I may have posted this already, or one like it, when I was discussing the wedding last month but I adore this photo.

Late Sixties
I’m back to scanning some photos. You can’t find cartridges for the printer I use locally anymore. I’m sure that I can probably order them online but I find that the more and more I use it for work I have been wanting a printer anyway.
Since I got a gift cart for Wal-Mart at the awards banquet tonight I decided to use it to buy an HP scanner/copier/printer combo. The prices on these things has dropped immensely. The last time I checked was five or six years ago and they were about three or four times the cost.
Since I now have a scanner that will work with Windows Vista I can start copying all these old pictures. Here’s one from the late sixties. That’s my great-aunt and myself.
This is about the only thing I am going to post today. As I mentioned, I had a meeting tonight and being as how it’s been a long day on top of feeling like shit I am going to bed as soon as my managers call me with their sales and staffing.
I bummed a smoke around 7am, another around 11am and then got one from one of the managers after supper tonight, around 6. Not too bad. I had a pretty hard time with it today and have been in an extremely foul mood but I think I may have forgotten to take the Chantix this morning. I’ve caught up tonight and maybe tomorrow won’t be such a hard day. If it’s any worse than today I may end up cussing someone out at work.
Wish me luck as I am going to try and go without having a cigarette at all tomorrow.
The Last Sitting
As much as I’ve been reading and hearing about Lindsay Lohan’s now famous photo shoot with Bert Stern (the photographer that did Marylin’s last photo shoot) you would have thought she hosted Jesus at the last supper. And why? It’s a poor imitation of an extremely sensual set of photos.
You can check out Lohan’s photos over at New York Magazine. Have you ever seen the ones of Marylin Monroe. Lohan is missing something vital in the photos. Marylin Monroe looks sensual, naughty, like she was having fun. Lindsay Lohan just looks like she’s trying to be something she’s not. A very poor imitation.

Sunset On Hilton Head…
I really liked this shot. The only bad part about trying to catch a sunset when you are on the east coast is that you are facing the wrong direction to get the full impact of the sun going down. There was a bit of rain moving in and the air was great. The first couple of days that I was out of town was extremely hot in Beaufort but once I got to Bluffton and Hilton Head on Saturday it had started to cool down quite a bit.
It’s really pleasant at home now. I have the windows open to let the breeze in and haven’t needed the air conditioning at all, which is a huge change from what it was here before I left town last week.
South Carolina
Here’s a couple of photos I took while in Beaufort and Parris Island…
That first one is just a tree (duh) full of Spanish Moss right outside the All Weather Training Facility on Parris Island.
This was shot while leaving Parris Island on Thursday. Quite a bit of the area around the barrier islands in South Carolina is marsh and swamp. Looks like there was some kind of picnic area. If I had not been on such a tight schedule (and with kids) I would have stopped at several of these and taken a bunch more photographs.
This is a shot of the Bay in Beaufort from the waterfront area. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, after Labor Day it seems to turn into a ghost town and we had the entire area pretty much to ourselves.
Watch This…
…is usually the last thing you hear before a redneck hurts himself doing something stupid. Believe me, I know from personal experience. In this case though I did want you to check it out. I wrote a review on a piece of software at another site this morning and did this with it…
That’s no mean feat for me. I can hack around in Photoshop a little bit but I have never been able to make animated gifs or anything cool like that. I can think of several different bloggers that I may just have to morph… >:
Photo Hunt Saturday
This weeks PhotoHunt Saturday theme is Dirty. She’s not sure if she likes this sand stuff or not…
