THIS CAMERA HAS BEEN SOLD.
Thanks to all who showed interest in purchasing it. Although I'm sad that I had to let this camera go in order to buy my new one. I'm looking forward to using my new camera. A nice shiny Nikon D300.

I was coming home from training and I was snapping some candid shots of people on the Metro. Ironically, as I took this picture, the song "The Metro" by Berlin started playing on my iPod.
This was my favorite shot of the day.
You must bow to me! I am the Nerd King!

As I sit here in a Cisco Boot Camp this week, I visited another bloggers site (Thanks, Lee!) and saw that she took this great nerd test. I knew right away that I had to take the test to see how I would score.
My result is:
If you take the test, please stop back and let me know how you did. I love these kind of tests. ... read more

This is probably more like the opposite of comfort based on her facial expression. Alice has a necklace and hat on, as well as being hugged. Her overall look is like "Help, get me out of here." All I can say is that she is well loved.

As I was editing the picture, I saw this weeks Photo Friday topic was "unfinished." It al

Yellowjacket and unknown bug
Originally uploaded by louhamilton23.
This morning, we had a bunch of ants and a yellowjacket eating some unknown bug on one of our sidewalk pavers in our backyard.
I thought it was very cool seeing a bee in action while eating. I cannot remember ever seeing this. Although I only got a few shots off that came out, I enjoyed the experience.

Well, not much has happened since my last post.
We've been installing some new kitchen cabinets, waiting for new kitchen countertops, studying for my Cisco certification exam, getting ready for school to start, and got a photo published in an online travel guide.
WHAT! Did I just say that? Yup! I was contacted by Schmap Baltimore for a photo that I had on my Flickr photostream. It was taken at the H ... read more

We went to Edinboro, PA for a few days as part of our vacation. We dropped the boys off at Cathie's parents for about a week and a half. The boys loved the country and all the adventures they experienced with Granny and Poppa. While there, we were able to visit our all time favorite diner, Taki's. As well as get a ride on Cathie's dad's new Ho

Well, this is a day that only occurs once every 100 years.
So, what did I do to celebrate it. I walked around downtown with my boys and took some pictures to upload to the Flickr group dedicated to this day. The group is hoping to put together a book of photographs where all proceeds will go to UNICEF. Looks like a good cause. I'm excited.
It was a great day. We started with a mid-morning snack at t ... read more

Well, I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is that I am loving Adobe Lightroom. What used to take me quite a while in multiple programs to get just right, now takes me a few minutes. I did learn something very frustrating about Lightroom this week, however. It doesn't like compressed folders. I was not able to save any of my changes unti
My Lightroom Software is Here!
by noreply@blogger.com (Lou)10 Jun 2007 at 8:32 am
I know how much you all have been waiting in anticipation since my last post for my copy of Adobe Lightroom 1.0 to arrive. Well, you'll be happy to know that it arrived in the mail yesterday. I was so excited about its arrival that I almost couldn't wait to open it and install it. But alas, we had other plans that kept me from playing with it until later in the evening.
Along with the software, I p ... read more

I haven't been doing much lately besides work and studying. Well, that's not entirely true. We had James' birthday at Chuck E. Cheese with Cathie's parents and some friends from school. They had a blast and really enjoyed meeting Chuck E. Cheese.
I also created this desktop wallpaper from a photo I took during our trip to the Baltimore National Aquarium in March. Since the screen on my laptop is 19 ... read more

I'm not really sure if this is purity, but when I downloaded it from my camera, I just felt that it fit this weeks Photo Friday theme.
This is the new stone bridge along Carroll Creek in Frederick, MD. It was taken on our way to get some Ben & Jerry's in celebration of James' birthday. The whole evening just seemed perfect. ... read more
Something High, Something Low
by noreply@blogger.com (Lou)23 May 2007 at 3:59 am
Today, I saw two interesting things in my backyard. A blimp (something high) and a snake (something low).
This blimp was first seen by my wife, Cathie. She called in to me to come out and see it. The kids were already outside getting ready to play in their kiddie pool. We were all excited about this cool event.
I actually saw this guy earlier while getting the kiddie pool filled. He was in our gard

This room is great because it also has puppets for the kids (and adults) to use and a little stage to perform stories with the puppets.
Illustration Friday -- Citrus

When I saw this week's topic was Citrus, I had a pretty good idea what I was going to draw. I did my second favorite drink of the summer, lemonade. (Iced tea being my first:) )
Here is the sketch of a cut lemon with a glass of lemonade.
I thought it needed more color to it because it looked like fruit next to a glass. So, I added color. Here is the color version.
