New car!

January 6, 2010

My beloved 1993 325i BMW finally bit the dust, so it was time to go car shopping.  We settled on a 2009 Subaru outback with 10,000 miles, what a great way to start off the new year!  Sorry about photo quality, they were taken at night with the camera on my Blackberry.

New Year Updates

January 4, 2010

Happy 2010 everyone!  2009 was a great year for me, I learned a TON about photography and a TON about  blogging.  2010 is shaping up to be a great year, I plan on continuing the wallpapers on a monthly basis (instead of weekly) similar to David duChemin’s blog, and restarting my “Monthly Portrait” project.

Here are some statistics from 2009, I hope you find them as interesting as I did.

  • 31,117 People viewed by blog last year
  • The busiest day was November 22nd, 232 people visited
  • The most popular search engine term was “Storm”
  • There are an average of 19 subscribers

In other news, I got a new lens!  I saved up some holiday money to purchase the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.  I can’t wait to put it through the paces.  I know very little about macro photography and am anxious to learn.

A big thanks to all my viewers!
