Times Square Kiss... Okay I admit Sunday was Lazy

So its Sunday and usually I use my Sunday to try out some new DIY on the net and give it my spin on it…  Well this week has been an unorganized one at best.  From a Pug that can’t handle the Texas heat and me getting stung by a bee and being a baby about it. (Heck you get stung in the hand by a bee not once but twice, I still want to know what  heck they were doing on the door knob.  To a brand new TV (In my defense the money I had spent was on necessities for the most part.  (Washer and Dryer,  Sick Pug, Paying off Credit Cards.  Woo-Hoo I am debt Free sans a 100 charge on the Star Card for a new pair of ACUS grrrrr). 

So the day has been spent on finishing projects around the house that still aren’t finished.  LOL Sundays are to be LAZY!  We have so been that to! 

Instead I will leave you with this!

Alfred Eisenstaedt's famous photo Times Square kiss is one of my favorites and I am a black and white Junky…  I remember at 14 years of age signing a petition to stop Ted Turned from colorizing some famous black and white movies.  Casablanca was one on the list.  Now don’t get me wrong to colorize a black and white photo like mygrapefruit did takes talent.  But something…  I dunno... Makes the image have a less of  a impact IMHO.  What do you think?

Happy Fathers Day

Wow my life has so gotten away from me  but here is my Happy Fathers Day!!!!!   I would get sentimental on you all but all I have to do is see this picture an tear up a little... Gosh I am getting so sappy in my old age....  But to the coolest dad who in my mind can do anything.  He also knew I could do anything!

My Mom, Dad and Me at Basic Training Graduation!  (LOL my dad could soooo be a real  bearded Santa Claus)

Field Trip

So I got woken up yet again to take more pictures for my husbands unit. Seems that a group of 5th graders we coming on a field trip and they needed me to take pictures again. It was lunch at the local DFAC (dinning facility) and then to the FT Hood 1st Cav Museum. The museum itself is pretty neat.  Out front there are tons of Military Vehicles.  Beware though that you have to get onto a military post to see it.  You will need either military pass or insurance, drivers license and vehicle registration.  

Thrown Under the Bus!

Okay for those who have no idea what that means check out the Wikipedia entry.  Honestly I had never heard of the term until I joined the Army.  I have been in my military career a couple of times thrown under the bus by friends....  But never by my husband till today.  GEORGIA GIRL RULE NUMBER 1: When life give you lemons make a Lemon Drop Martini.

That's what I did..

The hubby had volunteered me to photograph a Field Day event.  He told me that they needed an extra pair of hands and if I wouldn't mind coming down for a while.  I agreed and he suggested taking my camera just in case....   I got there and well.....  It wasn't a just in case moment.

Now standing there I was extremely nervous I haven't really taken photos in Iraq.  Nor did I have the equipment to get what I thought would be good pictures.  Shaking off my nervousness I remember lessons that have been drilled in to my head since I started taking photos.

ONE: Never say no to a photograph opportunity,  I did get to try my new telephoto lens which allowed me to get some great shots with out getting in anyones way.
TWO:  Practice makes perfect.  Like anything else you have to practice to get better.

Though I am totally reluctant to show you all the pictures of the kids...  here are some pictures of the BIG ACU Clad Kids



If your wondering the top left corner is the hubby.
