Today I am picking up my 365 project. I did create images over the last few days but the surprising lack of free internet access while I was on my trip, I could not post. So, I will pick up where I left off, and may use some of the images I created in Florida later. This image looks like I may be from Florida, but this was actually shot at Neshota Park in Two Rivers, WI. I was scouting locations for an upcoming engagement session.

Today I saw that some of our tulips had finally started to bloom. I snapped this image quick when it was trying to rain. This is going to be a short post because I am getting ready to go down to Florida to shoot a wedding on Sunday. I will be driving down and back, but I am still planning to keep up my 365 project. The posts just might not be that day. Well, I am off to bed now that I FINALLY got everything packed and ready.

Today we had Buffalo Wild Wings for supper. They were running a special where any wing was $.50 in honor of tax day being tomorrow. I got the Asian Zing and man were they good! I shot this with natural light and the Lensbaby Composer again. Still trying to play with it to get better.

I have a wedding coming up this weekend, and I got two lenses in the mail that I rented from www.lensrentals.com. I rented the Canon EF16-35mm f/.28L II USM lens and the Lens Baby Composer. I will end up buying both lenses eventually, but right now, renting makes more sense. Well, since I got the lenses, I figure I might as well play! Plus I need to learn how to use the Lens Baby much better. This image was captured with the Lens Baby and the f/2.8 disc. I think this image will end up being printed for the wall as well!

Today’s image isn’t really an image I went out to make. It is strictly to show off what arrived today! A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a framed print from Simply Color Lab of my day 26 image of daffodils emerging from their winter slumber. I love the image so much that I got it printed 16×24 with a 2 inch matte and a cool black frame. Simply Color Lab is a new service from Simply Canvas, and I wanted to try out their service. I am extremely happy with the print. The only thing I am disappointed in is how reflective it is. I wish they would have a non-glare glass option. The type of paper I printed on may have added to it, but it really is a cool image. I would love to sell it as a limited edition fine art print.

My mom and step-dad went to Las Vegas over Easter, and one of the places they visited was the M&M factory. My mom got my daughter some temporary M&M tattoos. Addison loves tattoos! She put this one on her leg, and it really looks pretty darn real! Some day she will look back at this and laugh!

Today we celebrated Easter at my mom’s house. She was in Las Vegas during actual Easter, so we did it today. My brother and I hid some eggs outside for Addison to find. This was an action shot of her running to find the eggs. She did really good and found most without any hints. Some were in some tricky spots, but most were easy. She is only 3 after all!!

Today I had a huge plate of nachos for lunch! They were excellant and looked kind of cool.

This morning we got to wake up to a couple of inches of snow! Now it hasn’t snowed here for a bit, but somehow, we got it today, and quite a bit of it! They are forcasting up to 4 inches or so I think. I was really hoping to be done with snow, but it made for a nice image this morning!

Tomorrow Apple will be making an announcement regarding the iPhone 4.0 OS. There are many rumors running around the internet regarding what 4.0 will bring. I have to say, that I have been pretty happy with the 3.0 OS, so I am not too worried about that, but I am hoping that Apple will be announcing the new iPhone tomorrow. My iPhone is now 2 years old. It is the 3G model, and I bought it the day the 3G came out, but it is feeling old. A few weeks ago I upgraded my wife’s phone from a Motorola Razr to the newest iPhone 3GS. Playing around with that a little bit, I love the camera on it, and it just feels faster. I am hoping the new iPhone brings camera upgrades and speed improvements. Beyond that, I really don’t know what to expect. I know that they probably won’t release it until summer, but I really hope it is sooner than later. Tonight’s image is in honor of tomorrow’s announcement. It is actually a composite of two images. I made one image of the iPhone it self, and then one image of the screen. I couldn’t get both at the same time, so I had to combine them in Photoshop. I think the image tuned out kind of interesting.
