dedmanshootn > sailing on bellingham bay on a beautiful day
05/03/09

tried a few landscape shots with my 500mm jsut to see how they'd look. kinfa like this one so you're getting it today. continuing to rest, this was on a chip with a couple others i'd forgotten, so staying home tho the day is quite sunny. i'm missing my fav spring flowers but taking no chances at all with a relapse. hope you're having a great day and have an even better week. thanks so much again for all the kind wishes re my health. i am improving it just takes time; more time than i'd like alas. there's some fun hot sauce bottles, if any one likes them, beginning at the link below (the "atlanta burning" is my fav i think)

dedmanshootn > phoropter, the eye doc and me
05/02/09

i've always been fascinated by the look of phoropters. i've been needing glasses for a while and finally got a really good deal so i can afford some. i'm really looking forward to when they finally arrive. the doc was great and even let me take a minute for this pic. i've finally completely shaken the pneumonia and now just have to build my strength. i'd planned to start up dailies again this past week but by the time i completed a short work shift and dragged myself up the hill and stairs home i just didn't have anything left for pics alas. an old friend is in the hospital not doing well either so i went there rather than smug yesterday. slept most of today but really wanted to post so i'm letting the chores slide and posting then commenting til i need to sleep again. thanks so much to all for your kind comments and e-s. i didn't even manage to turn the puter on some days so if i missed anyone's comment i hope i don't offend. blessings to all of good will
dedmanshootn > neighbor's tulips
04/26/09

just a quick snap i just had to take. these are directly below my window and are just so pretty and brightened my days as i'd sit here being a good boy and resting that i just had to run (more like almost crawl my wind is so bad but....) the stairs and grab a quick snap in the sun. the sun felt good  as did the fresh air. haven't left my apartment since wednesday. am doing quite a bit better tho i'm being good and continuing bed rest as i REALLY don't wish to risk a relapse and end up hospitalized. hate to be in hospitals. thanks all for your kind thoughts, prayers and wishes. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. thanks for the e-mails too. brightened my day when i'd muster my energy to turn on the puter and check quick. had a couple good print sales lately too which cheered me a lot too. shall be checking out a few pics today while my energy lasts. i'll be good and lay down as soon as i tire, despite that i'd MUCH rather be going through the great daily, and other greqt smug, galleries. hope this finds you happy, healthy, wealthy and wise (or the best three of four anyway - i haven't worried about the wealthy much since i grew up and hopefully got a bit wiser). for all you still in the snow or being boiled by the heat wave i do ho[pe you get relief soon
dedmanshootn > communications tower
04/22/09

this is atop the local telelphone company building. i shot it because i was waiting for the bus across the street from it yesterday on my way to the docs. not doing at all well with the pleurisy etc. haven't had to go to the hospital but am at home on bed rest. shall comment as i can but it won't be a lot as i'm sleeping a lot. thanks for all the kind comments. give a hug to someone today, or tomorrow ;-)
dedmanshootn > tired old tree
04/20/09

despite it being a bright, beautiful warm day i just can't muster the energy to go out today so you get this one i shot a while ago and just processed. the main thing i like about this is it looks quite wild but is actually right by the driveway of a grocery/strip mall i shop at often. just like yesterdays ducks it was a gray day so i made the shot gray to and liked it better. have to get out tomorrow as i have a doctor and an eye doctor appointment so i'll do my best to get something while i'm out. let your loved ones know how much you love them today
dedmanshootn > old school pintails and teal
04/19/09

thanks so much for all the kind b-day wishes! I know i've said it before but it bears repeating i feel; its a great privilige to be able to share in such a great fun community with such great photogs and people. bless you all. had an update from betsy/shutterbug lady and she's still not well at all tho a wee better i think. i'm doing much better with my pneumonia and pleurisy and hope to make it back to regular work schedule by the middle of this week. not making any promises but i'm truly hoping to be posting and commenting regularly again now too. i didn't like this in color because the day was so gray, anyway i made it gray too and liked it much better. had to crop down quite severely as only had my 18-55mm. thanks again for all the good wishes and kind comments especially those of you who commented on the little boss's pics. not much credit is due me there as she has a great natural eye and winning way with people all her own. haqve a great week
dedmanshootn > curly candles
04/18/09 (1of2)

