April 2009
My interest in off camera lighting grew. For a few evenings Beth & I shot ourselves against the sunset.

February 2009
There was a warm spell in February so Beth & I took advantage of it by hiking and walking.
On 2/17 I received Jeff’s 5D which permanently changed my photography. From this day to the wedding I shot a ton and had never been more excited about photography. I remember the day because my employer had a family fun night at the office where we played games, ate pizza, and drank beer.

Glove & Motherfucker
If I ever have a child I would like to receive two gifts.
A baseball glove.
A t-shirt that says “I’m a motherfucker”. At least I would want someone to greet me as a motherfucker.
The damn local news keeps saying “sleet pellets.” Why isn’t “sleet” sufficient?

Games at Grandma's
Beth & I trekked to Elliottstown (I never knew there were two t’s in Elliottstown till now.) to visit my Grandma Bierman. My parents were already there with two aunts, their spouses, and one cousin each. My uncle was also there.

I don’t remember asking Santa for a cold.

Meyer Wrap Up
Today was very easy going. We got up when we wanted and sat around. The most we did before tonight was photograph Paul’s gun collection and make noms for tonight.
We went to mass at Green Creek which was exactly like it was last year, not bad just a little too much cute.
Afterwards we met the Meyer family for the annual Christmas Eve party. The food was excellent as always. My favorite...
