The Week Synop:

This was the week  that we celebrated that holidays with our Christmas party.  We went to a great restaurant and I have to say the food was just delicious.  I had a vegetarian dish called "Freeform Lasagna" and it was out of this world.  I also had two Bloody Mary's that quite hit the spot.  I'm normally just a straight up beer and Guinness drinker but I've been trying different things lately.  So, it was quite tasty.

I got on the Internet late Friday night and found that the Buzz was not working that well... Over the course of this weekend, the days that I planned to go around, check out all the great new pics and post --- I'm denied!  I'm not used to that treatment here.  I won't complain, though... I'm sure it is just a temp thing. 

The weekend is going to be my time to post and comment on all the lovely pics even though I was denied this opportunity this weekend.  I have to commit to some professional stuff and get that part of life going because I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Fortunately for me, I feel these are challenges that I will grow from.  So, I'm going to be a very attentive "student of life" this week. 

So many things happened this week but I'll keep it photo related here. So, here is the breakdown of the forthcoming photos:

Night Photos:

Anyway, these photos were taken on the auto setting without flash with my Canon A400 that is broken.  I have no idea what overall mode it is in since it broke in August but I've been very happy even with the blurry pics.

I started taking these pictures after I left the movie theater (watched King Kong) I was actually worried that the camera lens might missed up after going from the heat of my jacket pocket to the super freezing cold air.  I was lucky... everything turned out fine.   So, I still love the broken Canon and can't wait for my personal treat of an S80 come April. 

Forthcoming People Photos:

Because the camera is stuck in an unknown mode, the people shots come out kind of weird because the camera has a hard time with any movement.  Some of them came out nice, though.  I especially like one that is a group shot away from the table that shows the pictures on the wall of the restaurant we went to (Extra Virgin).