well its been one year since i started posting in the dailies tho i haven't made a years worth of posts yet, mostly due to the many days missed recently alas. its my b-day and these were the candles on my cake at the party held for me by fam and friends at the restaurant. that was five hours ago (i had to take a nap when i got home, still) and i'm still full!, and happy. thanks all for such a great time! i hired the little boss as my professional photog (handed her the cam and said "take whatever pictures you want to and make sure to get some of the guests" and she put the strap over her neck, snapped a quick pic and said "i'm a professional photographer!" brought me such a smile i just had to share it). she was worth every dollar i paid, which would be true even if it were more than one ;-) . her 'daily' is next with a link to the great pics she got. i'm going to have to start asking her for pics tips pretty soon i think :-) . she got such great pics i'm thinking i may have to hirte her for the next event i shoot. there's a soso pic of a real nice (if not quite so cool as last years here: http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/gallery/4931081_5dSa9#282000451_EfJeG ) cake here:

dedmanshootn > fascinating fortune cookies (by the little boss)
04/18/09 (2of2)

like any good photog the little boss snapped a bunch of something that caught her eye and imaginationj. she tried several angles positions  and compositions with these fortune cookies leftover at my b-day party. i like this shot the best but there are several more, plus some nice fun portraits from my b-day party, in her gallery at the link below. i just gave her the cam to set and use how she wanted and she really did great i think. i especially like the one of her dad, first on the link.

dedmanshootn > spring "starfish"
04/14/09

shot this while i was in the yard yesterday. wasn't sure i was going to post today as my energy is at a very low ebb but did a quick e-mail check and needed to post. i got this from shutterbuglady's hubby who asked that i post to let y'all know what's up with her:

"Betsy has been in the hospital for the last week with double pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in her lung).  She was finally discharged today, but is still not doing well.  She's having chest pains and trouble breathing.  We have doctor's appointments and further tests scheduled for this week."
those who pray take note.

i got my taxes done and filed. couldn't use e-file because i couldn't find last years return to verify i'm me, like anyone else is going to pay my taxes!, so i had to drag out and mail them. the hill and stairs sucked the energy right out of me so i'm down for the evening once this is posted. hope you're doing great
dedmanshootn > study of grape hyacinth and bokeh
04/13/09

hope this finds each and every one who looks at it doing and feeling very well. i think i'm turning the corner on the pneumonia and beginning a bit of recovery. made it down the stairs to do MUCH needed laundry today and grabbed this in the yard while the dryers were running. had to sleep right away when i got back to my apartment but only for a couple hours. wanted to get a post in and say hi. have to finish my taxes so i can mail them tomorrow so not commenting much alas. hopefully if i continue to improve i'll at least be back commenting a bit soon. think of something that makes you happy today
dedmanshootn > different daffies
04/09/09

was playing with this shota couple days ago in elements just to see what i could do, was trying for a look like bronzed baby shoes get, and saved it here. needed something to post so i didn't get in trouble for not communicating again, you know who you are ;-). and thanks for caring. good news/bad news: the bad news is i've succumbed to pneumonia for the gazillionth time alas, just in time for my fav holiday of the year too, c'est la vie. the good news is that because i've had it so many times over so many years, my immune system has been funky from birth pretty much, i knew what it was even before i went to the doc and went early and am being very good - not that there's much choice when i keep falling asleep all the time ;-) - resting and focusing on getting better. unfortunately this means i probably won't be focusing my cam for a while or commenting much either i'm afraid. NOT happy about that but...  whaddayagonnado?! hope y'all are hapyy, healthy, wealthy and wise - or at least three out of four ;-)
dedmanshootn > little boss visiting my late mum and DOD
04/07/09

had a very bad night last night sleepwise so slept as much as i could this morning before the boss's and i went down to visit DOD and mum's grave today. sorry for posting way late and also very sorry to all you daily folk who's pics i'm missing as i need to go to bed now again. just posting quick and then down alas. shall try to catch up but have a real busy week. hope smug gets all their stuff together and people take laura's advice of a few days ago to heart, not that i expect much as some folks are much to be pitied for the lack of scope in their lives. hope you had a great day and have an even better rest of the week. blessings to all of good will
dedmanshootn > give me your lupins!
04/06/09

monty python's flying circus was a big fav in my dorm when i went to college and this line could often be heard in our halls, especially around exam time ;-) . didn't make it out yesterday to get a pic and couldn't muster the cfreative juice to try something in my apartment but i found this on my back-up drive when i was cleaning space and backing up my current drive and that line popped instantly into my head and made me laugh and feel nostalgic so i decided to go with it for my dp today. thanks again to all who have commented on the lttle boss's daily deer pic. she's trying to be cool because she's almost nine and a big girl now but she's busting her buttons ;-) . hope your week goes great and that winter lets go its grip and spring sproings, or fall lasts for y'all in the southern hemisphere,  and you feel happy just because. say something nice about yourself to yourself today
