This past weekend, we saw Kings of Leon and Will Hoge in Birmingham on back-to-back nights, and tailgated and went to the Bama-South Carolina Homecoming game on Saturday. The concerts were amazing – two of the best shows we’ve seen. And the game was great – it was Cathy’s first big SEC game, and her first night game at Bryant-Denny. A truly great weekend!

For our first anniversary, Cathy and I took a second honeymoon to Barbados and stayed in a luxurious resort called The Crane, overlooking Crane Beach, which was profiled by Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous as one of the top ten beaches in the world. It lived up to the hype, and then some. An amazing, wonderful week with my wonderful wife, and a perfect way to mark our first year together.

The second part of our Dodgers summer road trip took us back to Dallas to visit family and friends and to watch the Dodgers take two from the hometown Texas Rangers. Rangers Ballpark is a beautiful, fun stadium, and we had a great weekend.

Cathy and I went to Chicago my birthday weekend to watch the first-place Dodgers take on the Cubs at Wrigley Field, and to take in the sights and sounds of the Windy City. In addition to attending two games, we took a great architectural boat tour of the Chicago River, made it to the top of the Sears Tower, visited Grant Park and Millenium Park, went to Navy Pier, walked the Magnificent Mile, ate at Harry Caray’s and Pizzeria Uno, and checked out Oak Street Beach. Great trip.
This was also my first chance to really test out the new Canon XSi, so I might have gone a little overboard… you’ve been warned. I’m planning to pick out a brief “best-of” sampling of photos from the games and the city and post them here later, but for now, here’s the whole gallery. Enjoy.

So for years I’ve been the most amateurish of amateurs when it comes to photography, relying on a simple Sony point-and-shoot to capture images of my travels and life events. Along the way I’ve acquired a simple-but-pure love for photography, and I’ve developed a desire to learn more about it and to take better and more advanced photos. So I finally took the plunge and bought a grown-up camera. I read a lot of reviews and articles, and eventually chose the Canon EOS Rebel XSi based on a number of factors, the most important of which was a great balance of ease of use, advanced features, and photo quality.
I’ve literally read nothing about the operation of the camera yet, and have basically zilch knowledge when it comes to the finer points of photography. But I couldn’t resist taking my new baby out for a quick spin after work yesterday, and used my immediate surroundings of a beautiful campus as my trial run. I’ve got a lot of reading to do and a lot to learn, but I’m encouraged by early results, and am looking forward to applying some actual technical skill to this process at some point. Enjoy!
