You can get info on the pictures, by mousing over “foto info” on the bottom right.

Another new category for you today: Financing the Gear. Nuff said on that.
Cary is (or was) a smallish city near Raleigh. In the past decade, both Cary and Raleigh have grown, and now Raleigh practically engulfs Cary. They are still separate on the map, mind you, but for all practical purposes, you can travel between them without realizing you have crossed from one to the other unless you pay attention to the road signs. There is, though, a difference in teh personality of the places, with Cary maintaining more of a small town feel.
There is a major business center in that area, called Research Triangle Park. The RTP is a triangular (duh) area comprising the city of Raliegh, and the major universities there (Duke, Chapel Hill and Wake Forest). If this is area that interests you, you may want to look into Cary NC Real Estate. That way, you can have the best of both worlds–big city days, and little town nights.
They know don’t they? They can tell when you love them. And so they find you, and make you theirs. You can see him snickering, can’t you? Little cheater.
Edit: crisis averted–real owner found. Thwarted the wee bugger.

Here’s a new category for you: Photo Op will talk about pictures I’d like to take. The “one day” shoots that I’ll get to when life allows.
The first one is close to home. I’d love to go to the Outer Banks for a couple of days, and shoot, shoot, shoot. I’m not really interested in going during the tourist season, because I think the beauty of the place is in the sand, sea and architecture, not the bikini-clad bods that throng it, and (usually) trash it during the summer. I’d like to go in fall, alone (so it’s quiet, see, more wildlife that way), and just snap what interests me. Since my bathroom is decorated in lighthouses, it would be really cool to have a few of my own prints in there.
I have read that sand and salt are really bad for your camera, though. I’ve also read that you can get around that a bit by keeping your camera covered when not in use, and also by putting it in a ziploc bag, though you have to be really careful when you are shooting to make sure the bag is flat against the lens to avoid distortion.
Did you see the new Flickr badge in the sidebar? It’s all the self portraits I’ve made for the SPS meme. I am still amused, amazed and confounded that the four pictures look like 4 different people.
So far, I have only uploaded those 4 pics, because when I try to get the badge to take only pics labeled selfportraitsunday, it comes up blank. I’m sure of the tag, so I don’t understand what’s going on. Is there some great tagging secret I am missing?

Today was a serious laundry day, and so I present: suds. I’m not showing you stacks of clean folded laundry because I put it away as it came out of the dryer.

My issue of JPG arrived Saturday! As before the articles are interesting, but it’s the photographs that scream.
I really enjoyed the photo essay entitled “Souvenirs”. It’s such a neat idea, and the resulting photos are fun and quirky. The other essays held a couple of surprises each, but over-all I did not find them as interesting.
The two most compelling images, to me, are on pages 84 and 99, from the theme “Intimate”. Both are incredibly full of emotion, and evoked an almost physical response in me. Some of the photos in this issue are PG-13, but still, I could not put it down until I had read it cover to cover.
Don’t forget that you can check out all the submissions at jpgmag. I am so seriously considering submitting a few on my own shots.

Here is my oldest daughter eating a huge mouthful of Brussels sprouts to prove a point to her brother. Can you tell she hates them? This is the second huge mouthful. SHe was so funny the first time that I made her do it again so I could get this photo.
Something a little different today. This is actually the shot I had planned for last week, but changed my mind at the last minute. I took several shots to get this one, including one with my eyes closed. You know how cute babies look when they are sleeping?? Adults do not look like that. They look dead instead. See?
