So I have a friend who is a pro portrait shooter. I told her how much I'd love to have a 16-35mm f2.8L. She said that I could borrow hers any time I wanted as long as she didn't need it at the time. Man this thing is wider than a combine on a dirt road and sooooo crisp. I took this pic with the lens about 5 inches away from my nose. 

Sooooo fun!

Also I have been uploading "textures and nature shots" to several stock photography sites. A stock photo site is a site that:

1. you upload images (good ones) of stuff they want.

2. they, in turn, sell them to clients who use them for web production, design, etc. Such as: 

3. they give you between $.25 to $5.00 per download, depending on the size of the file that the customer wants. Pretty cool, that's for sure.

You have to pass a "test" of sorts-they make you upload ten of your best images and then if seven of them pass, you're in! (seven of mine passed, first try, and they weren't even my faves-oh well!)

I will be taking some pics of a lot of stuff soon, but I'm feeling a bit queasy. Might be a while. 

Till then!!

CHEERS!
