Two Books

10-Dec-09

It’s the first time that I managed to read two books at once and finish them on the same day. It certainly offers quite the sense of accomplishment. Siblings Without Rivalry was foisted upon me by Lisa, who upon hearing the stories of my childhood, and not having any siblings of her own, decided this [...]

Another little sorrow

I’ve abstained from reading the manual, too – all the photos are lens work with whatever adjustments I could figure [...]
