09/15/2009

The one good thing about only working till 12 some days, is that I get to go to the dog park when it's not so crowded.

09/14/2009

I found this weird piece of gravel in our yard. Ya think it's a fossil?

09/13/2009

All the little birds have disappeared from our bird feeder, and all we have left is the occasional Magpie.

Yeah, I know its blurry. I was trying to manual focus through a dirty window.

09/12/2009

I should have adjusted the aperture so that the log was in focus but the BG wasn't.

09/11/2009

I found an old used B&W film. I wonder what's on here. I'll have to get it developed next payday.

09/10/2009

My first real camera. My folks gave me their old rangefinder Canon. It's light meter was broken and they got a new one. I took sooooo many pictures with this, most were horrible, and some . . . weren't so completely horrible.

Oh yeah, and this was taken in my finished white box!

09/09/2009

My friend Jay told me about this thing called a white box. It's basically a white box to take photos in, lke product shots. Here's the start.

09/08/2009

Just taking shots around the office. Robin's folks gave us this camera a while back. I haven't even used it yet. Film developing is F-ing expensive. maybe once I learn on my camera, I'll try it out.

09/07/2009

I can't believe the leaves are changing color already. Summer went by so fast.

09/06/2009

I love this new camera! went for a walk in the park, took a few shots.

09/05/2009

Robin got me a DSLR for my B-day! I can't wait to learn how to use it properly! In the mean tile it has a lot of dummy settings to keep me going while I learn.

09/04/2009

Happy B-day to me. Sigh, b-days aren't as fun out here as they were back home.

09/03/2009

I can fit a pencil through my stretching now!

09/02/2009

So many interesting books! So little money. this one is about how some christian practices are based on pagan ones.

09/01/2009

Just another underwater photo.

08/31/2009

Yeah, forgot to take a good pic today. Saw this at work though, peel and stick chalkboard. Brilliant!

08/30/2009

Nothing like home made BBQ sauce

08/29/2009

Maceo the hunter

08/28/2009

Mushrooms! Maybe these are the ones Hali got into.

08/27/2009

Took one shot today, turns out it was a bad one. Oh well, the show must go on.

08/26/2009

I had my first full 8 hour shift today. When I got home Hali wouldn't even look at me. Seriously, she went out for a pee, then went straight to bed and refused to even look at me.

08/25/2009

My office. I don't know why I feel the need to show off what a slob I am.

08/24/2009

Another pic of my dog.

08/23/2009

It was Robin's B-day today! Flowers, presents, and Ice cream cake!

08/22/2009

This is gonna be tuff. My first day and already I find a couple of books I want to buy. a graphic guide to genetics and DNA. It appeals to me on so many levels.

08/21/2009

Had my orientation at Chapters today, and they gave me a ton of reading. I'm a little upset that I can't make a living doing what I love anymore (well, not that I was making MUCH of a living at it.)



I got high hopes though. People seem nice enough.

08/20/2009

I put a new cover on the gazebo today, Geez, it took all friggin day, who knew it woulda been so difficult?

08/19/2009

We got some Yellow Jacket traps today. We get swarmed whenever we try to eat on our patio. I can't seem to find a nest though.

08/18/2009

I always liked the look of a peach pit. So alien looking.

08/17/2009

The building Robin's office is moving to. I wish I had gotten a better shot. I love seeing how a building is put together, it's amazing how something so heavy stays standing.

08/16/2009

Why do cats love paper bags so much?

Yes another stupid pet photo.

08/15/2009

I just thought this was funny

08/14/2009

There's nothing like home-made pasta sauce made with your own fresh herbs. Mmmm-mmmm!

08/13/2009

Hali was really sick today. She was throwing up all over the place, and she had some even more discusting symptoms too. We figure she ate a mushroom when we were out on a walk or something.

08/12/2009

I got some real Slurm when we were in Lake Louise. I'm a little hesitant to try it.

08/11/2009

Another Lady Beetle Pic!

08/10/2009

Saw these weird spikey things growing on some of the plants when I went for a walk today.

08/09/2009

Hali and I walked down to meet Robin after her dance class. I took a picture from the bridge over Red Deer River.

08/08/2009

My Mario Bros. Mushroom. Whenever some driver does something stupid in front of me, I imagine the mushroom really works, and my car grows giant and I crush the asshole. Sigh, driving out here is making me angry.

08/07/2009

Phil and Kelly left today. Sad day.

Making fun of the "Fiander Pose" in the airport.

In every family photo, everyone has to have their hand on someone, Xmas especially, weird.

08/06/2009

Act Natural I said.

08/05/2009

We had an awesome games night. Rock Band, Mario Party, Scene it, Mario Kart! w00t!

08/04/2009

We went for a drive around the Banff Springs Golf Course. You're always gonna see Elk there. These guys were so close we coulda touched 'em!

08/03/2009

We hiked to the Tea House above Lake Louise today. Yikes I'm out of shape.

08/02/2009

My sister Kelly and Robin's brother Phil came for a visit this week. It was nice to have company again. It's sad that they're the last for a while.

08/01/2009

Found a baby lady beetle today! I put him in our herb planter, hopefully he'll get big and fat from gorging on aphids.

07/31/2009

More flowers. In too much of a hurry today to look up what this is.

07/30/2009

finally some rain, that cooled things off a bit.

07/29/2009

I forgot to take a real picture today. I was fooling around with the camera and my old wallet from highschool. Nothing exciting.

07/28/2009

Handing out resumes today. can't wait any longer for an animation job. sigh.
