this is a public service announcement

Overheard conversation between Drew and his new friend Anna while at school. 

Drew:  Anna, do you smoke?

Anna:  What’s smoke?

Drew:  It’s a stick. You buy at the store, and it has flames and fire and you put it in your mouth.  You suck on it.  It makes your lungs turn black.  Then you die. 

Anna:  Oh! Why would anyone want to do that?

football season

USU football season has started again.  Not that I have too many pictures of the football season, but I have some of my favorites.  This was the white out game, FYI.

I forgot about my camera

So, this last little while I haven’t felt like getting out my “big camera”.  There is no way Hank will sit still for a picture and Drew has been so busy (me too).  A few weeks ago, I got to go to a photography conference that was in Salt Lake City.  I forgot how much I love to play with my camera.  Sheesh… I’ve got to get that thing out again.  I’m gonna try. 

So, when I put my SD card in my computer, I saw a whole bunch of pictures like this.  Just to give you an idea, I took this picture when my sister Lori was visiting back in July.  Sigh.  I forgot about them.

Anyway, here’s what I learned at my conference.

Not that this means anything to you, but it reminds me of how much I love to play with my camera (and how much practice I need).
