Dallas Morning

I just so happened to have my camera with me - and on (I know, big deal), when walking into work.  The weather was cold(ish).  It wasn't nearly as bad as my ex-Ohio counterparts, but you know, mid 40s.  Anyway, took this picture near my building.  The giant odd looking thing is this huge sculpture made out of iron and what not...

Been Too Long

And I apologize, life has been crazy - still hasn't calmed down, yet - but soon, hopefully.  Looking like maybe February, but I doubt it, haha.

Anyway - a lot has happened since, I guess May when I last posted, married, moved to a different state, got a new job, tax season is going to be interesting this year...

Ah well - some new things I've worked on - only sparingly, and not some of my best work, but I needed a new outlet and something new to update.  So here goes...




I bought my hard working, very deserving wife some red soled shoes, to those in the know, I know - to those who don't know, google - either way, she was stunned and could not believe it!



We also got her a DVF dress - thing looks downright amazing on her, and the colors/design is spot on!

And lastly for this post is from thanksgiving.  Top Chef contestant and wife to Mr.Army invited us down to their place and she made the turkey with the wife making the stuffing.  The picture does not do the food justice - it was superb!

Sunrise and glistening grass...


Caution tape caught in a tree


Created a heart shaped shadow from my wedding band in the Spanish book we were given (I can't read most of it - sorry Mom, I know I took 4 years of Spanish, haha) that explains marriage responsibilities and stuff...

Day 119 of 365

In the elevator goofing off, haha...



Went to the asian restaurant - got the drink special of the day and a glass of wine..colors were pretty



Yes, I did try sushi..









Now this was a very interesting experiment that I tried. I left the shutter open for like 20 seconds or something to get the background lights exposed properly - then used my flash's pilot light (just a really intense quick burst flash) and bounced the light off the floor to very quickly super expose "R"...a few trial and errors but I figured it out...

Day 116 of 365

We got a lot of sun the day before - haha, so we called it quits early - but we are just sitting in the lobby bar - that drink, was coffee and amaretto, amazing!




Look at the concentration in those eyes...haha, she still missed the shot



Got all cleaned up before dinner and I started experimenting again with the tripod and remote shutter..











(not really photo of the day if I upload 12, huh? haha)

Day 115 of 365

Lots of pretty things, some good pictures of "R" and myself...I'll just show em'






Two of us - remote shutter used and tripod - haha, had a lot of these (and a lot of mess ups trying it this way!)









I absolutely LOVE this one...lighting was good - "R" is getting some color (from the sun)...love it!
