Good Instincts

Good Instincts
Photo-A-Day #1485

Allison tells me that whenever the photographer or videographer at a wedding stands in front of me it means I have good instincts. I think it is because they like to stand in front of any guy who has a camera as big as theirs. Not that I’d ever get in the way of a professional photographer who is being paid for a wedding or event. I just seem to always grab the spot right behind the real photographer.

Last night Allison and I went to the wedding of her cousin Beth. We had a very nice time and got to spend that time with her parents, cousins, brother and Sister-In-Law, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The wedding was a very nice one and everyone had a great time. I took a bunch of photos but need to do some processing. They are all pretty grainy because I didn’t use flash so as not to disturb anyone. When I get a moment, not sure when, I’ll have to post those photos and the pajama party ones.

Yesterday was also Free Comic book day and I picked up books at Newbury comics as well as at Wild Time Comics. Wild Time is my local comic shop but occasionally something on my pull/sub list gets missed, this stinks because I pick up my books infrequently so I end up having to go somewhere else to find the books that got missed. Yesterday was a pretty good haul too.

We left Eva with our friends T.R. and Michael, they took her to dinner and she entertained them to no end. She also, thankfully, slept very well for them. We really appreciate that they took the time to help us. Apparently it also helped them work on their wedding plans as well.

Free Comic Book Day: Astounding Wolfman

I have always had a spot in my heart for were-wolves. I wish that they explored the werewolf character of Oz in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I enjoy reading about the were-people in the Laurell K. Hamilton books. And I have read a series of books about a werewolf in ancient Rome.

On Free Comic Book Day picked up The Astounding Wolf-Man and it was one of the most enjoyable books I picked up that day. It is the first book in a new series and the first issue was totally free. It tells the story of a man who is attacked by a werewolf and becomes one himself. Basically issue #1 was an origin story and we learn that there is more to this ‘curse’ than meets the eye. I may pick this one up on my regular rotation.
