Rainy autumn afternoons leave me somnolent.

Several cups of coffee into the day I am struggling to keep track of what file I am editing and which services need to be restarted on the servers and my eyelids feel leaden, pulling my chin down to my chest.  So I took a short break to sort through photos from this weekend.

One thing that I am realizing in shooting with the 50mm is my utter lack of technical skill with the camera.  Good focusing that compliments the composition continues to allude me and I really need to carve out the time to really understand white balance bracketing.  However, I am getting better at editing, My ratio of keep to toss is improving as my eye grows more critical, though, the 1:36 ratio seems so far off as I try and climb past 1:6 but I suppose that I am too emotionally attached to most of my subject matter.

    That last one of Gabbi is quite interesting – is she asleep (there are pictures somewhere of me asleep at a highchair) or just investigating? :)

    Yeah, she is a quirky one that girl. She was investigating her chair and every once in awhile would pop up and breathlessly declare, “COOKIE, N-YUM, N-YUM” and then curl right back up. Silly!

    Cute :)

    We all do silly things when we’re little, gives our parents the chance for payback for embarrassing them ;)
