Noooooo, it's not New Year's Eve.....







Now that were are officially homeowners, we can only afford the cheap stuff.





A sneak peak:

Many Apologies for this hideous Blogger "NavBar" that you now see up top. It is a byproduct of Google taking over Blogger. When you upgrade to the new Google version they "say" that your template won't change. Well...except for the NavBar that you have already removed. -sigh- eventually somebody will come up with code to get rid of it.

They say it's better if you do it with the lights off.

Gord Downie

From our archives: G. Downie of The Tragically Hip, Dec 31 2004 New Year's Eve concert. I forgot about these pics. Here I am running around trying to master a D-SLR and this came from our old 3.1mp Fuji point-n-shoot. Neil you better dust that thing off and get shooting.

If it aint broke.....

Home early from work so I decided to put the lights up on the tree. We got the tree "straight enough" last night, but this morning I thought "hmmmm I wonder if I can just tweak it a bit...." -Sigh- Now I have to wait for Melissa to wake up and help me put it back. I can't wait to hear what she will have to say about this.

Work Work Work

«« prev | next »»

I swear this is how things are starting to look at work. Too many midnight shifts. I haven't had a chance to get out much and shoot anything. I think I need to go, take a walk, and take some pics. Miss Shanghai Cowgirl, I am looking in your direction.....

Mom's Stairs

«« prev | next »»



Sorry for the lack of posts this week. Been sorta busy. Paid a visit out to Mom and Dad's though. This is a shot from the stairs leading to my parents basement. Mom took the rod iron from one of those gazebo/canopy thingies and made a pretty stunning decoration. -Ryan

Shitty Car

I almost missed this one. Barely got the lens cap off in time, hence the dodgy exposure and composition. And it looks like I am plugging somebody else's company. Oh well.

Ok, Blogger was being a pain yesterday. So here is yesterday's and then today's post.



I think one of my neighbours is working for SteamWhistle Brewery.



I don't know what posessed me to make the gas cap the focal point of this picture. Just thought it looked kinda cool I guess.

It has been a slow photo and posting week. We've been extremely busy. Perhaps this post will give you a HINT. Give us a shout if you want more details.
