Train Details

These are two random pictures I took of some train cars in Grapevine.

The Station

This is my Grandad's (Papa) Station from the 30's.

USS Arizona

This is the flag that is flying on top of the The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.

A Moment with Otis

For those who haven't met my camera (or know that I always assign a name and personality to inanimate items that I love) I would like to formally introduce you. His name is Otis. Like many of you, photography has become a hobby of mine. I love playing around with it and am trying to learn more and more of my camera's features rather than solely keeping it on automatic. I am also starting to play around with different programs to enhance/alter the pics once finished. If you have any suggestions on good programs or camera tips, let me know! You may also notice that most of my pictures are of objects rather than people. I like to take pictures of things that are still :) I use my good friend Melissa Darst (http://www.melissadarstphoto.com/) for the portrait/people pics.

I began blogging because I thought it would be a good creative outlet for me and a way to scrapbook or journal daily happenings with my family. That being said, I am going to begin posting random pics from time to time. I have a lot of them scattered all throughout my computer and I want to begin collecting them in one spot. Anyway, this is my "happytime", please excuse. :)
