Geek post
I'm in heaven right now. Because we did christmas early this year I got Christmas money early and now have already spent it. I got an Olympus FL-50 for my FZ50 and it is sweet! I can't believe the difference an external flash makes. Plus I found out that I didn't have to buy the [...]

Family Pictures
Since we were celebrating Christmas early with the Bowers family this weekend, Grandma Bowers asked me to do some some family pictures. Everybody was going to be here, including Matt who lives in Gibraltar.
Of course I was happy to oblige. I talked to a friend of mine who has been in the photography business for [...]
