More fun with flickr. Beth and I went to our favorite greasy spoon restaurant, Twain’s, for some late night chow tonight, and of course I took the new camera.
Being of negligible photographic talent, I’ve compensated for this by specializing in what I call stealth photography. I eschew the viewfinder and instead point the lens in the vaguely general direction of whatever and then I hit the shutter button. Et voila: artsy photography!
I actually manage to get some good stuff this way sometimes. This is my favorite shot of the bunch from tonight.
One last (maybe) test post via flickr.
This is a shot from the highest part of Beartooth Highway. The picture doesn’t do justice to how breathtaking it was in person.

Still playing with the flickr settings.
This is where I had lunch on my second day riding through Yellowstone Park. I picked up a sandwich and a Snapple at a restaurant in Red Lodge at the foot of Beartooth highway and stopped here in Yellowstone to eat.
In honor of the new digicam, I’m monkeying around with the settings on my account over at flickr. This is me testing the “blog this photo,” posting to the Lunchroom from flickr. Woo.
This is a picture I took at Yellowstone a few years back. I think it’s probably the best one I’ve ever taken. I used this as my desktop for my work laptop back when I had a work laptop.
We have a shweet new toy — a Canon SD500 digital camera. I’ve been wanting a new digicam for awhile now and have always coveted the Canons, and then last night Beth and I wandered into an electronic store after having dinner out and she just suggested, out of the blue, “Let’s get one” and zeroed in on the one I liked. Who am I to argue with thinking like that? So expect to see more pix showing up around here.
Here’s one from tonight, of Beth and Sammy in bed.
What’s wrong with this picture is that this is a king size bed, the king ain’t in it, and it’s full already — and Sammy’s on my side. But shooting the picture was fabulous.
