I've changed up the design of the 'gallery' pages a tiny bit, and updated the 'about me' page with info about my Pentacon Six camera.

I've also updated the gallery with pics from all recent photoshoots, including the first pics from my P6!

I got a new 6x6 medium format camera in the mail! It's a Pentacon Six, and it's sweet as heck!! It's not a TLR like my Ikoflex is, this one is shaped like an SLR, but it's medium format. I looking forward to using it bigtime!

Today, for the first time ever, I've been able to get macro shots of the grey squirrels that frequent our place!!! I can't believe it!! I've gotten macros of the little brown squirrel, and the ultra scary black one, but never ever the grey one. They never let you get close enough to do it. However, I've figured out the trick that WILL let you get close to them! The trick is this... when they're hurting for food, and are waiting impatiently for you to go and put some nuts out for them, they're not QUITE as skittish as usual. But you need to move VERY slowly, and try not to look them in the eye too much :). I will update the gallery with the highlights soon!

I've finally updated the gallery with all photoshoots done since February. I'm expecting a coworker to visit my site within the next little while, so I really wanted to make sure it was updated at the very least for her. There's still some panoramas that I haven't put up yet, but those can wait.

We went to Duluth for the weekend a few weeks ago, and just got back from our yearly camping trip last weekend. I got some great photos from both trips!! I'm still stuck at Sears, the curse is still in effect :(. We got some new people that will be working in Men's Wear and Shoes, so far they are doing alright, but I still worry about their future if they are influenced too much by my coworkers...

I'm obviously getting behind with posting new photos in the gallery. I don't know when that will be rectified, hopefully soon.

I've gone to the dark side and opened up a Flickr account a little while back. If you want to look at it (but what's the point, all the pics are here...), it's here . I really didn't want to do it, and the ONLY reason I did was for the exposure to people here in town, though it hasn't really made any difference. Work's the same, everything else is the same. I'll update the gallery with some new sets soon!

I got my butt in gear and updated the gallery with sets that were leftover from December, plus I added the TLR set from camp this past summer, and SLR set from Christmas, and a new set from this past Thursday! Lots to look at :). Enjoy!

Hey! I hope you all had a nice xmas!! I enjoyed mine... I got Christmas Eve AND Boxing Day off, so that's 3 days off in a row :). Everyone enjoyed what I got them, and I enjoyed what I recieved too, so everyone's happy! I didn't take that many xmas pictures this year, though I did take 1 roll of film of mostly birds and squirrels, so we'll see how that turned out.

Here's what's new :) :

- New sets added to the gallery, including a new SLR section.

- Got an old Canon SLR, the FT-QL, and LOVE using it!!!

- Trying to migrate the gallery from Folderblog to Lightwindow, but can't find a way yet to integrate my Slimstat tracker into the script.

- Still working lots!

- Went to Duluth a few weeks ago, met the most beautiful girl in all of Duluth....she works at Amazing Grace Bakery in case anyone wondered.

I've updated the gallery with the pictures from camp (but not the TLR ones yet), as well as some other recent outings :). I will work on the TLR ones next week, and I'll have some new panoramas up around then as well. Hopefully I'll also have my bday wallpaper for Ryoko done soon too.... too busy :).

Got back from camp on Saturday. It was awesome! Weather was great, nobody got hurt or lost anything :) ! I got great pictures, but I'm still waiting on the picks from my TLR. I took 4 rolls worth (3 color and 1 b/w). I'll upload the ones from my digital within the next few days.

...And I still need to do a Ryoko Hirosue bday wallpaper for this year...

Well, we'll be leaving in a couple of hours. See you all in a week! I'll have lots of nice pictures to show afterwards as always!

Today I got a comment on one of my RH wallpapers, and an email, wishing Ryoko Hirosue a happy birthday (who I'm obviously not, but that's not the point). I totally forgot that yesterday was RH's birthday! I've been working so much lately, that I haven't thought about her birthday for well over a month now. Usually I have something made slightly ahead of time.... but not this time. I don't think I'll have time to make somehting before we go to camp, so it will most likely have to wait till we get back...

I can't believe I forgot!

Ok, so here's what's new :). The gallery's been updated with a lost series of photos from 2006, it's a flower series from 072606. It's in the gallery, but here's a quick link to it here  . There's also a new squirrel shoot! I consider them my best squirrel pictures ever. There's a shoot from the Cascades from this Canada Day weekend. I've updated my 'about' page with my TLR equipment and acces., and cleaned out the old references to my old digital camera (my Canon A70), which I haven't had for a while now, as I sold it to a friend. I haven't taken any new pictures with my TLR yet, hard to say if I will or not before we go to camp at the end of the month. I almost went on a shoot with two acquaintences from DeviantArt, Alex  and Ella . Not sure if we'll get another chance before camp or not :(.

Work hasn't changed much..... umm, I guess that's it :).

I'm still not quite over my cold/flu/whatever, and my mum's been sick for almost a week now too. I took all of last week off from work to try to get better. The weather was awesome for practically that whole week, but I couldn't go out and take pictures :(. But I did manage to get some stuff done, including scanning my negatives from the first two rolls taken with my Ikoflex! They are finally up in the gallery! The film I used for the first two rolls were Kodak Porta 400NC.
