So tonight I am going out to QXTs with a bunch of friends from ren fair, this should be fun.

I think I’ve decided on leaving my camera at home. I haven’t heard back from one of the event coordinators about whether or not I’d be allowed to bring in a professional level camera, and even so, I think I may want to drink and have fun tonight. We’ll see ( Read more... )

It’s been a while since I’ve updated, but not entirely too much has occurred.

I’ll be going to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire next weekend, so I’m looking forward to that.

I also learned how to take HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos with my camera and I’m looking forward to taking some good landscape shots. I only wish I knew about this last ( Read more... )
