Happy Easter

So I've done it... I bucked the 2 week trend... only 7 days between posts now...

I went home for Easter Weekend, which was good and bad. Good in that I got to see the family, but bad in that I fell behind on school work. This next 4 days are going to be quite hellishly busy.

It was really great seeing the family, Dad is home from Manitoba for a week, so I got to see everyone. Alexa is quite fun to play with now, she's really growing up fast. She's still a handful, but she's becoming more independent and free thinking.

I took a tonne of pictures this weekend, so look for some soon. I really need to start an on-line photo album for collecting these pictures, more of a barrage of unedited snapshots than edited and polished photos like I've been posting to deviantART.

I'll make that my next project for my website (which might still be a ways off yet).

Well I better sign off, time is at a premium at the moment.

So yeah, whats new...

Seems that 2 weeks is my usual time between posts... thats not intentional... I just get caught up in things and put other things on the back burner.

I haven't really done much with my camera yet, aside from play with it... I went to Bowring park and shot some photos of the various birds there, that was kind of fun. And I managed to take a pretty nice portrait of my roommates Chad and Tim. Tim moved to Ontario last week, so this was a going away gift I guess you could say.

You can keep up with my photography at barastol.deviantart.com. It's a nice community website for all sorts of arts.

I received my ca lander last week, it came out pretty nice... I look forward to doing one this winter for next year as a gift for family. That should give me tonnes of time to get some nice photos.

I'm pretty sure no one is reading this, but if you are, let me know...

Take care,

Maybe it won't be 2 weeks before the next one.

Big Week

This week has been a pretty big one, I bought a new Camera last weekend, and today I got contact lenses. Yay!

The Camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3, and I'm pretty happy with it's performance. The 12x optical zoom lens is amazing. I'll post some pictures later.

I really needed new glasses, so I decided to also get contacts (for the first time) and I gotta say it's taking a while to get used to them.

I'm pretty sure it's just a little temporary adjustment period, I hope anyway, I love being about to see my peripharal vision :)

Going home to Grand Falls this coming weekend, can't wait to see Alexa, what a cutie :)

Well, best go get some stuff done.
