Kristen was so easy to work with. Not only has she modelled before professionally, but she enjoys being in front of the camera and takes a very active role in the shoot. She and I had a lot of fun together and she lives close enough that she [...]

After much pondering and internal debate, I picked up a cheapo "Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Lens":http://sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3286&navigator=6 today for $109. I debated a lot between it and the "Sigma 18-125mm f/3.5-5.6 ASP IF DC":http://sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all_details.asp?id=3287&navigator=6 and I'm still not 100% certain I made the right choice.
I want a lens that will make decent images in most situations [...]

The webhosting Co-Op that I run isn't doing so well. It's not that people aren't paying, it's simply that there are not enough paying customers, and waaay too many free customers (that's my own fault, mostly). So, right now, I'm paying $60/mo out of pocket, *and* I have to add new accounts, deal with billing, [...]

In honor of Stefanie, here's an outtake from my shoot with her that I like a lot. It was taken while trying to get "this shot":http://flickr.com/photos/revjim/35120463/ when she just couldn't hold that "depressed" face any longer.

For those of you that use "GMail":http://gmail.com/, I thought I might offer a few tips and tricks to make the experience a little more pleasent. Both of these require that you use "FireFox":http://mozilla.org/ as your browser, but, if you're not already using FireFox, what the hell are you using?!
