I received the 8×8 album that I printed for my aunt’s and uncle’s 50th anniversary, as well as the printed DVD. They look are great. Here’s what they look like:

Five little monkeys, climbing in a tree—and none fell out—you know that don’t you?

Painted faces are fun–especially one with a butterfly on it!

Bruce Springsteen’s song,”Working on a Dream,” says it all.  I hope you, too, are working on a dream. Go for it and don’t give up!

Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely
I think of you and i’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

Now the cards i’ve drawn’s a rough hand, darling
I straighten the back and i’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

Come on!

I’m working on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream
And i know it will be mine someday

Rain pourin’ down, i swing my hammer
My hands are rough from working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

Let’s go!

I’m working on a dream
Though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay
I’m working on a dream
Well our love will chase trouble away

Alright!

[whistling interlude]
That’s professional whistling right there!

I’m working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday

The sun rise up, i climb the ladder
The new day breaks and i’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

Hey!

I’m working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday
I’m working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream
And our love will make it real someday

Some more from playing with the 85mm 1.8:

I got to borrow a friend’s 85mm 1.8 this weekend. Although it isn’t an L lens, the extra stops and length certainly make a difference to the amount of light coming though the lens—and the bokeh is so creamy:
