I think that my biggest problem with vacations is the picture taking. Not that I don't want to take the pictures, 'cause I do, but it is the amount of pictures that I take. For example, I was out of town for 3 week, exactly, and I took 488 pictures. FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT!! The math on that is 23.238 pictures a day (488/21=23.238). Does anyone else take 23 pictures a day? I might have a problem.
But every shot was priceless. Well, almost every shot because I am far from perfect and had to trash too many -- some while I was there and others after I dumped them from my camera. But seriously, could you imagine if I hadn't deleted any pictures while I was there?! Definitely over 500 shots in those three weeks, but I digress...
I have every intention of writing a post about the pictures and the accompanying activity, but I have barely started the editing process. And editing is necessary because my sensor is d.i.r.t.y and I have not yet taken the time to figure out if it is self cleaning or if I have to deal with it ($100.00 to clean it is more that I am willing to pay, especially when photo shop does such a good job for me). In case you were wondering, a dirty sensor leaves pretty black dots on your nicest pictures.
So, for dealing with my ramblings, I will treat you to one of my favorite pictures of the boys at the Oregon Coast. This vacation offered their first experience with the ocean.
