So there it went, my 30th birthday. I never really like "celebrating" my birthday however I'm a big fan of other people celebrating and if my birthday is an excuse to party well than who am I to stop a party. And amazingly I had a great birthday this year. Year three-zero has started off well.
It's still been a while since doing any major photography work. I still have to go through all the pictures I took in Italy and India last year. I did get to do a family portrait late last year that got me real excited. The images came out real well and I'll share them soon. - But I've said that before...
I got some great birthday gifts. From work I scored a Bogen light stand. It's an older model that the facilities manager found in a storage closet. It was plenty dusty but a good wipe down cleaned it right up. Our resident media guy and in house photographer said he had no use for it so I snagged it right up. That was the beginning of my Strobist kit. Next my sister-in-law bought me a Vivitar 285HV off of eBay for me. With the light stand, the new (old) flash a flash bracket and an umbrella I have a start to a good little portable lighting kit. Hopefully I'll get to use this new equipment soon.
