we went to a campground on lake huron for amanda’s birthday. here’s how it went down
not the dreamcruise2006.08.22
it wasn’t the dreamcruse per-say, but the dreamcruise afterbirth. i took more pictures., they’re below the “more/section” as to not take up page space. people on dialup should cry. i also wrote my first photoshop action to save images for the web, but my way. 😈 2006.08.18
this past winter, i wrote a paper for my composition class about national security and civil liberties (Make Strange Bedfellows.) during my research, i learned about surveillance, what’s required to gain surveillance warrants, and how they’re different from warrants obtained for prosecution. there were other things, but warrants were most interesting to me. either way, it came down to this: if law enforcement agencies want to poke around, they need a warrant. someone else needs to know about it, and it’s usually a (FISA) court. you can make the warrant request three days after the surveillence has started, but you still need a warrant. Over 18,000 surveillance requests have been made over the 28 year life of the FISA bill thus far, however only four were denied. the point is that another branch of government (albeit a secret court) was aware of it. a federal judge ruled the wiretapping program was unconstitutional. why? no warrants were seeked.

My coworker Sunita asked me to take pictures of her husband, children, and herself this weekend. Amanda had a chance to try on two Indian outfits and I got to take pictures of her in one. sometime soon will be another shoot w/ the more traditional ‘saree’ gowns the women wear. (blog image sizes are messed up, *cough*some people*cough* complained about them being too wide. click the images to see the “album”) the 50mm f1.4 is a lot of fun. this shoot made me realize i could really benefit from a speedlight.� i could also benefit from attention to detail.� in the future, i will check for things like wiley hair and wayward necklaces. 2006.08.08
parting thoughts from a respected member of a photography forum i frequent:
shots from woodward2006.08.07
here’s some shots i snapped last night while waiting for ‘scripts at wallgreens. my lens doesn’t focus that fast, i’m new to panning, and i’m horrible about holding the camera still after 6 cups of coffee. 😆 some turned out ok though. |
