Feel that little earthquake? That was the heavy sigh of a woman who has finished her last grant application of the year. I don't have the energy to hop up and down.
Jeff was the official photographer on our trip. What you need to know is that he doesn't like to take pictures of scenery and he requires people to be in every shot. People meaning me. So if you don't believe that I look angry or insane in the majority of photographs taken of me (ever) then you'll want to check out the gallery. I didn't remove the ones I hated, they kind of make me laugh. I particulary love the series at the end where we were waiting for my parents to come back from their dive trip. And that lovely red on me is not sunburn. It is an allergic reaction to the SUN. You know the big glowy orb in the sky that's necessary for life? Only I could accomplish that one. It looks much worse than it felt.
I forgot to say earlier that when we went diving my parents gave us the excursion as an engagement present. Wasn't that sweet?

I guarantee, 10 years from now, you'll be looking at photos of just scenery and will say to yourself, "Where the hell is this place? Was I even here? Why do I have this?" and you'll throw them out. Any one will tell you that photos should have a subject. You make a good one. Also, what is Treading Water? What kind of direct-to-video notification listserve are you on?
could you send me the password to your gallery? :-)
hey, what's the login info for the gallery?
Me too... may I have the password? I thought I already had it, but I can't find the email.
Thanks!
I'll be needing that password. Because I am an idiot and have deleted your latest e-mail to me with it. Sorry.
