A few more flood shots

Hows that for a imaginative title?

Anyway, here’s a couple more shots I can share. First up is one of the fences at a park behind the police station. Originally one of their cars was resting on top of the fence, I just wasn’t brave enough to go down there while it was still like that.

Next up is this house. There did not used to be a gaping hole in the foundation.

These shots are not technical masterpieces, but that’s not really what I was going for, just documenting this for the future. While there was quite a bit more to show, and areas that were much worse off. I have chosen not to invade those parts of town yet until things have settled down a bit. These people have been through enough, they don’t need me poking around while they are trying to get things done.

And the horse I rode in on.

Well, the photos are still on my camera, but I need a break from girl movies or I am going to lose it. So I got on here to post one that I took at the wedding. It isn’t a work of art, but I like it and that is what it is all about to me!

The only things I did to this, aside from resizing for the site, was tweak the contrast and brightness.

Day two was much better

I went out Friday and took photos, lots and lots of photos. I would love to share them with you, but:
1) They are still on the camera
2) I am very tired
3) I am lazy
4) There is no 4 really but I like to end on an even number when possible!

Becky doesn’t have to work this weekend so I probably won’t have them up till Monday. I rarely get to see her much on Saturdays so I am going to take advantage of it.

Oh yeah, we went to see Wall-E Friday night, it is quite good. A little something for everyone. It’s silly and animated for the kids, has some good slapstick humor for the dads and a girl movie subplot for mom! What are you waiting for, go see it. Oh and enjoy the short film at the beginning, it is hilarious!

Taking a few days off

Taking a 4 day weekend. Going to relax if it kills me, or someone else!

Funniest thing I have seen in awhile

I wanted to post this yesterday, but my hosting company decided to be a pain in the rump.

Anyway, When I shot that wedding last week, I had an assistant. Granted she was only eight years old, but I couldn’t have asked for a better one. See, here’s how it happened. She was sitting there looking very bored, not at all happy that I wasn’t able to give her my undivided attention. Exhibit A:

I thought for a bit, what can I do to make her day better? Well, she is my child, maybe she likes cameras too! I asked her if she would like to use my point and shoot to help me out a bit. This perked her up quite a bit. Exhibit B:

And here is her first shot, she is definitely taking after her old man! Exhibit C:

Here is the lyrics to the song I posted the other day! I think if you read them you may appreciate it a little better. I don’t expect you to enjoy the musical style. A lot of the things I listen to are hard to take for some, my wife included!

Lyrics to Locked Away by Eowyn:

Look past all I’ve been before
I’m longing, pleading for so much more.
Do you see me on this cliff afraid?
Waiting, praying, come and take away the pain?

Locked away in these chains I need to find myself.
Trust today I will fade if I don’t find myself.
Without you I’ve morphed into a lesser me.
Don’t you see, all I need is You to find myself!

Set back clocks of wounded times.
I’m grasping, begging for one more try.
Do you see the possibilities?
Take me, break me, mold this new found me.

Locked away in these chains I need to find myself.
Trust today I will fade if I don’t find myself.
Without you I’ve morphed into a lesser me.
Don’t you see, all I need is You to find myself!

Locked away? Come and free me? Locked away? Come and free me.
Come and free me!

Locked away in these chains I need to find myself.
Trust today I will fade if I don’t find myself.
Without you I’ve morphed into a lesser me.
Don’t you see, all I need is You to find myself!

or maybe not!

Thanks to M+, you are getting another video post. This one is of the band Eowyn. M+ blogged about them the other day and I checked them out and became enamored with her music. No matter what I say it will not do it justice so here is a video. (Warning this is Christian Rock with a capital R be prepared!)

Excuse me while I go purchase some cd’s.

I took this video the other day with my phone. The quality isn’t great but it is passable for this purpose. Before you click play turn your sound down a bit, it gets pretty loud very quickly. The wind was whipping across the microphone on the phone and making it quite noisy!

Maybe I will post an actual photo tomorrow!
