Adventures In 105

Angry Gardner — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 01:19:48 +0000

Yeah this is way late, I mean way, way late. I rented a 105mm macro lens for my daughter’s spring dance concert. I have rented several different lenes since I got my first camera, however, this was the first that I felt like it was a must have.

Here is a collection of pictures I was able capture in the short time that I had this amazing lens. If anyone wants to donate to the [...]

Tulips Days

Angry Gardner — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:09:12 +0000

I know I am not keeping this blog up to date. My 365 Challenge (link to the right) is taking all of my blog fodder. Yesterday the Family and I met up with my sister-in-law after a baby shower for my step-sister. The baby shower was in Nephi and so there are a couple of pictures from there. Then it was off to Thanksgiving Point and Tulip Days. I thought it was a little over [...]

Fall Into Spring Chicken Penne

Angry Gardner — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:12:12 +0000

I would say that this is made with two of my favorite ingredients, but I am starting to believe that my favorite just happens to be the ones I am using today. Today’s favorites are from the opposite ends of the growing season hence fall into spring.

This like many of my recipes is a “what the crap am I going to do with the that ingredient”. Generally, that ingredient will go bad if I don’t [...]

This is way later than it should be, by more than a month. I counted today and I and behind by 6 posts. My goal is to be completely caught up by the weekend, we’ll see if I can actually pull it off.

I am not sure the exact day that I got my camera, but Presidents Day 09 was the first time I really used it. In honor of that day [...]

Neglect

Angry Gardner — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 02:53:43 +0000

I know I have neglected this blog. I hope, but doubt, that I will get my feet under me with all of the blogs I am running (4). When I do, I will start getting this one updated more often. Until then here is a quick recipe for Red Pepper and Chocolate Habanero Ketchup.

2 Red bell peppers Roast in a 425 degree oven until mostly black put in a [...]

You Should’ve Been Sick

Angry Gardner — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:12:09 +0000

You know who you are.

Saturday was the photowalkingutah.com studio lighting event, well more like extravaganza. I’d like to say I was in control and knew exactly what I was doing. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was fairly clueless and completely terrified. The first station was the lensbaby my hands were shaking so bad that @nicolesy had to help me change my lens out. It got a little [...]
