So much to talk about:
1) I've moved into an apartment. It's absolutely awesome. I don't have any cable or internet yet (posting this at work tsk tsk), but I plan on taking care of that when I get home from Florida in a couple of weeks.
2) Tomorrow (Friday) I'm heading down to Florida with my parents to visit my grandpa. He's turning 90 next week and most of the family is going down there to celebrate.
3) Last friday I did a photo shoot with Bethany's sister, Elyse.
She wanted photos for a cd she made of her playing the piano for her mom's birthday. I was pretty excited to do this for her. It was a lot of fun, I got to take advantage of the wireless transmitter in my 7D and do some off-camera flash shots. I didn't have a light stand so I used my cousin Tom as an assistant. Also, since I didn't have a light stand for the shoot through umbrella that I used, I duct taped it to the flash and it worked pretty swell. (Only the first image was shot with a flash, off to camera right. The other two are just natural light)
4) Sunday, the 14th was my birthday. I'm 24 now. I'm an old man.
5) Apple finally came out with Aperture 3. I downloaded the 30-day trial and tried it out for a good half hour before determining (even more so) that I need a new laptop. The combination of my large image files (up to 20MB!) and the new software are just too much for my 6+ year old MacBook Pro. I've read a couple reviews that the new software is a bit on the buggy side to begin with. Perhaps I'll start seriously saving for a new laptop... which is going to be kind of hard right now with rent and such.
6) If you're from Ypsilanti, this is a pretty fantastic video:
