My New Toy!

I have acquired a brand new toy. I recently purchased a Nikon d60 camera. Thanks to some guidance from my good friend and neighbor Tim, I am now a fledgling photographer! However, as Tim once pointed out to me, "Everyone with a camera thinks they are photographer." His point was that there is a lot more to photography than point and shoot. He is slowly teaching me how to manipulate my camera to get the shots I want. I will be showing you guys some of my pictures and would love to get you comments on them. If you would like to see more of them, go to this address....

Above this post is one of my first attempts at nighttime photography. Enjoy! I know I do!

SEC CHAMPIONSHIP

I am well aware that I may be writing a retraction of this on Monday....but here goes nothing!

I believe Alabama is going to beat Florida in the SEC championship game of Saturday. This season for Alabama has been nothing shy of amazing and unexpected. Even if Alabama happens to drop the game, we still go to the Sugar Bowl (most likely to destroy Utah). When Nick Saban was hired to be the head coach at Alabama, many thought that it would take him several years to even begin to right the wrong that had been going on down at the Capstone. I myself thought the best we could hope for this year was 7 or 8 wins. However, it seems the Tide is turning.

Saban and the Tide may very well lose these next two games. However, even if that occurs, this season was a huge step in returning Alabama to its deserved position in the football hierarchy.
