Random pictures from my everyday life...

These are pictures taken between November 14-16, 1999 in various places at work, home, etc.

These are also my first pictures with my own digital camera, so some of them are a bit fuzzy. I'm still getting used to the way it works when I override some features manually. I haven't mastered control of its auto-focus mechanism yet, sometimes it focuses on things I don't want it to.

I will master this beast, its only a matter of time.

Since I wanted to get some practice before going on a serious trip this weekend, I thought I'd warm up by capturing parts of my everyday life..
