Musically Speaking

Well, it’s been quite a while since I have sat down and posted anything. I guess partly because I haven’t had a whole lot to say, a little because I’ve been pretty busy, but mostly because when I do have time I have been more interested in snapping photo’s with my new camera, the wonderful Nikon D300. I made a big leap from the Canon that I had previously and honestly I have not come anywhere near scratching the surface of the potential of this amazing camera. You could say that I have been on a bit of a crash course trying to learn my way around it so that when we go on vacation in June up to Canada for a week, I will know at least the basics of what I need to be able to hopefully capture some awesome photos.

I know this is a very small and very quick update but I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I am still around out here, even though I haven’t been writing much on here. For what it’s worth I have been writing a fair amount in a couple of trusty old notebooks, working on the art of writing in the memoir style, along with trying my hand at a bit of poetry. Yet since I am not at this point ready to share any of that here on the site, I suppose it doesn’t really count for much.

Check out my Flickr site to see a few of the new images I have been able to capture with the new camera and let me know what you think. For those that really care about it, I am also in the process of putting together 2 new book projects through Blurb. The first is going to be a collection of my “finest” work, at least in my eyes, with my trusty old Canon S3 IS. The second will be a themed book, Minnesota nature and wildlife, as seen through the lens of my Nikon. Although a third project may take over briefly after my two vacations to Canada this summer. Once on a weeklong fishing/camping trip and once for a wedding, which should be including a day trip to the Canadian side of Niagra Falls!

Take care and I’ll talk to you soon(hopefully!)
