A few weeks back I posted about a collection of photos of mine that grace the wall of the United Way of Story County’s lobby wall. I finally got a chance to get down there to see the wall in its glory on Saturday before Shannon and I went to see Rent.

I promised a picture of the wall. Here is that picture:

If you wish to see the wall and all of its glory in person, this map will help:

It is fairly well documented that I don’t enjoy this aspect of my church’s Good Friday service, but I do know a good photo opportunity when I see it!

A few more pictures from our Good Friday Service.

This is supposed to be the last year that Logan portrays Jesus on the cross. It may be the case because he could be in a far off land attending college next year.

In one of my few blogs of the last few months I wrote about a camera phone app called Lightbox. I wrote how I was tired of waiting for Instagram to come to Droid, so I was trying out an alternative.

In the last week or so, Instagram finally came to Droid! I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it as much as the hype, but I truly do. I publish pretty much every every Instagram photo on Twitter (of course) and on Facebook (biting my tongue and trying to forget how much I hate Facebook), so many of you have already seen these images.

For the rest of you, here is a collection of my first Instagram images:

If you have an iPhone or a Droid I highly recommend downloading and playing with Instagram. Of course, I recommend you following me on Instagram as well.

My only note of concern is that Facebook recently bought Instagram (for 1 billion dollars), so I do worry that they will destroy it like most other things they touch, but I will hold out hope.

There has been a void in my computer bag since last August when my favorite lens went kaput. I finally got around to replacing it recently.

Tamron 60mm Macro Lens

This is the 1st picture I took with the new lens.

Here are a few of the technical specifications of the new lens:

Construction: 10 Groups/14 Elements
Angle of View: 26 degrees 35 minutes
F stop range: 2.0-22
Closest Focusing Distance: 9.1 inches
Maximum Magnification: 1:1
Filter size: 55mm

I really love this new lens!
