I know I've been behind, especially on comments and looking at other people's pictures. 12 credit hours equals a decent amount of work, and I somehow manage to equate commenting and uploading to my PAD as work lately, so I usually don't feel like it.
These two are from my 1N. One of them is a double exposure using the fisheye lens, it turned out pretty cool I think. I got my Leica M3, but I won't have a lens for it until tomorrow and of course it's film so I won't be able to post the pictures from it for a couple days. We'll see if I can get by without a digital camera for long - this is the first time since August of 2001!
If I'm able to get a job, I'll probably save up for a 5D or 1Ds next summer.

3 photos taken in Kansas with the 1N and the 70-210. I was really close to the close focus limit on these I think, and it worked out pretty well. Shot on Kodak 400UC, which seems really nice, I'll be using a lot more of it.

Some photos from my trip to Kansas. The first one (or whichever order they are) is my dad. The cow, I'm pretty happy with and probably will enter it in free study. The other one is a butterfly eating the pollen on some of my aunt and uncle's flowers. They had a lot of them there. I'll post some scans from film when I get it developed, I shot almost as much film as digital (4 rolls)

I've been busy with plenty of class work lately, so here's three pictures at a time. One of them is at the reception for a photography show at the Civic Center for the photography club that I'm in, my cat picture is on the wall there. We had a lot of rain, and more importantly the area upstream from us got more, so the neighborhood got a LOT of water. Our front lawn was underwater for a while, and so was this oilfield site. The third shot is some fall colors on a dirt driveway - got some good old fashioned trespassing going on to make the shot. I'm going on a trip to Kansas soon, hopefully I'll get some good landscapes and maybe shots of the family. When I come back I'm selling my digital camera and most of my lenses, and possibly my film camera. Going to go to a Leica M6, and I haven't decided which lenses yet. Ideally, a 21mm f/4, a 50mm f/2 and a 75mm f/2.5, but $$$ and no money for a scanner and a PnS digital. Someone come buy my prints!

A couple shots of the colorful fall foliage around here. The second shot is at Haviland lake, outside of Durango.
