Top 20 ~ Item #1: Get Awesome Camera, Learn How to Take Awesom Pics - Status: In progress...

This past Sunday I went on a photo field trip with Fernando, from Chimpsy, and seven other eager photogs.  We met up at Union Station where we had an hour of lecture on how to use the camera's features, followed by an hour of time outside putting theory into practice.  Below are my outcomes - enjoy!

*Gaahhh* I can't believe that SEVEN MONTHS have Passed!!

Wow.  When I get going, I go, Go, GO!

I have been away at a military school since January 24th of this year.  I just got caught up in the business of being busy, there! So much so, that I have neglected to work on my Top 20.  Well, that's not entirely true.  Explanations below:

I attempted to schedule one of those photography classes, but  didn't make the departure time...

I started guitar lessons from a friend there and learned six chords, even (A, Am, C, D, E, G)!


I also organized for our class to complete the 200 mile American Odyssey relay - this year I did 17 miles!


So, I guess that's not too bad for a kid who wasn't trying to make it happen, eh?



HOWEVER, in the short time that I've been back, I've already started on more than a few items:

#1 - I've scheduled a photography session for the last weekend in July (yay)! 
#10 - Go sky diving.  Also happening the last weekend in July!  Although, after talking to my buddy who IS certified, it may or may not be feasible for me to get certified...so I may amend that for me to complete a Solo SkyDive :) 
#13 - I've scheduled my first official guitar lessons...next week and the week after.  Once I try out this instructor and get my new work schedule - I will continue, super excited about that!


That's it for now, but I'd really like some thoughts on the following from YOU:

#8 - Climb a Huge Montain Range (recommendations?)
#11- Complete 10 Endurance Events (what classifies as an endurance event?)
