Processing (365:130) – I awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of a crash, with kitties in the house you get used to it, and I turned over and went back to sleep. I didn’t give it a second thought until Ginger came into the bedroom this morning saying how sorry she was. In her hand was the Nikon, in two pieces.
Lighting test (365:128) – One word adequately summarizes my day – Meh. One-minute read, 6 pictures
EFM Retreat (365:127) – This week’s EFM class was held on a Saturday,so we got out of the classroom and spent the day in a cabin by the river. It was very nice to sit in the screened porch going through the lessons and exercises; a day of good company, conversation, discussions, food, and coffee. One-minute read

Gary and Ginger in ‘Urban Market’ (365:118) – Ginger returned from the school run with tidings of yard sales, not just any yard sale, but a church yard sale, so off we went. One-minute read, 3 pictures

Saturday and Sunday Lanie made coloured Easter Eggs. I was going to take a picture of them yesterday, but that would have involved moving the van out of the garage which doubles as my workshop and a sort of studio when needed. It’s been raining almost non-stop for two days, we’ve had over five inches of rain and Ginger’s parents have had over ten inches. I was alerted to the backyard flooding by the sound of water pouring into the crawlspace under the house. By that time it was several inches deep, and while I did the school run Ginger
Dirty Martini (365:114) — Easter Sunday. Up early, church, home, long afternoon nap, computer, and finally, dirty martinis. A sloppy picture deserves a faux Lomo effect.
I managed around three hour’s sleep, which I guess isn’t too bad. I was up at seven fifteen and helping out with breakfast. Before the end of the lock-in we held a short service in the church, and left for home at ten am. Instead of getting a nap, we went shopping, I spent some time at the computer and we had a visit from Dash and Leslie. At seven pm Lanie and I were back at church for the Easter vigil. Either we didn’t do these back in my days as a choir boy, or the choir never attended,
2.25am Youth group lock-in (365:112) – I was foolish enough to volunteer to chaperon at tonight’s Youth Group lock-in. One-minute read
Slideshow (365:111)
Once again I had a plan. Once again, unfortunately, it didn’t work out. Tonight I had a boys’ night out while the kids were at Youth Group. I was going to take advantage of this and grab my picture with the guys at Ebbets Bar. Unfortunately, there was an ‘event’ at Ebbets, so we went to the Springfield Micro Brewery instead. There were no tables near our booth to rest the camera on, so that idea didn’t work out. I had a great time with the lads. We ought to try and get out more often. In the end I

Beauty and the (out of focus) beast (365:106) – I had a self portrait planned for today. It involved putting the camera on the tripod, gathering the family, and taking a picture with Dash and Leslie. The plan was fine, the execution impossible, I was just too busy taking the wedding pictures to fit it in. I’m lucky I got one at all, as I took two shots and this is the fairly heavily edited best of the pair.
It’s Thursday and this isn’t a picture of me studying. Just a quick picture of my cut hair on the floor, before I settled down studying for the day. At class this evening we took some time out to go down to the hospital to see our classmate John.
Today we didn’t get finished at A fairly typical Sunday (365:100) — Church until just before twelve. So here it is, an end-of-the-day, late-night self-portrait. Tomorrow I’m off fishing with Tom; should be fun!
