Photography
Children Portraits
3I got asked to take some photos of some of our good friend’s children. They are preparing for a dance/gymnastics recital next month. The individual shots came out okay, but I was not too pleased with the group shot. See the last photo. I put them in the shade and you can see some distinct shadows on the faces. I had already ordered a light stand and umbrella and it should be here next week. I wish that I would have had it for this little impromptu shoot. I am still working on my color/tone correction. I just can’t get it exactly right. I am learning that it is more and more important to get it right in camera.



Busy with Life

Cupidity........
The most part of each day is spent brushing up on my vocabulary for the GRE which I am scheduled to take on May the 11th. I am going through a Master Word List in Barron’s GRE Prep book. After every couple pages of words there is a simple test. I have been averaging 12 out 15 on these tests. I am spending most of my time going back through and reviewing the words that I am not familiar with. This week I have also start studying for the Quantitative section. My math skills are ……lacking so this section is going to be my biggest headache.

I am thinking of letting So-Hee take the test for me. She seems to always want to study with JJ.
I have also been applying for numerous jobs but have had trouble finding exactly what I am looking for. I am trying to find a part-time job that will not eat up most of my time but still has a large number of hours per week. I have applied for a couple and waiting to hear back from them. I also have a couple of photography projects that are coming up in the next couple of weeks and even one that I will probably profit from~! I did have a few photos that were used for the new church website. Check it out here!
I also have been slowly recruiting teachers to teach in Korea. I am about 60% finished with my website and still need to fix some bugs and write a few more pages before it goes live!
JJ and I have been trying to cook more and have really stopped going out to eat. Can you tell which meals she cooked?





So-Hee has learned where her food bowl is and has gotten bigger in the last month.




I have a few more posts planned for this week. Expect to see them sometime toward the end of the week.

Wedding Photos
2Our wedding was on November 28th at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Hattiesburg, MS. We finally received our photos yesterday. It was a long drawn out process to get our photos and involved threatening our photographer with criminal charges. I will probably explain more in a later post but for now here are some of the photos.

I will post more photos later in the weekend along with an update on what we have been doing since I last updated here.
Snow and Birds
4We are still in Kentucky and are here for at least another few days. The plan is to head to Little Rock on Wednesday to spend a couple of days with my aunt and then back to Hattiesburg,MS by Friday. We are in the middle of a huge snow storm here in Kentucky. We were supposed to get snow last night but it really didn’t start until about noon today. We have gotten a few inches already and are expecting about 8-10 inches total. Today was a pretty good day for photos. Here are a few from today:

Downy Woodpecker


Redhead and Fruitloops

He let me get a couple of shots.
