Welcome to the REAL city Brian

Good to have dinner with some people I haven't seen in a long time. Brian, welcome to the center of the universe: Toronto.

I ate way too much and am going to have an awful time sleeping those 8 fajitas off.

Anyhow, someone emailed me mentioning that I didn't really talk much about my job in my last email. To be honest, God has really blessed me with a lot in this job and as much as possible, I don't want to sound proud of it because I really don't deserve everything that I have so I was vague in my last post.

With that in mind, I'll be a little more descriptive of what I actually do. My title is a loss prevention consultant. I visit all sorts of facilities in every area industry and analyze the property's risk of fire, flood, equipment damage, production bottlenecks, etc. I'll be working out of home and because of that, they've provided me with everything I need to work from home (car, phone, internet, etc etc.). So in a nutshell, that's what I'm doing. My training won't be complete until about this time next year so I've got lots to learn!

On another note, as you can see from the pictures posted below, I've been busy with my photography. I got some black and white film, a tank to develop and some chemicals and voila, cheap easy-to-develop pictures. I also decided to splurge on a film scanner and man, I'm impressed by its quality! I printed out the guitar pic on my HP cheapo all-in-one printer I got from work and the pics came out way beyond what I expected so I think I have a good system working now:

1. roll my own film
2. take good pictures <- to be improved
3. develop myself
4. scan on film scanner
5. learn to photoshop edit <- to be improved too
6. print out on printer
7. valuable picture that will be
worth something someday <- I can dream can't I?

Someone at work today asked for a copy of one of the crane pic I posted above so I'm already one step closer to being a good photographer!
