I just realized tonight that on each and every post on both Expressions & Reflections and Through Our Lense, I've been linking to my SmugMug account incorrectly. Here is the link as it should be:

taken April 14, 2007 (cropped)

On March 25th I was in Stange Park taking some nice shots of a couple of friends of
mine. While there I attempted to capture these mallards 8 or 10 times. They are very shy and smart and left me with only 3 or 4 good photos, so I went back on April 14 and sat on various shorelines for about an hour and a half. While I was there they were preening themselves. Further proof that I need that D40x. ;) Enjoy the remainder of the photos here: Stange Park Ducks.

...bedtime...

just a couple of quick notes to all of you before I hit the hay tonight...

about my photography:
All of the photos on this site are original to me and are unaltered in any way (other than cropping in less than 2% of the photos). Most of the photos (and nearly all of the photos from the last two years) have been taken with a Kodak Easyshare 7430 4mpxl camera.
I do shoot plenty of photos other than the ones that are listed on this blog (like some shots of the new Dudley Building here in Wausau). You can check all of them out on my Smugmug account.

about my blog:
I have no clue how many of you look at my blog, or who you are. Leave a comment or two if you would like to. Also, if you use an RSS reader (Google Reader, NetNewsWire, etc.) tell me how you like it.

good night.

about expressions

I enjoy photography; the beauty, the art, the expression, the memories. It helps me relax and reflect on what's important.
