passion or obsession?!?

I made a drive down to Denver yesterday to FINALLY pick up my Sony A55 camera from the repair shop. Oh how I've missed her. She wasn't too broken but the clip that holds the SD card was no longer working. A month later and a trip to Texas to get fixed, and she's back! 
One of the passions/obsessions that Troy and I share is taking pictures. We love it so much so that we have a bit of a hard time sharing one camera. So, we have two. Troy's always been a Nikon kinda guy so he has the Nikon T3100, he use to have the D80 (which got stolen) a bit of a step down for him but I still think he takes incredible pictures, he's got amazing composition skills! 
Troy did the research and the other camera (my camera) we have is the Sony A55. Voted the 2010 Camera of the Year by PopPhoto.com, a great resource website for anything and everything cameras. The one unique thing about my Sony is that it has it's stabilization within the body of the camera as opposed to the lens of the camera. Making buying lens's much more inexpensive then lets say for Troy's camera where the stabilization is in the lens. But that's just one of the MANY cool things about this camera.

I think I take pictures of just about anything and of the 1000's of picture I take I usually only like a hand full of them. But the more I take the more I learn about composition and what makes a picture a "great" picture! Still doing lots of reading to figure out the full functionality of my camera and loving every minute of it. 

Happy Tuesday! Love and gratitude!

Meaning To....

I've been meaning to post pictures of the finished wall at the office for a while now but it seems like every time I remember I'm either not near a computer or something else gets in the way. Well ...here it is, we decided not to do different patio layouts on top, those are going in a different spot but we did put some large slabs on top so we could display our furniture. Now, on to the next 1,000 different projects I have in mind for around here... only that's going to have to wait till tomorrow, the lil one is not feeling well so my mama went and picked her up from school and I'm heading to the doc with her in a few hours to get her checked out. Don't think it's anything major just chest congestion , runny nose but no fever. Nothing a little rest and TLC wont fix! I love the fact that everything is finally starting to turn green. Green makes every thing look better! :)
