DailyPhotos > irishmurr  > Photography > Daily Photos (Jan. - June, 2009)
I have a Canon Rebel XT and a EF 28-135mm lens, a EF 75-300mm lens and a EFS 60mm Macro lens (all Canon). I've never really done any pp, but got Photoshop Elements last year and am slowly learning to do some post processing.

I began posting on the daily photos community two years ago and hope that making this effort on a daily basis has helped to improve my photography skills -- but realize that I still have a long way to go! Any suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.

irishmurr > Here's my tribute to Art and his wonderful Route 66 series, which I enjoyed so much.  It's a cd holder that I'd gotten for Larry, which was supposed to go in the Cadillac room with all his other automobile stuff -- but which somehow ended up in my livingroom.  hmmmm, wonder how that happened?  :-)

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."
   ~~ Albert Einstein



It's another busy, busy weekend for the Murrays -- I'll check in when I can.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend -- enjoy!
irishmurr > I managed to get outside between the raindrops to get this bloom on my strawberry plant.  (April 30, 2009)



"The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain."
   ~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
irishmurr > I was thinking of Dave today -- as I was taking photos while waiting for my bus.  It was actually a pleasant way to pass the time on a lovely spring day.   (April 29, 2009)



"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
   ~~ John Quincy Adams
irishmurr > Just another Maeve shot  

I didn't even plan on picking up the camera today.  It was cold and rainy outside, and I still have to work on the orchid photos from a month ago, the Notre Dame photos, Larry's bd photos .... and figured the last thing I should be doing today was taking more photos.  But then, Maeve stopped by with that smiling face ....  (April 28, 2009)




"If you don't have a smile, I'll give you one of mine."
   ~~ Anonymous
irishmurr > It was a gorgeous weekend around here -- perfect for going barefoot!  (April 27, 2009)


"What a wonderful beautiful thing, to wiggle your toes."
   ~~  Dalton Trumbo
irishmurr > Today was Photo Assistant Larry's birthday ... and you know there were grandbabies in the house to help him celebrate.

Sorry I wasn't able to comment much over the past couple days, but it was a busy weekend.  Hope to catch up with you all soon!  (April 26, 2009)



"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened."
   ~~ Jennifer Yane
irishmurr > Gravy and Gertie

You might remember Meredith from her first birthday a couple of weeks ago.  She's the granddaughter of our dear friends, who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary today with lots of family and friends.  Our children grew up together and it's so wonderful to see the next generation growing up together too.  We call Maeve "Maevy Gravy" and they call Meredith "Mertie Gertie."  Since they're only 6 months apart, we're figuring when their graduations come around we'll all still be celebrating together.  And we'll probably have a banner that reads:  "Congratulations Gravy and Gertie!"  (April 25, 2009)



"A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails."
    ~~ Donna Roberts
irishmurr > It was popsicle weather around here today!  (April 24, 2009)



"Joy is the feeling of grinning inside.” 
   ~~ Melba Colgrove
irishmurr > Today was a point-and-shoot day -- and I do like that macro setting.  (April 23, 2009)


"Flowers really do intoxicate me."
    ~~ Vita Sackville-West



Betsy (shutterbuglady) sends her regards to everyone here.  She's doing a little better and is trying to get ready for her show, after which it will be some much needed r&r.
irishmurr > There's nothing like driving toward Notre Dame and getting my first glimpse of that Golden Dome.  (April 22, 2009)





"I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.”
   ~~ Jacques-Henri Lartigue
irishmurr > Brightening my day.

It was a busy day at work and I still need to do something with our Easter photos and our Notre Dame photos, and even those orchid photos I took a couple of weeks ago ..... but with Maeve, Johnny and Michael in the house, I took a break and didn't worry about all the things that  need to get done.  

This one's for Andrea.  :-)

"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little, soon-forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heart-felt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling."
   ~~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
irishmurr > Campus life.

Still working on our Notre Dame photos and thought I'd give this one John's watercolour treatment.  (April 20, 2009)


"I learned three important things in college - to use a library, to memorize quickly and visually, to drop asleep at any time given a horizontal surface and fifteen minutes."
   ~~ Agnes DeMille



And to answer all the questions about the Tony Packo hot dogs -- yes, they were delicious!  :-)
irishmurr > Passing through Toledo, we took Jamie Farr up on his suggestion:

"If you're ever in Toledo, Ohio, on the Hungarian side of town, Tony Packo's got the greatest Hungarian hot dogs. Thirty-five cents ... "
  ~~ Maxwell Q. Klinger from "The Interview" episode of M.A.S.H.
irishmurr > The third Saturday in April always means football at Notre Dame -- and you'll usually find us there!  (April 18, 2009)





"A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall." 
   ~ Frank Leahy
irishmurr > We're still traveling, but here's a quick shot of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart Church which is on the campus of Notre Dame.  No matter how many times I walk into this church, it takes my breath away.

We're heading home today, so hopefully I'll be able to catch up with all of you soon!  (April 17, 2009)



"I came here as a young man and dreamed of building a great university in honor of Our Lady.  But I built it too small, and she had to burn it to the ground to make the point.  So, tomorrow, as soon as the bricks cool, we will rebuild it bigger and better than ever."
   ~~ Revered Edward Sorin
Here's my tribute to Art and his wonderful Route 66 series, which I enjoyed so much. It's a cd holder that I'd gotten for Larry, which was supposed to go in the Cadillac room with all his other automobile stuff -- but which somehow ended up in my livingroom. hmmmm, wonder how that happened? :-)
(May 1, 2009)
