Triangle Strobist Meetup

So, this past week we had our monthly strobists meetup here at my house. I think we had about 30+ people here at the house and we had 2 stations setup. Man it was a great deal of fun and I learned a bunch.

Here is one of the shots that I took - the model's name is Candi - and she was a real trooper - here she was in a garage filled with 25+ photographers - what a deal....

It snowed -

Well, we got some snow this week - and for this part of the country - we don't get snow that often. We ended up with about 5-6 inches where I live, which is enough to get out of work for a day.... that's about it. As of today, the snow is still melting and I would expect that by this weekend it will be all gone.

This picture was taken from the upstairs bedroom looking out across my backyard.

Maybe spring is right around the corner....

Kicking around Youngsville.

So, myself, Steve and Rich ended up kicking around in Youngsville, NC this afternoon. We ended up finding 3 very interesting places. The first was an old home that looked like someone had started to restore it and the somewhere along the way either ran out of money or energy. The house looked like it had several additions and none were very recent. A majority of the siding had already been removed and it looked like an skeleton standing out in the field all by itself.

This picture was taken in the attic - this is pretty much how it came out of the camera - I did kick up the saturation level a tad - but that was about it.

After we spent a good couple of hours looking at the house - we found - what might have been the family cemetery behind the house. It looked like one of the tombstones had been knocked over. We were still able to read who was buried in this area.

All in all - it was a pretty good day - I'll be going back.

Went and saw the movie "Marley and Me"... if you've ever lost a dog - this movie will take you right back to that point in time.

I've decided to start a 365 project - albeit a "twisted 365" - this is my first post. I'm not sure how long I'll last with this - we'll see.
