Occasional forays into thought

Well, here's a peek at one of the things I've been doing around campus lately. Every spring, Stanford explodes with color. Last year, I got a couple pictures with my regular camera, but then it takes forever to get all the film developed, and then to put it on-line I have to scan them, blah bla blah ad naseum - but now I have a digital camera. Oh yeah! And it has a pretty good macro feature, and I finally got a memory card, so on some weekends I've been going out and collecting pictures. Here are jusr a few. I plan to (soon) make a webpage devoted only to the pics of spring, but until then, these will have to suffice. Some are better than others - I usually take about 200 when I go out, and I would say I come back with 10 to 15 percent of those shots actaully being good. Some I've been told would be good enough to sell. We'll see. Anyway, enjoy. Click each picture if you want to see it larger.

Well, midterms are over now. I guess they took a lot more out of me than I realized because today after going down to the nursery school to do observations like usual, I came back home and fell asleep for most of the day. Actually missed my Human Behavior class, which is totally unlike me - the video of it will be online in a day or two though, so I can watch it on my computer. Right now I need to write two 4-5 page observation write-ups. I'm falling behind with school stuff/reading, and I need to do stuff for the psych conference that is coming up on the 15th. Dishes have piled up over the last couple of days - going to go attack them in a few. At least I can stay up for a while, since I slept most of the day.
I'm not going to put too much down right now. Too much to do, just wanted to do a little something. I hate it when my blog doesn't get any updates for weeks on end.
Getting closer to having enough pictures to put up a lower picture site. Each time I go out I take like 200 pictures or so, but you know how it goes - like one in twenty is good, or at least decent. Actually, got to show some of them to mom this week, and she said I am getting much better - that now she can start to be more critical of my work. I just know I love my macro abilities on my digital camera. Now I want to get a really nice one - like the $1,000+ kind - some SLR or something I think they're called. It's just fun. Now I just wish I could make some money off of it to finance the habit. I'll put the link on here when I get the site up - I got a couple new domains activated, so I have plenty of space for it. In the meantime, check out sensitivelight.com - the guy's work is amazing. He's got flowers, colored smoke, Birds of Prey, hoverflies (sounds weird, but they're amazing), and people - and a whole lot more. Just browse around.
That'll do it for me tonight. More later.
