A Rekindled Interest!!!

Well, hey!!! It's time for my sixth-month update!!! Wow...

So, I got a new 35mm DSLR about a year ago... and almost 365 days later, my interest in photography has been rekindled. I've been turned on to HDR photography. So the above image is an HDR, 2-picture Panoramic of Alta Ski Resort and Little Cottonwood Canyon at sunset. I took it about a week ago. I really like the way it turned out. I'm quite pleased with myself and am excited to see what more my camera can do... oh, here's another HDR...

That picture is Legacy Bridge... located on the campus of the University of Utah... built for the Olympics back in 2002. Granted, this forum isn't going to reveal the full detail of the HDR. I can't upload high-res photos. Don't want it to slow down your viewing/reading pleasure... or people to steal the pic!!!

What else is new? Not a whole lot. Premmy, the sneaky, little bugger of a Vizsla that I have, is doing well. He's 1 1/2-years old now and doing very well. His little buddy, Stewie the Cat, keeps him preoccupied and his schedule busy.

Other than that, I've been working a lot. Keepin' busy... payin' the bills... yadda, yadda, yadda...

Hope all is well for those reading this.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

For some reason, I've decided to list my top-10 favorite albums:

1. Led Zeppelin - III
2. U2 - Rattle and Hum
3. Radiohead - Ok Computer
4. Pearl Jam - Ten
5. They Might Giants - Flood

9. Snow Patrol - Songs for Polar Bears
10. Depeche Mode - Violator

Of course, my selections are up for debate!!

Ooops... and that's why pencils have erasers!!

I'm keeping this entry brief because I don't wanna talk about it. I got into a car wreck about a month ago!!

It was nothing serious. I was at a stop light... wasn't paying attention... popped the clutch and my car went into a truck. Actually, it went under the truck. No damage to the guy's truck. But, there was an impressive $7,400 damage to the ol' 2003 Subaru Outback.

The insurance company did fix it and I basically got a new engine, new wheel fenders, new bumper and lights. Oh, and a new windshield. The car runs great. I couldn't be happier with it.

That's all I want to say about it. Oh, one last thing. My rental was a Saturn Ion. Safe to say, I'm never going to own one of those POS's.

All is well. My doggy , Premmy, got bitten at the dog park yesterday (June 13). Damn dog was one of those Borzoi pieces of crap. Called the hosp because it was fairly deep. But, it wasn't bleeding. I told them I put some neosporin on it. They said it should be okay but to monitor it for swelling or anything like that. This whole experience upsets for me two reasons. Why do you bring a dog to a social setting when it has potential to bite other dogs? And, the other reason... I don't want my dog to turn defensive because of bad experiences. I work very hard to make sure my dog is happy and treated well. And it only takes this Borzoi POS dog one second to ruin it!!

Okay... I'm done. Happy birthday to my blog. It's a year old now!!
