What is this, you ask?  Have I been hired by major pharmaceutical companies to photograph their products? I wish! Unfortunately, these 3 drugs have pretty much been what I have been living off of the last few days.  I caught a nasty cold that has really put me down.  This is my 4th day now, and although I’ve gotten out of the house (to buy these meds) I am seriously getting cabin fever! It’s finally nice outside, and I’m too sick and tired to go anywhere!

PS - To fellow photographers: Do you find that you must take a picture of something when you get sick? Camera withdrawal? It’s the first time I’ve felt it, and it is rather strange...I find myself taking pictures of random pill bottles. Maybe I’m going crazy!

Just a quick post today! This last weekend I went into the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) to go see a concert with some friends. I had a great time! Too bad they wouldn’t let me take my camera into the concert, I would have had some great pictures to put up! Oh well! What I have today is a picture of my friend Annie and her sister Heather. Annie doesn’t get to visit her sister as often as she would like, and at one point Annie had to prove to us that she was capable of lifting her big sister up and demanded that I take a picture so we had proof! hehe! So just for you Annie, here is proof that you can indeed lift your big sister.

A few days ago, I spent the whole day outside without a coat! It was in the mid-40s for the first time this year, there was no wind, and the sun was shining. It was a glorious day! Then yesterday was March 20, the first day of spring, and something strange has happened.  Apparently nobody told the weather it is spring now! It snowed all night long! Sorry these aren’t more exciting (I have to work today, so no running out anywhere for me right now), I just shot these outside on the balcony. I suppose a layer of fresh snow might give me some interesting ideas to try to take pictures of, but mostly I am just wishing spring would get here already!!!

I took this shot because it’s like I am back in the “jail” of winter. hehe! Sorry, it’s hard to come up with fresh ideas at work!

In the summer of 2006, I went to a graduation party at Itasca State Park in Minnesota! The party itself was fun, but I also enjoyed the state park as I had never been there before.  Itasca State Park is where the Mississippi Headwaters are located.  The Mississippi, which is over a mile wide when it gets to the Gulf of Mexico, starts out in a little pool so small you can wade right through it! Here are some of the pictures I got while in the park!

And of course we need a picture of the Graduation Boy himself, decked out in a hilarious T-shirt someone gave him for the occasion! hehe!

I don’t know about you, but I personally find Mountain Dew’s advertising to be hilarious and very effective! But then again, I guess I am the target market they’re aiming for, aren’t I?  The other day I was walking into a gas station when I noticed this much older Mountain Dew ad still up in the window, and I just had to take a picture of it.  It makes me laugh!
