It's true...I have a second love (next to Joe).  Photography.  I love photography.  There, I said it!  Last weekend I photographed my friend Jacqie's wedding (this weekend I will be photographing at a co-workers wedding for fun).  It has been a while since I have gotten my camera out (due to moving and rain), but it felt so liberating to be a photographer again.  (No, I wasn't their ACTUAL photographer...I was just the amateur!)  In fact, their photographer asked for my number and told me she would give me a call when she does a wedding up near Allen because she would love to have me as her assistant photographer.  Now, I did inform her that I was VERY much an amateur, but she didn't seem to mind.  How cool would that be?! 

Unfortunately, (as it is with all of my hobbies) photography is pretty expensive when you get into it.  I already have over $1500 of things I want (which is a pretty short list, I have to say).  But, most of all, I want my $450 external flash.  Someday, I will get it.  But for now, I will just have to wish it was mine.  After all, I have spent enough money lately on massages and a maid.  Not to mention we will have a patio cover built probably this coming weekend (cedar posts, shingles to match our house...the whole 9 yards).  So, I guess my photography accessories can wait another few months....    (I'm already spoiled enough for now!)

Here are a few of my (unedited) photos.  I still need to learn how to master photoshop so my photography will look more like I am a professional.
