Wow as Wes so kindly pointed out it’s been quite some time since I updated my site. So a quick update here on the status of things, until I have some new photography related things to post.

As most of you probably already know over the holidays I was offered a new job at Colin’s company, much to the dismay of people at my current job I accepted this position. Hopefully it turns out to be a good decision, I think it’s a good move for me as I’ve been at this place for 3.5 years. And as such I’m starting to get a little bored there, so I’ll give the new place a try for a year or two. If it turns out I don’t enjoy it I’m sure Telvent will take me back.

As for other major happenings there hasn’t really been alot, I have been looking for a new car right now I’m looking at the Pontiac Vibe,Toyota Matrix, or VW Golf. I test drove a Vibe a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the ride, so right now I’m tilting the Matrix/Vibe direction. But who knows, when I actually go to do the purchase in a couple months that might change.

I’ve also gotten started with the very beginning of my planning for my summer vacation. The plan is just starting to coelase, but right now the general idea is to spend 2 weeks driving through the US to places to take pictures. Hitting some of the major spots:

Plus the Pacific Coast Highway and anything else that strikes my fancy along the way. I think it’ll be a super relaxing trip, and a nice chance to just spend some time taking pictures and hanging out.

I’ve also been considering alot more seriously the pros and cons of getting a dog. Having the companionship at home would be nice, plus dogs are just plain cool.

Well I’m thinking that’s enough of an update for one night. Hopefully I’ll have some photography stuff to post in the next little while. The roughnecks season opener is Friday night so I may take my camera to that to see if I can get some cool sports action shots.

The first day of Houston trip November 2005 is now over, it went pretty good so I’m thinking this trip will be ok. The trip down here was a whole lot of suckage, our flight left Calgary an hour and a half late. We got to Houston late enough that the company I had reserved a car with had already closed. We spent the next 25 minutes going from rental company to rental company to find one that had a car available (that wasn’t 100 bucks a day). After those two disasters the rest of the night went pretty smoothly, got to the hotel around 1:30am….by the time I got all checked in and unpacked I went to sleep around 2am. Which made the alarm going off at 6:45 this morning really early.

That’s pretty much all that went on, I’m going to try to get a bunch of sleep tonight. So I’m not completely dead tomorrow.

So this weekend which on Wednesday I was planning to go out picture taking with Wes has now been modified in getting prepared for going to Houston. But on the plus side I’m going to try to get to Moody Gardens and take a whole bunch of pictures. The rainforest area seems like it would create an bunch of options for some amazing pictures. If I end up finding something cool I’ll post it during the week while I’m done there. Tomorrow is Erika’s Calgary birthday get together @ Kensington Pub which should be a whole bunch of fun.

BTW If anyone has a guarenteed cold remedy could you let me know what it is? I hate flying when I’m sick.
