My wonderful Fiance

My wonderful fiance, Amber, purchased this for me yesterday. It is a Canon Rebel XT (8.0MP) Digital SLR. I've been looking at this camera for a while.. The only problem is that now I want to buy an eyepeice, new lenses, an external flash, a remote, etc. etc. etc... I'm so happy.

John Henry: Great Bend Tunnel

While driving through Talcott, WV you will see a statue on the side of the road with a couple of signs explaining the story of John Henry. The signs and the statue are nice, but if you drive down the road a bit and follow a gravel road following the railroad tracks you will find this treasure. It is said to be the tunnel that John Henry was working on while he died. It now has no tracks, and maybe one foot of standing water inside. You can barely see light at the end of the tunnel and the air is cool like that of a cave.

Tape Sculptures

I found a website online sometime last week about tape sculptures and thought I would give it a try. tapesculpture.org
EDIT: It's a hand and coffee cup for those that can't tell. It was a bit hard to photograph.

Water

I was taking photos of the kids on the waterslide. On this shot I pulled the camera away because I didn't want the camera to get wet. I ended up with a panning shot of the water flying by.
