Holidays at home...

Well, I survived Christmas. Each year I go into the holiday season praying that I come out the other end in one piece. It's great to be home with the family, my little brother came in Monday from Chicago and it's always a blast having him around. I got two things that I really wanted, a small luggage roller for my carry-on camera bag and a GorillaPod. I got the SLR-Zoom model of the latter so that I can use my own tripod head with it. Everyone I know that owns a GorillaPod says the same thing, they LOVE it... so I'm super excited about getting out and playing...

I'm driving my brother back to Chicago on Monday or Tuesday, crashing with him for a night or two in the Windy City, and then heading up to Minneapolis for New Years. At least, that's the plan for right now. I'm debating small project ideas to keep the road trip interesting... and I've always wanted to do a study of (what I lovingly call) "BFCs" (Big F%*#in' Churches). You know the big huge auditorium-style laser-light-show 'new' churches. If anyone knows any BFCs between Detroit and Chicago (I know ONE!) or between Chicago and Minneapolis (I could go through Madison or Milwaukee) let me know! I'll do my own research of course...

I'm really excited about getting back to shooting after a month of website coding, assisting on an automotive shoot, and tutoring! I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and that New Year's is fun and safe.

And just because I really shouldn't post without at least one new image, I present to you two frames from Monday Funday:
