Drip, drop

I attempted to photograph water-droplets today, trying to capture them as they hit the surface. I got some cool shots to start out with, and I'm going to keep trying throughout the week to see what else I can get.

Jump!

Did another photo shoot today with Amy's kids. What dolls! We had so much fun. She gets free babysitting all day, and we both get a bunch of great photos in the end. :)

Certificate

It's official! I finally got my finisher's certificate in the mail for running in the Honolulu marathon. :)

Before and After

Here's the before and after image of my desk with my old and new monitors. Okay, so I'm a geek ... but it's so great! I can have two near-full-sized browsers open one my monitor side-by-side! :)

Famous Fuji

A photo of my cat, Fuji, was purchased for the first time today. What a cutie ... I'm so proud of him ;) I also got my 22" computer monitor in the mail. It's huge! It will save me some eye-strain, for sure, and I'm not arching forward at my desk anymore.

Work is going really well. I'm always busy, but I'm finally organized and things are running smoothly. It's a lot more work than I had before, but I enjoy the job more so it's a nice balance. :)

Monitor

I finally decided to get a new monitor for my computer. The 15" I have now is really all I've known, but I'm realizing that I could use some more work-space since I sit at my computer so much doing photography stuff. Sooooo, I did some online research, read some reviews, and bought an Acer AL2223Wd 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor. I'm so excited! I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas :) This will be an enormous upgrade to what I have now; I'll probably even post "before" and "after" photos of my desk when I get the thing!

The photo above is from Val's tee-ball game on Saturday; I thought it would be fun to take some photos. There wasn't a whole lot of action, plus it was windy and cold, but it was fun :) It's so cute seeing little kids learn how to play ... like the kid in the photo to Val's left -- I don't think there's any kick-boxing in baseball ;)
