And somewhere in there I was attempting to learn my new 50mm lens so I can be a proficient photographer on Saturday for the wedding I'm shoot. I completely destroyed that 3 day weekend.

Sadly, for my resolution challenge the blogging and bar hopping always come easy - but for the first time this year, I'm going to lose a point. As of the end of the month, I was *way* over (165, to the goal of "under" 162.5). So.... there goes my lead.

Hopefully some of my hard work in pictures will makeup for the low blograte the last week:

Behind my house - just a short bike ride:



First couple shots with the new lens, its a fixed zoom, so the only way to get more or less in the frame is to ... move forward or back. The upside is the immense control of the depth of field (very low depth in this picture)



Again, more playing - I'm very happy with it.



As mentioned above, spent some time in Longview with Jack (and his tag-alongs). ;-)



Jack, "Psst Dad, even I know no sleeping in Church"



I don't think they are happy about being Grandparents. What do you think?



Jack, with a great-grandparent:



Sup.





I sure hope that camera tastes as good as my fingers.



And after many missed shots, finally.... a smile:




Cook meat - Men will come:



Even the little ones.
