...And to get everyone in the mood

... And my other post below....

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Heeee! Almost Fiddler's! One more day of work this week, and then..! Fiddles and Mandolins and Will's mom singin and playing behind the house and and and and and and and....

I finally got published in the Bristol Herald Courier this past Saturday. Unfortunately, our chief photographer got his shin and other bones in the area demolished by a high-school football player.. Fortunately (for me) I got to shoot football with a sweeet Nikon D2h the other night. My pictures weren't great, but they were okay considering I'd not ever used the camera, I was cold, and.. welll. It's been at least five years since I shot football.. The last being the Carolina Panthers when they really sucked with a manual focus 300/f4....... Either way.. pretty fun..

And a bit of me hates it. I've been looking into a digital back for all my Pentax lenses, and now, no matter what I get, it's not going to equal the dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit- (x41) of that Nikon bursting through somewhere near eight frames a second before it has to write all those pictures to the CF card. Oh my goodness that felt good... And there's no way I'm dropping $5000 on a D2h with a 80-200 2.8.. but Mmmmmmmmm... Lottery...

Can't wait to see everybody.. When the hell are Geoff and Stacy getting back? Isn't it about time?

Oh.. And I started Donna a blog... Don't know if she'll like what I created, but she's not seen it yet.. nor does she even know about it yet.. bellamammal.blogspot.com... We'll see!

FIDDLER'S!
