Selective

I know it's an odd title, but I'm in an odd mood so I guess it fits. I had fun yesterday for a half-hour or so, I made my son put on his grad-suit so that I could take some nice photos of him in it. His grad-night was actually 2 months ago but it was a cool, rainy day with not much in the line of workable backgrounds for photos, so yesterday was such a nice cool, sunny day that I figured he'd be fine in his suit for a little while and not get too uncomfortable, and we used our yard as the backdrop. Then I spent another 3 hours or so on editing and I really think they turned out well. I posted some on my Facebook but because of the compression that they use on that site for photos I really don't like how they all look on there. Anyway, today is a different beast of sorts, woke up to  another morning of my wife rushing out of bed, she had the whole week off but always seemed to have something that pulled her from our warm comfortable bed, makes a guy feel unappreciated to say the least. Then I get called an "old fart" by her, presumably because I'm not interested in going to this whole camping/fun day weekend the church I used to go to is putting on, I've cut ties with it, why would I want to go? Anyway, feeling slighted and unappreciated and wishing there was some other place I could be right now... can't wait to move to the city where I could just go out for a walk and have a coffee somewhere, or stay over night somewhere else and see how much my absence was felt. I swear sometimes I'd not be missed at all... oh well there I go again getting all melancholy and stupid sounding, well it is my blog so I can say what I want. Anyway thanks for reading and letting me vent a little, I'll leave you with one of the photos I took of my son in his suit, he's such a handsome strapping young lad :) 

Almost There

Hard to believe that 4 months have almost gone by, but then it's hard to believe that I'm starting my 3rd and last year in Graphic Design. At some point I'd like to take another year, something in communications to get my Bachelor of Arts Degree. I'm really looking forward to this year, should be a lot of fun, I don't want to miss out on anything.

Pretty Soon

My oh my oh my...
Very, very hard to believe that we are already a week into August, where has the summer gone? On the upside, I am now on vacation, and there is only one month left before school starts again. I'm very excited to get back at it and finish. It's been a pretty intense couple of years so far but it will be very very worth it. My family and I are looking forward to moving to a larger centre of life, from very very small town to a bigger town or city. I can't wait to get my career going, and have in fact already started somewhat as I've been doing freelance work for a local print company, which has been interesting to say the least :) 

Anyhoo, the anticipation of moving is very nerve racking, but we'll get there :) Here's another photo I took on my walkabout at my wife's mom's place. 

Vacation

Well first day of August is here already, which means that my 3rd year of Graphic Design will be starting soon. But until then I plan on making the most of this month and enjoying each day. Went to my in-laws today for lunch and brought my camera along to get some nice shots, only to find that a lot of things I wanted to get pictures of (old farm equipment etc...) were gone, replaced by much junk. So anyway I made the best of the situation and came across an old 1960's International dump truck. Took some nice pics of it, and really liked how this close up of the headlight turned out.
