I’m really enjoying the new camera. It’s a Canon EOS Rebel XS (AKA the 1000D), an entry-level digital SLR. One of the smartest things I did was to pick up an 8 GB SD card when I bought it. That sucker will hold a ton of pictures before it’s full. A few days ago I went out and about and took 664 RAW format photos, and had plenty of room to spare. I ❤ that.
I’ve been clicking away at anything that catches my eye. I’ve got a couple shots around town that I’d like to think are pretty decent. A handful of my shots of birds and other critters are pretty good, but birds seem to be my toughest targets. I’m working on it.
Mostly though, I’m enjoying taking photos of my favorite subject: Jane. I’ve easily taken a thousand photos of her in the couple weeks we’ve had the camera. Some of them she lets me share on my Facebook page. There are more … grown up… shots on my Flickr page. There are some really beautiful nudes on my hard drive. She’s not ready to let me share those with the world, though. Sorry. (I’ll let you know when she gets a little more comfortable with that!)
This morning some really bright morning sun was being reflected off the neighbor’s car window and through our bedroom window, onto the wall. It inspired me to wake up my sleeping bride, and take a mess of photos as her eyes opened. Some of them came out ok, and they’re on my Flickr page. They start with the morning light on the wall that awakened me (and hence the set is named Morning Light).
Later I talked her into, and then out of, a bathrobe. Jane Disrobes follows the Morning Light shots.
Pop on over for the two sets I took so far today, Morning Light and Jane Disrobes, and leave a comment if you see something you like, or if you have a suggestion on how to improve my pichertakin skilz. Feel free to browse around the rest of my photostream, as well. There might be something half-way decent there that catches your eye. If so, I’d love to hear about it.

From whence came the art:
That image is part of the set I took today called Jane Disrobes, and can be found at my Flickr page. The ghostly groper in the image was a happy accident.

Can you describe all the tattoos on on you and your wife?

And what caused those marks on the bedroom wall?

I call them Carnal Scars. Figure it out. 😉

Sure, Khan.
My wife has five. A tomahawk on one breast, a panther on her shoulder blade, praying hands with the dates of birth and death of her parents in the top center of her back/neck, one taken from a photo of our son James on a skateboard on one calf, and a fairy with Kay’s name on the other calf.
I have my jump wings on my chest and a dagger through a heart on my shoulder blade, from my time in the service many moons ago.

I like it when you talk about your camera much more than when Kwok would talk about his camera.
hehehehe!

Thanks, Abbie! I can’t even tell you how happy I am to not be grouped with the Kwok.
Stay tuned, I have a feeling there is more to come.
…so to speak.

More pictures is a good thing. Wish I could convince my pretty to let me showcase a few if her… Oh well. Such is life.

I wish you could too, Rystefn. Photos of beautiful women are always welcome.
Maybe some day.

Maybe I should take one of her with clothes on… It generally goes against everything I stand for, but it might help with the convincing.
June 5, 2009 at 6:39 am
It might. I’d give it a try and see what she thinks about that. Maybe it would help her get comfortable.
June 5, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Is a no-go. I’m not allowed to post any pictures of her on the internet… Well, “allowed” is a strong word, but she asked m not, so I won’t.
June 5, 2009 at 1:22 pm
That’s a bummer, Rystefn. Perhaps she will change her mind in time, but even if not, enjoy the fruits of your labor yourself.
June 5, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Oh I will. 😉
