My new friend and I were at the front doors to the art center, just about to walk in, when I received a phone call from my babysitter...she needed me to come home right away. Upon returning home, the gentleman that accompanied me to the event suggested we sit down and share our own secrets with each other. I proceeded to grab a notebook and we each had our own pen. Three secrets each were shared. It ended up being the most incredible evening as we elaborated on our secrets, exposed our soft underbellies, and neither of us ran away - as we all fear will happen when we expose such intimate parts of ourselves. You be well, too... Sincerely, Kristen (2008 Schedule for PostSecret Events) 408 comments|post comment

Pictures from a Jungle Cruise in Palau [11 Oct 2008|09:12pm] canoncameras [justkj] We were on a jungle river cruise to see the unique Palauian Crocodile.  The crocs did not disappoint.  I had my long lens on because I was shooting pictures of birds and bats.  My wife was using a pocket canon, so I kept using the long lens to get super close. Comments (positive or negitive)? All pictures were shot with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using a Canon 70-300 lens. There are 5 more under the cut. ( More pictures... ) 1 comment|post comment

4 images [11 Oct 2008|02:17am] hellophoto [mylastsunrise] 4 images behind cut ( Read more... ) So my advertising photo class had a studio portrait assignment. we were to photograph 6 different non-photo major persons with each having a different type lighting... even though we were supposed to complete 6 I only did 4, the day before the assignment was due. Surprisingly I had more work to show than most of the class, lazy photo majors. All in a days work Nikon D3 105 2.8 vr 85 1.4 black wall studio bron-color lighting pack post comment

Misc. Photos [10 Oct 2008|02:07am] canoncameras [sabarika] [ mood | geeky ] I am all for some critique or advice on how to make these better.  I went from a Nikon D70s to Canon 40D and love the Canon capabilities.  I think I used my Sigma 18-50mm (something to 50) lens. Normally I photograph my animals but I love other subjects that are.. less mobile. :P ( Many photos ) Sorry for the overload! 10 comments|post comment

I'm a beginner.... help? [10 Oct 2008|01:24am] canoncameras [kellyasherself] [ mood | hopeful ] I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT with a 18-200mm zoom lens. What would be the best setting for taking pictures of someone surfing or skating without being blurry and being able to snap the shots quickly one after the other? Thank you SO much for ANY help! 5 comments|post comment

Time for an upgrade! [06 Oct 2008|12:38pm] canoncameras [cp] [ mood | excited ] Got my 50D yesterday and thought I'd share some initial thoughts with you all (and okay, rub it in a little bit..)! Background first: I've owned (and loved!) my 350D (Rebel XT) since 2005, but had really started hitting its limits in terms of AF performance, ISO abilities, and dealing with the small viewfinder and LCD (both troublesome since I like to use old manual-focus glass). I'd wanted to upgrade for a while, but even the 40D didn't seem like quite enough of a jump to justify the purchase. So I was very excited when the 50D was announced, and have read probably every word written about it on the Net in the past few weeks, especially since it started hitting the shelves in Asia and Europe. There seemed to be (and still is) a lot of debate about how much better the 50D is than the 40D, and I'll let the pros and pixel-peepers sort that out. But there was no doubt that it would be leaps and bounds ahead of my trusty 350D, so when I found it in stock at Best Buy this weekend, I talked the wife into it and took the plunge.

Sweet new hat. It is so fricking cold [05 Oct 2008|05:11pm] kasmoie Sweet new hat. It is so fricking cold Originally uploaded by kasmoie 2 comments|post comment

[05 Oct 2008|03:14pm] canoncameras [kellyasherself] If this post isn't allowed, you can delete it. I have a question regarding photography, but not about my camera. I just was wondering if anyone in this community was someone who enjoyed photography but didn't know much about it, but decided to study it in college. Were you intimidated by the other students? How did you do? Etc... This is sort of a situation I am in now. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you! 9 comments|post comment

Sunday Secrets [04 Oct 2008|11:19am] postsecret http://postsecret.blogspot.com/2008/10/sunday-secrets.html PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 4:23 PM Subject: Twin brother This is my worst fear, that my husband will sleep with my twin sister if we were to ever divorce.

Turns out I was deciphering my own secret. I'm going to get over my fear, I'm going to go for it. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 9:56 AM Subject: Secret Code A PostSecret Community teen recently shared in a forum she couldn't share her secrets as her Mom read her diary and knew her id on PSC. This reminded me how my mother read my diary and reminded me of a secret I had. Since I had no outlet for expressing my anger, I would write my thoughts in acronyms. I knew exactly what I was saying, but no one else ever would. It was my secret way to let the anger out. The interesting aspect of this is I would often go back to the writings and what I previously said would now be a mystery even to me. It was my secret yet I couldn't decipher it. ---Email Message---- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 2:11 AM Subject: Russian secret Я обожаю видеть русские секреты, тогда я чуствую что я не одна. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 5:06 PM Subject: from student from Syracuse University I'll be sure to be extra nice the next time I visit. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 5:59 PM Subject: Re: Copy Centers secret I KNEW IT! This year a UK and Korean edition of the PostSecret book came out and there are official versions of the website in French, German, Spanish and Korean. This week on Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace I interview Brian Cotlove who runs PostSecretFrance. Hi Brian, can you explain how you started PostSecretFrance? Being a longtime fan of PostSecret, I always found the foreign language secrets to be the most interesting and appealing to me. I think it's incredible how secrets can cross cultural and language barriers with ease. So I combined my love of the French language and culture with my love of PostSecret, made this video in French and PostSecretFrance was born. Can you share a postcard with us that has a personal meaning for you and explain why it is special to you? My favorite secret that I have gotten so far is the simplest one. It's scrawled on a Post-It note and says, "I'm mailing this card because I have the feeling that I'm going to meet the person who will change my life on the way to the post office." I'm actually kind of jealous of this person because they seem so unfailingly positive and confident. Yet at the same time this secret constantly reminds me how I am able to do just what this person did. I'm amazed every time I read it at how just a little Post-It note can make me feel. What is a secret about yourself you have never shared before? (Read the rest of this interview at Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace.)

From my brilliant father [02 Oct 2008|10:08pm] kasmoie "How did you get to be so wise?" The young man asked the wise man. "By making wise choices," the wise man answered. "How did you know they were wise choices?" the young man countered. "Why, by experience, of course," the old man replied. "How did you get experience?" the young man asked. "By making poor choices!" the wise old man exclaimed. Knowing that every challenging experience contains the seeds of success makes life a constant learning experience and a magnificient adventure. It's all about the journey, it's always been that way. post comment
