I want to thank everyone for the Holiday wishes. It was a wonderful Christmas indeed! It was really good to have everyone under one roof. Oh, and the best present I got, besides Rob being home, was my very own Velcro Dart Nerf Gun!!! Look out boys...mamma's packin' Nerf!!! So now I am prepared for their ambushes. I'm a pretty fair shot too!

This is a picture of Jon's violin and some of his music from last year. I'm still having fun playing with the macro lens and lighting, so this was an experiment all the way around. It's not really a macro, although it was shot with that lens. I like this lens a lot, even for portraits, although my 85mm f 1.8 is still my best for portraits, this one definitely passes fair, although the focus is very finicky compared to the 85mm.

I did not get the printer yet, the one I want won't be in stock until some time in January. I did get a 500GB LaCie hard drive though for my photos which was definitely needed as I was starting to run out of space. I should be good to go for a while.

I meant to get out today and take some photos of bridges or the rail yard, but I made it out a bit late, because of a long phone call. When I finally did get out I got about 1/2 a block I discovered a nail in a very flat tire. That's 3 on this car in less than a year. Fortunately it was able to be repaired right away and only cost $10. There's been a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood this year...I will be glad when it's over! Maybe then I will stop getting nails in my tires.

It was too late to go where I wanted to go to shoot and the light had gone rather flat by the time I was able to get out anyway. I will just have to go tomorrow instead.

(I know there are specs in the photo, it's rosin from Jon's bow, not dust on my lens or sensor.)
