I found my camera (der, it was a few weeks ago, but I’m still excited about it)! I thought I’d lost it several months ago. I’d given it up for gone. I even let a friend borrow the battery charger, telling her that she could just keep it since I would probably never find my camera. I think I found it two days later. I should have let someone take the battery charger sooner! In commemoration of the camera that was once lost, but is now found: a (fairly boring) photo.

This was taken over at a friend’s house, where I spend the majority of my time working.

I don’t think I’ve ever posted videos of our team performances. So here you go. I’m on the far left in both videos.

This is from Camp Hollywood 2006, where we took 2nd place:

This is from the 2007 Utah Lindy Exchange:

For of you who are thinking “wow, I want them to perform at my next company party!” or something similar to that, check out our cool website, theswingteam.com. The site, by the way, was designed by the incredible designer I work with. He also does photography.

I will admit right up front that I have no idea why you’d want to over saturate a photo, but I bet there are uses for it. Also, I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but! I am capable of over saturating a photo. Check out these sweet flowers:

So here’s my guide to over saturating a photo:

• Get way too close to your target
• Make sure the flash is on and that it’s bright
• Try to get the angle just right so as much of the flash as possible reflects directly back at the camera
• I bet you could leave the shutter open too long and that’d do it too.

I really should take a photography class. There are so many amazing photos on flickr, I could spend months and months just viewing cool photos.
