Photo is gone that was originally posted so here I am saying hello and to say that I have not had a bagel in a long time. Well that is not totally true. I do get a bagel for my son quite often and I usually have a bit or half so I have had a bagel around 2 days ago.

Coney Island


100_0092, originally uploaded by shveckle.

I got a new camera, a Kodak dual lens v570. The pictures are not as good as my casio and the movies are not as good as the casio at all. I use the movie function a lot because I take quick videos of my son playing and singing and I hate breaking out the camecorder. The casio works great and the movies look great but it only uses a weird .avi format that just to look at the movie on a mac I have to convert to mpeg4 .mov file with a third party software. The process takes a few minutes so is annoying but the quality is great. The v570 records movies in mpeg4 format and does not have to be converted at all on my mac to look at or to upload to youtube or myspace. The thing I like about the v570 is the Ultra Wide angle lens. It is nice and has a fixed focus and therefore takes pictures fast and also has the panorama mode where you can stitch 3 pictures together. This is fun because you can do all sorts of weird things like have the same people in the shots etc. I have just had the camera for 3 days so am just starting to explore the fun of the wide angle and panaroma modes.

I have not updated this blog in quite a long time but I also have not taken any good pics in a long time. I have taking a lot of family pics but they have been kind of boring, I mean of course my son is the cutest in the world but my forte is not portraits, that is for sure. It is the winter that makes taking pictures harder especially with a little boy around although winter used to be my favorite time to take street pics. Anyway I have not eaten any bagels in a long time in hopes that that would be the key to dieting but it is not.

Brooklyn Bridge





Well today we took a long walk from our apartment to downtown Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge. This is the first time I have taken any pictures I thought worth posting. It was cloudy when we walked over the bridge and I decided that whenever it is really cloudy out it is always fun to get a picture of a bird flying above while including an object that sticks up into the sky. Interesting huh, not really. Well we walked over the bridge because we are purchasing a building in Bushwick, nice huh. Anyway that is about it. I have been on a diet lately so I have been totaly refraining from eating bagels, boy is it a struggle.
