fact I have had a livejournal account since 2003 and I have updated several times a week since first opening the account. Back then you could only have a livejournal account by someone sending you a invite or by paying for it. Now its free and anyone can have one. But lately I am lucky if I update it once a month. I have an xanga account to, but rarely ever update it. And then there is this. Prob
ably my favorite of the three but I can't convince others to create accounts here. Anyways, I have been practicing with the new camera some. Trying to go out on the weekends and just take a bunch of pictures. I am slowly (very slowly) learning what to do and what not to do. I'm very impatient by nature and so that makes it frustrating sometimes. A guy that Brian works with who does some photography on the side wants us to go out with him sometime and he is going to teach me some things. Should be fun. I love doing stuff like that! Anyways, the pictures I have posted with this entry are from the NC Museum of Art, they have 164 acres with trails and all kinds of sculptures. I want to explore it all but it was just WAY too hot yesterday to do that!

Fantastic! You gave me just enough of a glimpse to wonder what the whole scene was--that's a great technique. When hubby and I lived in Redondo Beach, we used to go to the beach to watch the sun set. It was truly amazing. He'd take shots into the sunset, blah, blah, blah. One time, I said, "turn around, take a shot of the reaction to the sunset." He was like "what do you mean?"
He turned and looked up and saw the sunset reflecting on my glasses, me smiling happily at the glow, and my skin awash in peach light, and then the windows of the huge beach houses were all glass fronts reflecting the same sunset. The others stood on the beach with sunglasses looking at it setting and it reflected on their glasses and skin too. It was one of the best shots he ever took. Now, he doesn't just look at the main subject, he looks for how it affects everything else. Good luck! Can't wait to see your pic's.
