I spent the past weekend at a camp with 150 middle schooler's from LCBC. To say I had a great time would be an understatement. It felt really refreshing to just get out of town for a few days, and hang around with some good friends. Getting to play some bangin' rock and roll worship didn't hurt either. I am amazed at the energy of middle schooler's. Its either full speed go, or a full stop - with nothing in between.
I took the trusty Canon 30D with me and snapped some candid shots of us spending some time backstage. I love that camera, almost as much as my guitar, Susan. After using it for a while now, it just feels like an extension of my eye - I just look, focus and push the button. Snap, there you have it.
Oh well, there's not much else going on these days. I can't believe its almost February.

Busy weekend
We had a rather busy weekend.
Friday night: Bob Dylan tribute concert
Saturday AM: New tires on Sean's car and a baby shower
Saturday PM: Party at the Hoffman's
Sunday AM: Sleep in!!
Sunday PM: Photo shoot for the Wingert's 40th anniversary
Sunday afternoon we drove up to Messiah College and took some photos for our friends, the Wingerts and company. All manner of family and friends were there so we took the opportunity to get some nice family shots. It went great and we had a blast. It's always east to take great pictures when you have lovely surroundings and good weather. I enjoyed every moment.
It feels really good to have total digital control over all my pictures. Gone are the days of film. My new camera is starting to feel like an extension. I just imagine, point, compose and press the shutter. Click. And there it is.
Anyway here are some of my favorite pics: Click Here

Back to Work
Well our weekend trip to Spruce Lake came to an end all too fast. We had a great time.
The weekend's activities included a nice hike (where I found a lovely little stream and waterfall) a good round of mini golf, and a visit to see some cute puppies.
Who could ask for anything more you may ask? Yes I know, us Steele's live on the edge.
Worthy of mention is the old, creepy, abandoned hotel we found. The old Buck Falls Inn. Once very much the place to be in the Poconos, now derelict and according to local lore, quite haunted.
Oooooooh.
You decide for yourself.

More Pics
We spent this sunday afternoon enjoying a picnic with some of our good friends, Mark and Holly, and their little guy.
I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of their son playing on the playground and having a great old time.
It's usually a challenge taking pictures of kids, cuz' they wont look at the camera for more than a second!!
An eye constantly glued to the viewfinder, and a quick "trigger finger" usually means you can end up with some great candid pictures.
They're a great family, with another on the way - Holly is going to have her hands full soon.

Say cheese
Marci bought me a new digital SLR for my upcoming birthday, actually I bought it and told her about it. For years I have been wanting to make the switch from film to a digital SLR, but have been patiently waiting for prices to get down to a reasonable level. Not to mention the fact I have a lot of money invested in my older and now mostly obsolete film equipment makes the transition even more difficult.
I have finally faced the fact that the digital medium has now come of age, and its usefulness, speed and image quality have surpassed that of film.
Many rolls of film have been sent through my old camera, capturing everything from weddings, trips abroad, family, black and white portraits. Oh well.
I have long had a passion for photography - I'm sure I get it from my Dad.
Anyway, so I made the plunge, and invested in a nice Canon 30D. Now, I cant put it down.
No looking back for me!! I love the fact I can shoot, and view instantly. No more dropping off film, paying for developing, changing rolls midstream or arguing with the 17 year old kid behind the counter who printed my pictures with the color completely wrong.
I get home and edit, crop and adjust to my hearts content on our Mac. Also, the added benefit of being able to fit hundreds of shots onto one card is pretty sweet.
So, today I dragged Marci up to the butterfly garden in Hershey to take a few pictures. At first I could tell she didn't want to go. Highlighted by the fact she told me "Sean, there's nothing but beautiful flowers up there!!" I know, why would anyone want to see that right?
She ended up loving it, and we had a great time. I took a few pictures of some butterfly's
