If you look between the firetrucks you can see something covered in the road.

I355 shut down this afternoon. Luckily I'm going the other way. Something covered in the middle of the road. Looks like a large animal. There has to be 15 state troopers on the site.

What am I working on now you ask??

Macro photography.....and not only Macro but I am going to dabble in HDR photos as well...

I'm doing my research....I'll show my finished product and my setup on how I do these things. Macro will be first...I'll try to post this weekend the details on that one....HDR will take a little bit.

One World...

Last year a friend of a friend of a friend passed along information regarding little Noah Biorkman, a 5 year old who wasn't expected to make it to Christmas due to an ongoing battle with cancer. So his family decided to have Christmas early and the only thing he wanted was Christmas cards.

So the word was passed. I posted this on facebook as well. Many of you helped. Now in my own little world, I worked on several cards because I didn't want him to just get one card. I sent pictures in my cards that were Christmas related, NY Rockefellar Plaza, my lights on my house and Zorro. Word passed, around the globe. Noah, recieved over a million pieces of mail from all seven continents. The response was staggering.

November 23rd, Noah lost his battle with cancer and passed peacefully at his home.

I think about him and his simple request and the response by so many. Everyone who responded "went to work" and made Christmas for him as well as his family a special one.

There are good people out there.

Lunch with dawn today. MMMMMM

W.I.J.U.T now....

Ever heard of 365 Day Project...I've seen variations of this...basically from a photography standpoint, you take a picture every day. I've seen people do self portraits, and I've seen people just "take" a picture and post it. I may try something like this....my version is going to be to post 3 pictures a day of something I saw during the day. Then comment on them later...

Soon...I'm going to bust out some Macro....stay tuned...

Tonights mission...

Tonight...I am setting up my gear and chasing Saturn. It will be my first viewing if its successful of Saturn.
