I finally got the shot!


Friday while I was home to see daylight I took the opportunity to take a few more stabs at this picture. It only took about 50.

Sorry for the lack of posting over the last few days. I'm sure you understand. I was busy putting pretty paper on things, and taking pretty paper off of things. Definitely not puking. (How sad is that? I'd hate to be sick for Christmas.)

I forgot to grab the memory card out of my camera this morning, so it won't be until tonight (at the earliest) or tomorrow (at the latest) that I'll put up whatever pictures we managed to take over the weekend on our flickr page. I think having a busted camera has seriously de-motivated both of us in the picture taking department. On the bright side, whacking the side of your camera before taking someones picture seems to be a good way to get a nice smile/laugh for the picture.

I feel like this is a lame post, because this is the only picture I've got:


I just haven't taken any other interesting pictures this week, between a lack of time and interesting subject matter.

I've decided to give Flickr a shot. I know I've been pimping Picasa recently, but that was mainly fueled by my love for the windows client. Sadly, there's no google-made equivalent for Macs. They have an iPhoto exporter plugin, but that's about it. Until recently I've always managed my picture archives manually like so:

/pictures/2005/0101 – New Years Eve

While I do like some features of iPhoto on my new Macbook, I'm not thrilled with the way it organizes the pictures on my hard drive and I think I'm just going to stop using it and go back to manually managing them. Since my main draw to Picasa is gone, and Flickr has this neat feature where you can put notes right on your photos (something I've long wanted my other photo sharing solutions to imitate), I figured it was worth a shot. It also seems to be the de-facto photo sharing site among bloggers, and I can see why.

I tried my darndest to get one of those typical ornament shots, but I don't have a steady enough hand or a tripod. I'm not happy with the results at all so I don't want to post it. Maybe next year.
