Playing with my new lens

Even though the weather is still crappy, crappy, crappy outside I have been playing a little with the new lens inside. The lighting was terrible so I had to change these to black and white to account for my missing flash.
Partial Credit
March 26, 2008 | Filed Under Personal | 1 Comment
For the last several years I have been creating and checking things off my Life List. This past Saturday I attempted another on the list. I auditioned to sing the National Anthem for the Columbus Clippers. (The Clippers are our AAA minor league baseball team affiliated with the Washington Nationals.) When I first got there I thought I was in real trouble because a little girl signed up before me and she had a resume with an 8X10 headshot. I didn’t know I needed a resume. Although, wouldn’t it have been funny if I handed them a resume with my seven years experience as an engineer? Dave and I both thought my audition went really well and we realistically thought I was in the top 5.
Today I received a letter from the Clippers organization. It read:
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for participating in our National Anthem Audition. Unfortunately, I have to inform you that we have decided to pursue other candidates.”
So, I’m giving myself partial credit for this Life List attempt. Maybe I’ll try again next year and have Dave sing harmony with me. Or maybe I’ll find another team (Destroyers? Blue Jackets?) to audition for.
New Toy

The Amazon fairies brought me a new toy yesterday. It’s the Canon 24mm f/1.4 wide angle lens. Dave and I only took about 10 pictures with it last night, but it is AMAZING! I can’t wait to use it.
