I’m a dork.

Front_doorOur front door needed the stain glass window replaced. In my head, this is blogworthy so I proceed to grab the camera when the following conversation ensues:

Me to the window installer: "No, please get into the frame of the door."

(Shy window installer ducks back into the picture. Susie fumbles with the camera and Ashleigh in her left arm.)

Guy in picture: "There isn’t a lot of light, you might want to use the flash."

Me: "Oh, that’s okay. This lens has a low aperture value and will give me all the light I need."

(Hear Andy snicker in the background and calls me a nerd because I use photography language that I barely know)

I continue to fumble with the settings– and take a second picture that doesn’t turn out.

Guy in picture: "Maybe try the fill flash on that thing. I’m sure you can manually pop it up."

I start cracking up because I realize that I have the wrong lens on and my AV will only go to F-stop 5.6… Giggle, nervous laughter.

I shoot another picture with the auto settings.

Me: "Can I put your picture on my blog?"

Guy in picture: "Your what?"

Apparently, he is the last living soul that has not heard of a blog.

Me: "A weblog. It is like a journal on the Internet. My family and friends read it occasionally. What’s your name? I’ll put that, too."

Guy in picture: "Mike. Uh, sure, as long as no one in New York sees it. I’m wanted in New York.

Me: (laughing like crazy!) "OH! You’re the Mike Jones wanted in NYC."

The moral to the story:
I’m a dork. I can’t even hide it a little bit.

    Such a cute picture. I have to admit, it never once occurred to me to take a picture of the water heater man.

    I hope you sent a copy of the picture to that guy. His family would love to see it. Why did you need new glass for the door? MOM
