Amethyst...


Amethyst, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was a big piece of Amethyst that was in the Smithsonian National Museum Of Natural History in Washington DC. I thought that it would be a neat photo. They have a great section on Geology as well as many other exibit halls. This rock weighed well over 500 pounds and is one of the few items that can be touched in the museum.

Exposure: 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 35 mm
ISO Speed: 400

Before The Fire...



I took this at 8.46pm. We were going to have a fire in the pit and make Smores. The photo was a 4 second exposure. I like the colors that the deck and the little Citronella flare pots give off onto the side of the house. The fires give off enough light to make the chairs have big shadows on the wall as well. We also have little lights that are bordering the deck that give off neat circular light pattern. I used f/5.6, Iso400 at an 18mm focal length to shoot this photo.

Fire Pit...


I was just messing around having some fun taking random night pictures. We had a fire in our little burning pit and i wanted to see what it would look like.

5 Years...

On May 15, 2008 I celebrated my 5th year of continuous Soberity. It was a very strange and reflective day for me while i was at work. Looking back at what i was and then where i am now and where i am going to be soon had a strange effect on me that day.

The blog has taken a new direction in that I am wildly into Photography as many can tell from the posts as of late. Because i am Clean and Sober i can do the things that i love. I still ride my mountain bike and work out, but this is the direction that i need to go now. Please continue to read and i will continue to publish...

Thank you,
