New Inspirations and Pursuits

Well, it has been a while.  I think this may have been the longest I've gone without updating the ol' blog. Not for lack of activity, really, just lack of time.  And that's a good thing, really, not having time to sit in front of my computer for too long.  Aside from the normal duties of work, the Condo Board, the Board of Trustees of Mu Beta Psi, and daily life with two cats and an equally busy Lynn, I've gotten back into dancing a bit and taken up a new hobby.

For my birthday, and in preparation for a little trip I'm planning, Lynn gave me a fancy DSLR camera.  (And, it should be noted, enrollment in a photography workshop.)  Under the guidance of a colleague from work, and the workshop, I've been experimenting and having a great time learning about the camera.  So far, I've taken some...

Dramatic shots of my cat:
And cute shots of my cat:

And shots of random people in the park:
And nice cars in my neighborhood:

So, clearly, I have a long way to go.  But I am very much enjoying this new way of looking at the world around me.
