If anyone has tried to take photography at night you will know how difficult it is. I told Susan that the Full Moon was upon us tomorrow night; but, tonight was going to be spectacular. In the old days of shooting film - you only had 36 exposures per roll of film. Develope the rolls - make a contact sheet - take a loupe and select the shots. Then off to the darkroom for the adjustment -dodging - burning.Times have changed - technology has changed. Now, we shoot as many as we want - download into Photoshop and make adjustments - and Voila . . . the photo is there. Michael and I were on the balcony and decided to shoot Singer Island tonight. Michael has been really getting into timed photography - I said, "Michael, show me what you have learned - Michael is the best - Pratt Institute Whiz-Kid - Picks up anything/makes art. Wayne is old VCU/WIU - was the Whiz-Kid - needs to learn new technology and new techniques - Full moon night - we had our Nikon Digital cameras - you can be quite cavalier as we have 750 photo possibilities with the 2 gig chip. Michael is giving me lessons. The shots were non-stop after I got the hang of the new interface. The Moon is rising and we are shooting - you can hear the shutter and Michael explains, " the computer in the camera is assimilating the information. I'm here to tell you, "You can teach an old Dog new tricks".

this is from our friends' Alva and Francisco's balcony who just moved into the other tower. It was a beautiful night to send off our beautiful friend into "the wild blue yonder" We miss you so much already Olivia!!
Wayne it was "No Problemo Amigo" due to our love for photography. And you have taught me just as much...
Ok, struggling to learn here but enjoying every minute. With computers I became a digital freak now I want to be creative digital freak. Was awed by picture, please excuse any spelling errors - I was caught up in the moment. I too am convinced old dogs can learn new tricks Wayne - party on and if you come up for Christmas be prepared for a million questions.
Love your blog guys,
Rick and Cathy
