Helpful Hints for the "Sunday Shooter"
When taking a lens from air conditioning into outdoor heat - wait a few minutes before snapping that first photo. The lens will need some time to adjust to the change in temperature. If you get in a hurry, your photos will be "fogged."

"I long to have such a memorial of every being dear to me in the world. It is not merely the likeness which is precious in such cases - but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing . . . the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! . . . I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest artist's work ever produced." ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning on photographic portraits

My name is Georgia. I'm happy to say that a short time ago I got very lucky. The Nichols family rescued me from a Humane Society shelter. I'm hoping that many of you will also consider getting your next pet from a shelter. Lots of wonderful companion animals wait daily, hoping for a lucky break that will change their life.
