My Hobby - Photography.

By Jon Marrelli

Today I received my copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, which is a photo organizing and editing software.

I am very excited about this. As most of you know, photography has become a big hobby of mine recently. I have been having a lot of fun taking pictures, which I generally upload to my Flickr account. (see top right corner of the blog for a sample from it.) Moving forward, Lightroom will let me organize much better, and my Flickr feed will be more of a showcase for my best efforts. Right now it is kind of a catch all for my photos. 

Tonight I was able to use Lightroom to take two "okay" photos and turn them into something a bit better. I just wanted to share these, as I'm really excited about getting a little bit better at photography.

This has gotten me wondering what everyone likes to do for a hobby or for fun. Please post about what you have a passion for, and interest in, or just have fun doing. 

In loving Memoriam

On Sunday January 11th around 8pm Dream Marrelli was found dead in his backyard. There is now way to tell why or how he died. He has gone to join his "Mommy" and will forever be in my heart. Dream will be cremated and his ashes buried after the snow melts. He is of course, "survived" by his family and was best described as Truly mans best friend. He was never judgemental and loved all members of his family. His mortal enemies were the deer that ate his familys flowers and other various edibles in their yard. He loved milkbones and rawhide chew sticks.

He will be missed.
