A really great photographer in my area asked yesterday if I wanted to come over to his house so we could talk photography. So, of course, I jumped on the opporunity. Boy, am I glad I did. Darryl (~D113, [link] ) knows very much about photography. We talked over many things, including full manual control, custom functions, and aperture/iso/shutter speed combinations. To be honest, I really am glad that I did go to visit him, because he taught me things I never would have known on my own. I'm now confident enough to shoot in full manual control and RAW, with no problems.

Cheers, Darryl!

In other news, =morfinutza is having a contest of her own, to which I will be supplying one of the prizes. Do go and check it out at [link] . I think it'll be well worth your time.

Cheers all

So three drunk guys pissed on the Canadian National War Memorial in Ottawa. Their actions are under review. To be honest, their punishment should be to have 12 war veterans piss on them. Disrespectful fuckers.

North Korea tested 7 intercontinental ballistic missles (ICBM's) shortly after the space shuttle launched on July 4. For some reason, that's a bad thing, says prezzie Bush. So let me get this straight; the leader of a country which has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the moon, and the means to deliver them via ICBM's, is bitching because a much smaller country has created a similar weapon that, mind you, failed 2 seconds after launch. Also, keep in mind, that this country has not yet attained the ability to create nuclear weapons, but are on their way. Can you say hypocracy?

I had another thing I saw in the news today to bitch about, but I can't remember.

Cheers.
