I take a lot of scenic photos. Nature seems infinitely easier than people. I did a few portrait shoots about two years ago, and it wasn't for me.
I've been trying to challenge myself lately, and branch out into portraits "for real" this time. So far, so good. I think I'm ready now.
There are a few more on my flickr. Click the photo, click around to view them.
I'm interested in your thoughts. |

Some friends of mine who just got married and whose wedding I couldn't make it to wanted to do some pictures. I thought this was an appropriate subject for a pair of newlyweds :)

| Adventures in cooking: Breakfast for 8 |
[Nov. 8th, 2009|12:45 pm] |
"Oh, no, Julie," I hear my long-time readers groaning. "You can't even manage a simple dinner for two! What on earth made you take on breakfast for eight?"
Funny story about that. You see, Marc's family generally gets together on Sunday morning for breakfast at Belle Provence. The problem is that they take up an 8-to-10 person table for nearly three hours, making the wait staff kind of annoyed at us. Last time, Marc and I were holding a 10-person table for forty-five minutes while we waited for everyone else to show up, and I decided I'd had enough. I (probably foolishly) offered our place for breakfast.
Actually, things worked out rather well, except for a brief incident with the fire alarm going off before the guests arrived while we were pre-cooking the hash-browns. (That wakes you up, I tells ya!)
Breakfast was bagels, cream cheese, and lox; eggs, bacon, and hash browns; oranges; tea and coffee; and cake. Yes, cake, to celebrate Marc's parents' anniversary on Friday.
It all came out quite well, if I do say so myself. The only thing I'd change for next time is to buy less stuff. We wound up using only one of the two packages of bacon; a dozen and a half eggs instead of the three we bought; and only about half the bagels Marc's parents brought. Oh, and the hash browns were kinda on the crispy side.
All told: I vote this one a success! Yay!
(Good Jewish boys get their parents an anniversary bagel instead of cake... just kidding! There's cake too!) |

I only have a 'point and shoot' style digital camera so I don't have a lot to work with but I managed to get this shot with it.

Today Kyn started his new Cyberpunk game. We're playing members of Japan's "Section 9," an agency devoted to dealing with domestic crimes, especially those involving cybertech and cybercriminals. Players so far are:
1. Marc, playing "Killswitch," the group's combat expert who (rather uniquely in today's day and age) abhors cybertech and refuses to have any installed.
2. Pat, playing "The Lieutenant," from a military forensics background and the group's spooky-creepy guy.
3. me (Julie), playing "Bones," a cybertech doctor with underworld connections.
As always in my games, I can't let good and quotable lines pass me by, so we've got lines of the night! Here we go!
( The Cyberpunk Diaries, Sunday, Nov. 7 )
That it's for this week! Join us next time for more cybered-up high jinks! |

| Camera & Lens question |
[Nov. 7th, 2009|03:17 pm] |
Hello,
I've been wanting to buy a zoom lens for my camera online, but I'm not all that knowledgable about cameras, so I was wondering if anyone here could help me. I have a Sears TLS camera, this isn't an actual picture of mine but it looks just like ( this... ) |
