Five Thousand Words
I’ve been quite the shutter bug since I finally got around to buying myself a digital camera again after I lost the last one in California. I try to find any opportunity to take photos now just to fulfill the secret desire to be a decent photographer.
I switched from Flickr to Picasa Web Albums a few months back (which I recommend everyone do, they offer 2gb of photo space and unlimited albums without the 200-picture restriction Flickr has), and I’ve gotten quite the collection built up.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s five thousand of my recent words:
Brackenridge Park is right across the street from my apartments, and I finally remembered to take my camera with me on a few trips to the park. This was from a rose bush right outside one of the main entrances. The light was just right in that part of the day that it made the whole picture glow.

This was taken during St. Louis Day in Castroville, TX in August of this year. We had just gone through one of the longest periods of rain in Texas history and the river that ran alongside the campground was still very high by this point (you can see it running behind the musicians). The weather, despite it being August in Texas, was quite pleasant. Very fun day.
Bee the Wonder Dog, of course. This was also August, and you can see how much green is coming out of the ground in an otherwise dry spot of the yard. I caught her just as she was blinking, and it makes it seem like she’s laughing.
And of course I had to include the mandatory self-portrait, taken on Saturday at the first annual DewaldFest in Lytle, TX. I was (again) called out of DJ retirement to help celebrate my friend Xian’s 30th birthday, and had a blast playing music for everyone all night.
