>> Hi Everyone:
>>
>> The 24 hours before my internet went down were eventful to say the least.
>> I've done this in 4 short sets for easier viewing.
>>
>> 1)    The adventure began with a B-day outing for my littlest nephew who
>> just turned 8 at Navy Pier.  His name is Akira.  Of special note, he took
>> the 2nd photo.  We cropped it tighter, but he took the shot with the 
>> K10D.
>> Not too bad, hey?  When I saw the 4th photo, I thought:  "Oh my gosh. 
>> I've
>> taken a Dave Savage picture!"  Doesn't it look like a photo Dave Savage
>> would take?   ;-)
>>
>> All shots (except the sunrise) were taken with K10D, 50mm1.4.

>> 2)  Of course we went on rides--every ride the pier had to offer.  The 
>> last
>> ride was the Wave Swing, which had me screaming the whole time--though it
>> was fun--though it left my stomach quite churned.  I've provided a slide
>> show of the Wave Swing in both color & black & white.  You really must 
>> check
>> out the black & whites.  If you have the time you should really check out
>> the large still size.

>> 3)  After dinner we waited for the fireworks.  I don't think I've ever
>> photographed fireworks before.  If I did, it was with film & the 
>> negatives
>> are somewhere--who knows where.  The 1st one isn't that interesting; I
>> included it as the first firework shot I'm pretty sure I've ever taken--I
>> went sentimental on that one ;-).  But I also did a black & white
>> conversion, which I think is really cool.  I plan to go back--do more
>> fireworks--for a black & white study.

>> 4)  After I dropped my nephew at home, I met up with friends & husband. 
>> My
>> friend Belinda stayed the night, so, we put my husband to bed, put the
>> kettle on for a strong pot of tea, gabbed, then dashed out the door for a
>> sunrise. I don't know what happened with the color, but I'll do better 
>> next
>> time.

>> So that's my photo story of an incredible 24 hours.
>> Comments/critique welcome.
