Second Pic of 300zx

Here’s the other side. This is a fun car, in great condition. It’s not turbo, so it lacks the muscle to merit any tickets for me (unless I try really hard).

I bought a used 1989 Nissan 300zx last week. This is a picture of it right after I washed it in the evening. There is another pic on the blog entry right after this.

Disney Trip 1 - 2007

For Christmas, Uncle Tom was very generous to the boys and gave them each a 1-year pass to DisneyLand Resort. When I returned from Africa and had a couple of days to recover from the long trip back, I decided we all needed a day at Disney. I have added a small photo album with each of us making a silly face in front of the Matterhorn. Click Here to see them.
Thanks Uncle Tom!

Photo Class

Recently, I (Jeff) participated in a hands on 3-hour “Basic Workshop” for photography. The course was taught by Rod Deutschmann, founder of “In Focus Learning Center.”
I must say that I was extremely happy with the amount of material he was able to teach me in just three hours. I’m no expert by any means, but I know how to use my camera in manual mode now! He taught the three basic ‘B’s’ of photography: 1. Black background 2. Blurry background & 3. Blown out background (all white). He also taught how to use a polarizer and why, as well as how to use panning (take a picture of a moving object and get all the background blurred by movement).
Above is just one picture I took during the class. Click here to see some more. Of course, I’ve edited them a bit with the computer, too. (Don’t expect to see anything award winning)
