What can I tell y'all. We were having a memorial service for Al today and I went outside for a smoke and there was this tree rat. There weren't any rocks handy to throw at him so I took a picture instead. I have no shame.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's terrible. My schedule is all jammed up and I can't get out to shoot. I walk around with my D2X and take pictures of doorknobs. With luck I'll be getting out this weekend or Monday the latest and do some real shooting.

    I was thinking of you when I took this pics as their titles suggest. :D
