A picture a day is a worthy, wonderful, awesome blog project.

But that's not what I'm going to do. :)

I already have a ton of pictures. I don't think I need to take more just to have them on a blog. So, I'm going to take a different approach. I'm going to post pictures I've already taken and tell the story behind them.

I love pictures. I love people. And I love writing. Hopefully, this will work out well for all of us.

My goal is to publish one post a day. Some of the posts will be long. (I am prone to verbosity, after-all.) Some of them will be short. My wish is that each picture-story will help me share the ongoing story that is my life.

That and you'll think I'm cool. :)

Day 174 - Me taking a Photo


So, my friend Chris and I went on a photo outing this past Saturday and we had a ton of fun and I learned some new tricks.  :) Chris, like my friend, Bob is a long-time photographer who mastered the art many years ago using film.  He has only recently plunged into digital SLR photography and I got to play with his camera and lenses a bit.  I now want a macro lens.  :)  

This shot was taken by him with my camera while I was trying to take pictures of this lovely moth using his.  I have the back of my hand resting on the fencepost in an *effort* to minimize my crazy hand shaking.  I'm always a shaker.  Boo. 

The first thing that struck me when I saw this picture was 'my gracious I have long fingers!'  Funny how different they look in a picture.  They don't look that long when I look down at my hand.  But I guess I'm used to looking down at them a lot.  They've been attached to me a long time.  :)

Yay for good friends and lovely weather and a beautiful burgundy moth.
