I ventured into the fine world of Indian cooking today. I attempted to prepare Chicken Tikka Masala with Madras Lentils and Coconut Rice. It came out a bit salty and not quite thick enough. I put double the amount of heavy cream by accident and I think my pinch of salt was a bit too much. All in all it was quite tasty dinner, and I will try it again. One thing to note, it takes a long time to prepare.

So I picked up a DSLR yesterday. I had been thinking about getting a DSLR for quite a while and I came upon a few extra bucks. I considered new and refurbished and decided to get the most i could for my money and picked up a Refurb’d Canon Rebel EOS XSi with a Sigma OS/AF 18 - 200mm Lens. I have been taking tons of useless photos and plan to continue to do so until I master this thing.

So, Look out for lots of useless pictures for a while…

Update:  Added a canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. Also picked up a tripod, slik pro 340dx.

Link above points to my HDR shots made with all of my new equipment.

Its been a while since ive posted. Im going through and making some tweaks currently. Ill be switching from my own personal photo gallery to my gallery on flickr, as well as adding some new tweaks for facebook / flickr / twitter ect to the home page.

coming soon…

I posted some holiday pictures up in my gallery. trying to devise a scheme to hijack some more fam photos from shutterly. I will update if my plan works.

Well we pulled it off, and quite possibly in world record time. In the matter of less than 30 days, I think 21 exactly, Liza and I were able to go from an offer to a home owner. We needed to lean of a few people for various things, but none to in depth or needing extra pressure. We closed December 29th and have been working non stop on all the little things to get it up to our standards. Ill be posting pictures, before and after soon enough.
