Homework time!

EDIT: Dana, you get a B.

Time for Dana's homework!

Dana is my Student. She's a realtor from Maine who loves photography, but doesn't know

much of the science behind it. I'm teaching Slowly over twitter, mostly. This is really a fresh

thing for her, rather than just assigned reading. This is a REVIEW!

Your Project today is:

Examine both photos, and tell me what can make it better. Some of its really easy, some, not so much.

Note: Second one is cut off due to blog layout. View here

NO CHEATING!

Note Number Deux: Anybody can take part in this, but please wait until I edit this post saying dana is done before posting.

I had no idea what to take a picture of, so how about my feet? Forgot to turn ISO down and NR off, and it did pretty well, I'd say. I still doubt I'd use it much.

You must be saying "Wtf is this crap?" well, shut up. See that little green dot in the bottom left corner? I just found out that that is a focus indicator. Yes, this helps me alot.

So, Starbucks is doing a thing where every week they showcase a BOLD coffee. Some new. This week is Yukon Blend. (seen below)

So we went last night to get a bag of it and 2 of their new mugs.

ISN'T IT AWESOME? 'Tis. It's 100% recycled coke glass. I luhv it so much!

So, we had coffee, bought coffee, and bought mugs.

Back to the BOLD thing, it goes for 8 weeks. If you GO QUICKLY, you can make it in time and snag a cup of Yukon, and make sure you ask for a STICKER. They'll know what you're talking about. If you do this every week for 8 weeks, and bring your stickers in, you'll get a free pound of your BOLD choice of coffee. Cool, huh?

Ciao.

PS. The image has ZERO post processing. The vintage look was naturally awesome!

Ciao for real now.

Another bad photo! Last one, promise. So. I was waiting for my online course to start, and the music they were playing was awesome, as usual. I could tell it was the decemberists, but shazam didn't know the song or album or anything. So I asked, they told me, I loved it. I wanted the album, and decided I'll see if I can't get a few bucks out of my pocket change. I started digging through my top bedside drawer, in which I've thrown my pocket change in for the past 18 months. I looked for only quarters. I found $31.50. Yea, I think that bought my album. And the Wireless remote. Mc-L3 I think It is? I need to go buy one.

Ok, another bad photo. But it's worth it because I'm documenting that I GOT TO USE A NIKKOR 70-200 2.8 VR!!!! As I've said, I think I'm going to have to sell my soul to the Government so I can get one of these.

This little guy's name is Olken. He's the *cutest* little Haitian boy brought home by one of my friends/activists that's been helping in Haiti a lot. He's being adopted by an active Dr. in our church. The gal's name is Allison, and she, along with her older sister, have been to Haiti multiple times before. Neither have been since before the earthquake, as they go with our church group. They're both itching to get over there, praying for the day to come. They were in tears all night, and were saddened when it was time for him to go for the night. So sweet, I couldn't stop smiling whenever I was around him. You get a different feel when you get to meet them, versus watching CNN. It's amazing, really.

Shadoobies.

I had something techy (Techy?! What an Idea for a blog like this!) to talk about, but I blanked just now. Expect something when I remember it.

Was it the T2i? The iPad? Hmm......

I made toast. For the first time in like, forever. I know, it's just peanut butter toast, but our jelly department in the fridge is lacking. Do you like my snowman plate? In March?! I do. It's a wonderful plate. Perfect size for lots of foods, such as waffles. Or at least, the waffles I make.

My floors are pretty, no? And tough as nails. We really need a dog. Mom. Grr. And my coffee mug? My aunt went to Paula Deen's restaurant (Wth?) and got an ALL DAY PASS (WTF?) and got me this mug, which, on the other side, say's Hey Ya'll! Yea, seriously. I like it because it's really thick and keeps coffee warm.

Special yumminess/365

Sorry, but this had to be shown off. I, with the help of mom, (she knows the recipe better), made pumpkin bread! I know, March? Really? Yes. March, really. Made it for my Grandma in SoCal, who's not in the best of health, but loves the stuff, so we make a bunch, and keep one loaf. It's so freaking good! I'd post the recipe, but it's family secret O_o

Ps. It's also Monday's 365 Photo.

Pss. Click it and view in separate window for full beautishisness. Dig the word?

Ciao.

Ps. You should remember these.

Have a great day!

The internet? Ya, it works, yo!

So, Comcast came yesterday, around 10 AM. Two men, two trucks, and a few wiggling of the wires later, I get my 28 Mbps back. Now what does this mean? Since it's tuesday, 5 Fantabulous Finds Day! That'll be in an above post.

FIRST,

I still haven't gotten a response on Coffee. WHICH SHOULD I GET? I need to know, man!

That is all.

March!

March! It's here! Lot's of things going on in march.

For instance, my parents have now been married........ I THINK it's 32 years. Yes, March 1st.

I woke up at 5:30 this morning! :D (I hope this is a trend.....)

St. Patricks Day! Green decor all around!

Warmer weather T_T :(

My birthday is next month!

The iPad ships.

Now. I was hoping for some awesomeness from my google reader that is filled to the brim,

but, seeing as my internet is too slow to load it properly, I will just include it in tomorrow's fantabulous finds. HOPEFULLY.

Like I said, lots of things happening in march.

Ciao.
