On my way to Moab!

Here we go again, another photography workshop. This time we are going
to Moab, Utah. It is supposed to be beautiful. I'm not a landscape
photographer, but I'm hoping to get some good photos. Last workshop I
worked my ass off, this time I made a promise to myself to pick up my
camera and take some images for me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for
a good group of people. I'm happy I will have cell service so I can
call home every now and then, the Grand Cayman workshop got very
lonely (sometimes I am so pathetic). As Liz used to say "there is
therapy for that".

Sunday with Cam

Movie Night

Atlantic Avenue, Delray

Blue Cruizer
I took what Cameron calls "the car" (the Hasselblad) to Delray Sunday. We had a great time, but I always do when I'm with my daughter. We saw lots of older women with horrible plastic surgery, duck lips, thin skin, ridiculous cheek bones and expressionless.  I didn't take any photos of them, maybe one day I will have the guts to stick the camera in their distorted faces. For now I think that would be kind of rude.

I get so frustrated every time I take the Hasselblad out to shoot. The camera is not second nature yet, so I have to think when I shoot. I hate being stuck to one focal length, but I'm not ready to carry around a heavy zoom yet. I miss so many shots. Each time I say I'm not taking it out to shoot anymore, then I process the images and am blown away by the quality. More photos after the jump...

Florida Renaissance Festival 2011

Swashbucklin'

Jaunty Dragon

I'm still forcing myself to get comfortable with the Hasselblad. Last weekend I took it to the Renaissance Festival. I didn't take very many photos, was too busy yapping with Jim, lot of catching up to do. I completely screwed up the camera settings, but got a few happy accidents. Now I know to double check and make sure Peter hasn't set the camera up with some funky settings. We had a great time. Cameron looked so cute in her costume that she sewed herself by hand. Charlie was happy he didn't have to go, he spent the day in the big red chair watching the Daytona 500. Cam had a fried Twinkie. I asked her how it tasted, she said "fried".  More photos after the jump...
