New York and Texas.

August 28, 2009

Jenn and I went to New York for 4 nighs, and then down to Houston, TX for just over two weeks where we stayed with her dad.

I also finally figured out a colour balance i like.

I got a grip, and wanted to see just how big it made the camera look. And i stuck ont he flash for extra measure. The shutter release on the grip is *really* light…?

This isn’t photoshopped as much as it looks like it is. Houston Fine Arts Museum. It was great.

Alex caught a fish, then we let it go. I’d never been fishing before.
