Over a Year?

Over a year has passed since I have updated this blog. So much has happened and I have gone so many places. Mostly to Florida. I think I have been to the Sunshine State 5 or 6 times since the last time I posted something. It all started in February 2011 when I went to Orlando for a work conference (AOTMP). That was a fast trip but I still was able to get to Disney World and to Universal/Islands of Adventure. Both parks in 2 days. Both parks for the first time in my life. I have become addicted to Disney World since then and go as ofter as I can. I have been 4 times now but only to Magic Kingdom and once to Epcot. My favorite is Magic Kingdom but next time I am going to Animal Kingdom (next time = a week from this post).

I have been to Islands of Adventure two times and my favorite parts of the park are Seuss Landing and The Hulk roller coaster. I like Hogsmeade but the other two are what brought me back the second time. Those two things/places... and Mythos Restaurant. YUM!

But not only have I been to Orlando, I have been to St. Petersburg and Tampa. Both are places I would like to live one day. I can really see me working and living in Tampa but also in St. Pete. Either would be fine with me. =D Just gotta find a job and not just any job, one that I am able to do what I am doing now. =D

 

What else have I been doing except for traveling back and forth to Florida? I have been going around Ft Worth and Dallas getting some pretty good shots of random things and people.

This is from the Nasher Sculpture Garden in Dallas:

This one is from The Kimbell in Ft Worth. I was having fun with shadows:

 

The next few are from a "Quasi-Victorian Picnic" which was held recently (yesterday in fact) at White Rock Lake in Dallas. It was a friend's birthday and she likes themed parties. It was very fun and lots of colorful people were there.

And my "signature" depth of field shot which I tend to take many like this in all different kinds of places. This one was right next to the picnic area of the Victorian party.

 

This one was taken some time ago at a Disco v. Retro party in Dallas. I love the lighting here of one of my friends in a big blond wig on the dance floor:

 

I think that is about it. Lots of photos on my hard-drive. I have a terabyte external drive now which I need to transfer all of these over to so I don't lose them in case of a system crash and to make more room on my actual PC. I am sure there will be more pictures to come. I will update more often. Promise.
