Tom

Tom

This is my friend Tom. He called me to do some simple shots for him.

It doesn't get much simpler than this! 

Madley is remodeling our garage. Which means all the stuff that was in the garage is all over my patio and inside my house.

 

So Tom had to pose for me situated between our lovely garden and garage stuff.

Now don't misunderstand. Madley is working very hard and as fast as he can to finish our garage. So he can work on making his workbench. So he can build the new bathroom sink/cabinet for Little Indy. So he can remodel my kitchen. I expect all of this to be finished when his mother comes to visit late November. I'm not too demanding.

Tom is a good sport. He understands man stuff. See. He is a man. He likes all the stuff all over. It's like paradise to men. 400 bottles and cans of man stuff. 

WD40 type stuff.

Me...not so much. I am being patient. Really. My eye only twitches once in a while. Really. I'm o.k.

Toms wife passed away unexpectedly last year. She was an awesome lady and I miss her terribly. But Tom's doing great. He's lost some weight. He needed new photos to prove to the world he's gotten himself in shape.

He's now ready to brave the waters of socializing, networking, Facebook... 

or whatever.

Go get em Tom!

I think he needs a new football...if he wants the other boys

to play football with him.

I could be wrong, I am a girl. But someone needs to buy Tom a new football.

I hope these photos work for you Tom!

A Day With the Photo Club

 One of my photo club friends...and model for a moment...she is gorgeous!

We met up at Little Indy's college early this morning. We should have made it about 2 hours earlier for better light. We hiked up a bit to see the mountain and get some landscape shots. I took a few photos but after telling everyone else how to set their cameras...I forgot to set mine right. Plus I need to clean my sensor...too many spots at that wide angle. So I need to return and take some secret better shots to impress everyone. I'll get right on that...yawn, stretch.

Anyway...I love to teach. I hope someone learned something. I hope they keep coming back and learn more. I hope they all got some good shots. I hope I didn't get any deer ticks.

 What else would I take pictures of in a parking lot?

I don't use technical terms much when I teach. I don't want to sound like a know it all. But maybe I  should so I don't instead sound like a babbling idiot...like saying "That doohickey right there will make yer picture brighter" ...or "What is the word I'm looking for...you know...in black and white pictures you want...help me here somebody...oh yeah! Contrast! That's the ticket!" I'm sure I instill so much confidence when I have a brain fart...or 20.

 Our token guy in our group. He is a good sport hanging out with us women folk.

...and my lame picture of the beautiful flag.

Good news...Monday I am picking these up when they come off the truck...I. am. so. excited. I wish I had them for the Penne Alla Betsy I am cooking tonight...watch for my review tomorrow!
