1. I do not call myself a photographer, but just one that is interested in photography. But as such, my friend Sonya invited me to assist her in photographing a wedding this past Saturday. And it was a blast! I love a good excuse to take pictures, and even though Sonya got to do most of the creative work, I got to use a Canon Mark II and learn a few tricks. I'm so looking forward to taking the summer to learn about aperture, and exposure, and composition, and using a flash. Thanks for inviting me Sonya!

P.S. Can you believe she is self taught over the course of a year? http://sonyaruthblog.com/

2. Since work will take my laptop in a few weeks, and our desktop was used by cavemen, I drove allllllllllll they way to the Apple store in Raleigh to buy a MacBook Pro. I feel so cool. Next on my list: Photoshop and an iPhone 4. As a technology facilitator it's my job to keep up with the latest tech tools right? Totally justifiable.

3. Sometimes you have to dance around your room to a Cake song. Sometimes.

4. Is it Summer yet? I must think I don't have any responsibilities because I'm not going to bed at a decent hour. Who wants to come visit and stay up late talking, rocking on the porch, and keeping me company?

5. 12 more days as a classroom teacher. It hasn't sunk in yet.

6. 2 months down! (9 to go?)
