January 10 2010 – my 365
Today we finally cracked open our Wii Fit+ that Susie got for her birthday. We both did our tests and wow! We are both off. Yes, I’m sure some people are going to tell me that this is just a computer game and it’s not true, but you’ve got to start somewhere. So we’ve both been trying out a few different “games”. Man, my hips already hurt. I tried some Yoga, I haven’t done Yoga for 10 years. It felt good in that hurting kind of way.
Tomorrow I’m going to try a few new games and options, then I’m going to design my routine. If I actually see some results, then I may share them here. How about that for a Wedding Photography blog eh! I bet you don’t find that kind of info anywhere else. You don’t just get great images here, you get to see me working out. lol.
Thanks for stopping in again everyone.

I didn’t get home until far too late last night. Had our post Help Portrait wrap-up dinner.
January 8th 2010 – my 365
Tonight we taught Desiree how to play Wii. She only wanted to play Bowling. She learned really fast and her high score of 93 almost beat out mine of 95. In case you didn’t know..she’s 4.

I hope I don’t drive everyone crazy with my off camera flash, but I’ve got to admit I’m very excited.
Tonight I was planning on doing a ring shot. I’m sure you all remember how much I love ring shots from last year. However, I accidently took this shot and guess what. I thought it was cool enough to share. So no ring shot tonight, probably tomorrow. Also, this shot was straight out of the camera.
Camera: Rebel xt Lens: EFS 17-85mm f/5.6 1/160iso 200
full manual on the flash(as you can see)
January 6th 2010 – my 365 – Gear Wednesdays
So tonight is a shot taken with my new Alien Bee Triggers/Remotes. Not only is this going to be part of my 365, this is also the start of a new segment for me. Gear Wednesdays. I’m going to talk about the gear I used, my setup and settings.
I’m posting both a before and after picture tonight to show what it looks like with flash and without flash. Both pictures have the exact same settings on the camera:
F/5 1/160 ISO 200These were taken with my good old Rebel XT and my EFS 17-85mm lens. The Flash is a Canon Speedlite 430EX mounted on a tripod behind the boxes. I didn’t take a setup shot tonight, oops. Also, I know it’s not technically the best picture you’ve ever seen. I was just excited to have received the triggers this morning.
There was some ambient light from above, but as you can see in the second picture it didn’t do anything to the pictures. The Flash overpowered it significantly. There was only the speedlite behind the boxes and slightly below. It was on manual control and full power.
January 5th 2010 – my 365
So tonight I made Beef & Broccoli. I also added some Fresh Basil. Instead of Rice we made Egg Noodles. Less Calories and less carbs than Rice…or so we think. Who knows. Either way it tasted great and we have leftovers for Thursdays. I’d say for tomorrow but we are taking out a friend for a birthday lunch tomorrow. 
Misc Monday – January 4th edition
Wow. So much to talk about. I could recap 2009, but my goal for Misc Mondays is to talk about all the great stuff from this past week. I’m not sure how many loyal readers I have, but for those of you that do follow me, thank you!
December 28th to Jan 3rd
First up – Happy New Years. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New years. I ended up driving from Burlington to St-Donat. It only took 8.5 hours

I had a great dinner at Le Milsa with my friends from Belden. Check it out

I started a 365 challenge for 2010. My goal is to post 1 photo per day. It may be from my camera or my iPhone. Here’s the first post

I love my google reader. I think it has replaced the newspapers for me. I sometimes forget to see what is going on in the world because I am only reading what’s in there. I think I’ll have to put down my computer and my ipod and maybe listen to the radio or read a newspaper for 2010.

I love twitter and I love my kids. They say the craziest things. So I started a new spot to write down everything they say.

Well, that’s it for now. I know it’s not much, but stay tuned as always. Lots of great things coming down the pipe.
Also, as one of my photographer(J*) friends says, posts are always better with a photo, here’s an old school photo of me from when I had hair.
January 4th 2010 – my 365
Another one of my Christmas presents. Again taken with my iPhone. This is my new Lowepro camera bag. Much better than my old Lowepro/Canon bag.

My van is green. Here it’s white.
This is what salt does to your green van.
January 2nd 2010 – my 365
So this was on our way back from Quebec. Nothing much to shoot when driving for 8 hours. Also, I shouldn’t shoot while driving. Oops…
Also, these are straight out of my iPhone(I love my wife).
My 365 challenge 2010
So I’m starting my 365 challenge again this year. I know I messed up last year and abandoned the project, but this year I will not fail. So here’s the first 4 posts, sorry they are not 1 per day yet.
So here goes:
