Yeah back again for another moment. Seems I have the need to get things out in the open. It has again been a very busy few weeks. There never seems to be an end to the things that are popping into our daily world. Do this do that. Lots and lots of things and yet nothing seems to be stopping us from getting through the days work. Work is a big push it is suddenly spend this budget and get it in before you take a break. Then it is "oh are you checking emails when you are on vacation?". Uh, NO! that is why they call it vacation people. I find it hard to think that I am working like crazy to meet short deadlines and high demands to only find you want me to what? Work on my vacation? I really do not think so. I plan to vacation on my vacation in other words sleep in and enjoy my time doing the things I love to do with those I care about. That said I am looking forward to holidays. I am also hoping not to have anything to do with work. I really feel like it has been a great bit of work completed in a short timeframe then it is time for a break to recharge. So sorry guys not looking at my email.
Moving on. I have been looking at things lately for moving my negatives over to digital format. It has been a bit of an experiment. I like my father inlaw are taking a slightly less traveled path for this process. I will see how things go and if the results are anywhere worth talking about I will let you know. Not because I care to share this activity but I really think those that put a little bit of useful information out there on the internet for people like me should get something back. So I will try and add some useful content on the web.
Other things on my mind, well not a lot of stuff really. I have been trying to find a way to look at getting more out of my picture taking trips. Seems like there is a lot opportunity coming up so I have put some effort into trying to find some interesting locations to go and shoot photos. I am hoping to maybe get out to some different places over the christmas holidays and see what can be found. If I can't leave town then I will explore the city a bit more. Couple of areas I want to explore a bit, night shots. I am thinking maybe some longer exposures. We will see. Also I would like to do a few more HDR images. They have become more of a favourite for me. I enjoy making them and then seeing the depth in the image.
Moving away from the world of cameras lets get into the concept of what is happening in our house. We have torn out the main wall. Gone. not pretty right now and definitely not really moving forward. Biggest challenge to this is that we need to figure out our plan. Trust me we did the thing we felt we would never do that is to find a person to help us lay it out. They did give us a plan but that plan is really not sitting very clearly in our minds. The more we think about it the less we feel it is 100% what we want. So we are sitting on the plan for bit and then we said lets think about the order in which the work is done and how much can we do if we needed to move ahead a little at least to get the flooring and ceiling done. We have the hardwood and we are doing that install ourselves. But the ceiling work is a job for pros that can mud and sand the drywall so nice and smooth. So we will see probably move forward in January a little bit but I am certain the layout will change. Our main designer that we have used Mickey was not really looking at the kitchen area as that is a specialty but we used a person she suggested and I think that has not panned out quite as well. So we will move on and probably get Mickey to come back in.
So with that I have to go back to working on some patches on servers at work and probably should pay some attention to the systems. But have a great week hope to post a few more times prior to the end of the year!
