Who's on your shoulder

They say behind every man there is a great woman …right? Here’s a better question who controls the lil man on her shoulder? My wife makes me second guess my decisions sometimes but I know she supports my efforts never the less what fuels her to say some of the things that she says. Is it her want for me to succeed or her fear of my failure. After all…my failure is our failure but if failure make you stronger then shouldn’t the want for your love one to succeed take a back seat some of the time.
I recall a time when I was teaching my son how to turn the door knob. In the house he would turn knobs and go into any room he wanted to get into, this drove me insane.

Well one day me and the little one were out in the yard kicking the ball and his mother came to the window. Being the mother’s boy that he is, he decided at that point that our time was done and he wanted to be with his mother. There was only one obstacle standing between him and mommy …(dun dun dun) our front door knob. I refused to to walk up to it and let him in besides he was the door knob champion in our house. After all he had succeeded in walking in on my number two time and my shower time so many times therefore it was time he put that knob turning expertise to good use. After I made sure the door was unlocked I sat outside with him crying until he realized all he had to do was turn the knob. He fail several times to open the door how ever once he realized that I wasn’t gonna solve the problem for him, he figured out how to open the door. My point is this sometimes failure is good I know as “better halves” “significant others” … parents or even just plain ol friends we have to let people fall and as long as your there to help them back up and figure out what went wrong they will grow.

Chocolate Me!

I saw this picture on Shaq’s page that kinda made him look like he was dipped in tar and shined, so I thought about what would I look like dipped into chocolate skin. Here’s my attempt at recreating the shot with myself

I like the rawness of these shots because I haven’t had a hair cut and my facial hair is running wild.

Questions

Ahhh… the burning question … “Where have you been with the blog Al?” Well let’s answer that question with a letter and some numbers. D60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I finally got the camera that I wanted this camera is gonna only enhance the quality that I al ready give you guys and so excited about getting back into the feel for things. The next couple of days I will go thru the transition of switching to a new camera. I will not get rid of my old camera, the black and whites that come off that thing are irreplaceable. So bear with me as I transition and give you guys some of the best and worst of the my Cannon G2.

I will always have a love for this camera …. It paid for itself time and time again and it even helped buy the D60. Every picture that you have seen on the blog as well as my other blogs has been taken with a 4 mega pixel camera. I worked all last year saving and trying to develop an “eye” for the shot. Hopefully I have come into my own and you guys continue to love what I give you.
