Time Away

So i had to get away from O-town.  I was not doing anything down there, and the whole being alone for that long has not been very healthy for me.  For instance.  Last night I did not go to bed till 5:00 am.  I was up watching tv, movies and drinking some dp n jack.  So I decided that i would come up to Sioux City and be with family.  I figured I can wait for the phone just as up here as I could down there.    So I left after I shot my brother and his family photos.  To be honest, I was not really happy with any of the shots I got.  But I guess that is sort of the way it is with any Photographer.  I think the main reason I was not really pleased with the images was that my lighting gear was doing the this really annoying thing where puts these noise lines throughout the image.  I have been seeking advise on why this is happening to my images, but so far to no avail.   I have some theories about it.  One being the fact that I am using rechargeable batteries.  Rechargeable batteries are 1.2v as where a normal alkaline or lithium battery is 1.5 volt.  Now I would think that the capacitor would get charged enough to put out full power.  But I am not sure.  At any rate.  I told my Mum that a lighting kit would be a cool idea.

So I guess that it is getting late.  And I actually want to get out of bed in the morning and do stuff.
