Is this it? Probably not, but it's pretty :). So I returned to school this week and completely forgot about this weeks photo.

There is so much for the outdoor adventurer to do here like biking, hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, snowboarding, skiing, snowmobiling, x-country skiing, rock climbing, wake-boarding, dog-sledding and probably more activities I can't think of right now.

My girlfriend loves to eat healthy and even writes a blog that showcases some of her best dishes made healthier and easy to make for college students. I...like hamburgers. What can I say...I love the combination of beef, buns, bacon, bleu cheese, and bbq sauce(what an alliteration).

I purchased a two light strobist kit in the mail a couple of weeks ago and it arrived recently so I had to learn how to use it. How did I do this? Well, I have been reading a lot lately, some scientific, some technical, and others artistic. The first thing that pushed me into this strobist movement is probably the man who coined the term, David HobbyBPerkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00102541906821242019noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6827452359885300370.post-66374326486999257852010-02-22T09:37:00.001-08:002010-02-22T09:48:39.549-08:00Colorful ReflectionsSo this week I did something that has been in the back of my mind for a long time...water droplets on a cd. I used my macro setup and the light from my room for this shot. It was pretty simple and the hardest part was keeping the tripod and water still enough to get a clean shot.

So this is a little late but seeing as how my total view count per day is up to .001...I don't think you'll mind.

I started the photo part on time but didn't think about blogging it until just recently. This week was inspired right before christmas when I went to go buy some flowers for a shoot. The shoot was a set I was doing inspired by the TV series Dexter.

But now I'm back with my newly restored passion for photography along with a great way to stay motivated to take pictures all year round.
