I got a book in the mail yesterday!!!
w00t!!
I got my copy of City Birds, Country Birds in the mail from Adventure Publications yesterday! :)
I'm officially a published photographer! \0/
Besides my pictures there are tons of awesome pictures in it. It's also a really fun read. Birdchick's personality definitely comes through, and I know I'm going to get a ton of useful info from it.

Unfortunately Amazon doesn't show it as available yet and just has a publication date of September 2008. Borders also doesn't show it as being available, and has a release date of September 01, 2008.

Adventure Publications does have it available to order, but it is at the cover price of $14.95 rather than the $10.17 it will be from Amazon. Since I'm planning to pick up copies for me & [info]hellbob's parental units, I'm going to wait until I can save a little money to get them. Heck, I may be a published photographer, but I *am* an unpaid published photographer after all!

Clicky here or on picture to get to the publisher's site!

Looooooong day at work
I worked a full 8+ hours today. But it felt longer because over half of those hours were spent taking stuff apart, draining chemicals, and putting stuff back together. Urgh. Something had caused one of the tanks of chemicals on one of our photo printing machines to go funky. It REEKED! Smelled like rotten eggs/sulfer. And the filter wasn't pretty either. So yeah, long day...

Late yesterday afternoon I headed on down to take pictures of the eagle's nest by the 5-8 club. Unfortunately Mike, the guy I had met when out there on Friday, was there and said that he hadn't seen the baby eaglet at all on Sunday or yesterday, so he was figuring the worst. Poor little birdie. :( So no picture with the baby, but here's a pretty good shot of one of the parents.



[info]hellbob & I have started making tentative plans to invade Chicago to visit us some Nibleys. It's been waaaay to long! We'll also be traveling for a wedding this month (in WI). And Brian from Coverville planted a seed of an idea in my head about going to the New Media Expo in Las Vegas this August. He's got some hella-cool plans for show #500. Of course, if we do go to the NME, I'll have to take Stunt Double Moose, since Real Moose will be off in the Galapagos Islands!!! I do so love to travel... Why can't I be independently wealthy??

I took some pictures last night...
I got home to late to even think about doing anything with the pics. Then I was at work all day. But I'll get to them eventually.
Overall I'm VERY happy with how these look!
Here's one of them:


Also, I've got video that I'll be putting up on YouTube as soon as I figure out how to work iMovie. :)

Here is a picture of Harvey 2.008. He was in the neighbor's yard and I used my cool new lens.



In this cropped in part of the picture you can see the little raindrops on his whiskers! Silly wabbit, sitting out in the rain!

Back when I was small & cute!
When I was at my parents house for Christmas I came home with a box of my Grandpa's slides. I'm gonna scan them at work. I did a few to check out what kind of quality I would get on the basic standard resolution, and then I uploaded them so that y'all can see how cute I used to be!

This one is from when I was 2. I'm on the left and [info]genevra (3 yrs old) is on the right and that is HellDad that is holding us while we pet the lion cub that our neighbor had.


Cut like an emo teenager because there are a ton of pictures here! )
