Holiday Spirit
Just a quick hello between Christmas and New Years. I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know I did. While my family history has often been rocky, it is amazing and humbling the kindness I have been shown by so many families throughout my life. This year was no exception.
A few photos were taken. They can be found through the picture linked above.

B&W
Black and white photography is something new to me. Those with more official training in photography usually start shooting only black and white and I think that I see why. It is the same as working with a prime lens in that it removes a variable from the equation of taking a good shot. Rather than having a multitude of variables, I am forced down to just focus, aperture and exposure. That leaves more of the brain able to concentrate on framing the shot.
I don’t think I will start shooting exclusively black and white to practice, but as we exit fall and enter winter, there are not very many colors to speak of and I think it will allow me to explore other aspects of my picture taking.
A few more pictures from the same set are on my flickr page. I didn’t make a set, so it is probably easiest to click on the one above and just go backwards and forwards.

Muffin Method - Banana Bread
Before I headed out of town last week, I looked at the three bananas I had sitting on the counter and wondered what to do with them. I realized they were already past their prime and would be goners by the time I got back. Then I had a thought; BREAD!; BANANA BREAD! So I tossed them in the refrigerator so they would not be fuzzy when I got back.
You know I hold Alton Brown in very high regard, so I pulled out his second tome, I’m Just Here for More Food. Pages 98-99, Banana Bread. Muffin Method, here I come.

Shouldn’t I have more free time?
So. As most of you know, GuardianEdge decided to relocate my office to the West Coast and I decided not to go. This is the tactful way of saying that I am unemployed. One would think that when you are not spending 8 hours a day in an office that you would somehow find more time to relax and enjoy yourself. Sadly no. Not that I am overly unhappy, just busy and stressed and a bit worn out.
Hmm. Might have something to do with the nearly 800 miles I traveled in a 45 hour span starting at 3am on Monday morning. You think?
Not much news I feel like writing about on this topic. I know that people are curious and I know that people care how I am doing, but it gets a bit tiring talking about it all the time. And since this is my blog, I’m not going to. I’ll let everyone know when something is more solid.
Have a good…um…what day is it? I guess there are some side effects of this after all.
P.S. click on the picture above to see some things from my NYC trip.
