GoDaddy Shared Hosting…

...is so slow that I am moving all my pictures off to a Flickr account. I will post new links to the photo album once I am done doing all the uploads.

It has been awhile…

...in the past month I have had my wisdom teeth removed, yes at the age of 30, and I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. So I guess it is true that once you hit 30 your body starts to break down! I have a ton of pictures to upload and will do so soon as I am feeling a bit better. Thanks!

New Camera

 So after a few weeks of reading reviews and such I finally stepped into the world of SLR picture taking.  I picked myself up a nice Nikon D40 from Target for $449.99; went to Target because we had some gift cards laying around which gave me a nice 65$ discount.  Since I am going to start taking more pictures I thought I would finally get around to fixing the picture gallery, I use Gallery2 for all my photo albums online.  Had to destroy what I had and start from scratch, hopefully it will remain stable and I won’t have to destroy it again.

Anyhow, back to the camera; it came with a nice 35mm to 55mm f/3.5 to 5.6G ED II AF-S DX lens (3x optical zoom and auto focus is all I got out of that).  I am not a professional photographer nor have I ever owned such a complex camera, I have always had those cheap point and shoot cameras that don’t last very long and take crummy pictures.  I decided since I now have some growing kids to take care of I might as well get something nice to capture the memories.

I will be using my site and blog to host my pictures and show off my lack of photographic skill…I am hoping I get better and learn over time.
