Last week in Craig’s life…

August 3, 2009

This last week was a flurry of events captured in pictures – mostly related to me going to a couple of parties with friends. 

I also managed to get some of my backlog of pictures uploaded too…

Some of the Pictures after the Break...

Roughly In order of taking them…

On Monday, we had a good Farmer’s Market Run at HCRR…

The view from the Conductor’s car…

We saw a really long DoD Armor transport train come by – it actually got a crowd…

Wayne pulling one of the last runs for the day…

What would have been an otherwise disposed of picture, seems kind of cool with a couple of filters applied…

Went to Kalyne’s 17th Birthday Party…

(Full Album)

Just as the food was coming out, the thunderstorm knocked out the power – so we got to have the rest of the party with the ambiance of the emergency lights.  Doesn’t doo much for picture taking, though. Got a few decent ones.

And Finally, Saturday afternoon – Debbie’s housewarming party

(Full Album)

Since Debbie’s garage was cleaned out and I had yet to really try out my Studio equipment, I setup in Debbie’s garage and while the party was happening, people would come out and ham it up for the camera – especially when they started looking for Props in the Garage…

I really have some work to do to get better with setup and positioning the flashes and properly metering for that much light – but all-in-all, it worked out and I think people had fun.  Well, maybe except for Derek who was physically dragged into and restrained for a photograph.

Still here?  Wow – you really do care!

And all these pictures don’t include that Debbie, Maria and I helped Vreanie sand down year of age and restore one of the cabriolets for the Renaissance Festival…

No wonder I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon and can’t sleep now :)
