I am back from last week’s road trip to Dallas.  In an earlier post I talked about the first night where we drove from Albany to Buffalo.  The next day was our longest drive of the trip.  Our trip was from Buffalo to Louisville, Kentucky.  It took us around 8.5 hours with a quick stop for lunch.  We still had enough time to enjoy dinner at a nice Cuban restaurant and head downtown.  We went to an area called 4th Street Live.  In case you couldn’t figure it out, it’s on 4th St. in the city.

My road trip to Texas started today after work.  Around 3:00 today I realized that I wasn’t going to get everything done that I wanted to for the day.  Actually I realized that around 10:00 but I tried to convince myself it could happen. 

I did take a break after lunch to open a package I was expecting.  It contained my new Canon 50mm F1.2 lens.  I will write a post after spending some time with the lens but after mounting it on my Canon 5D Mark II, all I can say is WOW.  This lens/body combination just feels right in your hands.  The weight seems perfectly balanced.  (more…)

I know I have posted in about a month, it has been a busy summer.  Weddings, work, enjoying the nice weather once the month of rain was over has gotten in the way of posting some new content.  Never fear, I have some new projects and ideas planned which I will be sure to post about here.

Some of you  probably know that my brother is moving down to Texas  to accept a promotion at his company.  The time has finally come, he will be leaving in a week.  Instead of letting him drive down straight through I decided to turn it into a little road trip and make the drive down with him.

I haven’t been to this part of the country so I figured I would make the most it.  We are planning on extending the trip by a day or two so we have some time to stop and enjoy sites along the way. (more…)
