Soooooo....How are you?

Yeah I know it's been forever. February (my last post) seems so far away but at the same time I don't even remember what happened to March, April, or even May. Nationwide's commercials are spot on..."Life comes at you fast."

Speaking of the Nationwide commercials, did you hear about who's going to be in their latest "Life Comes at You Fast" commercial. None other than infamous American Idol Sanjaya. Wow he just won't go away.

I digress. The real reason I decided to post again is more selfish than anything really. We recently got a very nice Nikon dSLR camera and my uber talented photography guru sister inlaw Aly (www.alydart.com) spent some time over the Memorial day weekend showing me some of the ropes of using the camera. Although my subjects were mostly moving little boys I managed to take a few pictures that I felt good enough about to edit. So I really wanted to just post the edited pictures and get Aly's feedback.

Don't go easy on me Aly. I need the truth and nothing but the truth or I will not get better. I'm a big boy. I can take the harsh realities of my photographic noobieness.

Ok so here they are.

This one was taken before my tutoring but I really think something of the subjects and felt like editing it.

The next two were from Memorial Day at Grandma and Pas house.

This one I was just playing with the color saturation. I know it's Grayish. I was trying to just pull out a few colors

I actually didn't take this one. Leah did. This is Payson, our friends little boy. He had such a big smile I felt like I needed to edit it and send it to Quinton and Michelle.

So those are it for now. Aly if you don't feel comfortable criticizing me in a comment then let me have it via email or you can always call me. Whichever is easiest for you.

As for Blogging I'll be back sooner rather than later. I promise we will not reach the 3+ month mark again.
