I picked up a new lens for my camera in time for Christmas festivities. It’s a lot better than the kit lens for taking natural-light photos indoors, but I still overestimated its capabilities—girls, you were right about needing the flash. Here are a few pictures I like that turned out okay or I was able to salvage.
My name is Matthew Xavier. I live in Minnesota, read books, and write software (for fun and profit).
Many years ago at a friend's high school graduation, I spent an hour at a table with my brother and our band director. We were strange people. I ate one mint for half an hour, our band director made faces in his salad dressing, and my brother melted things in the decorative candle.
One of the things my brother melted was a plastic fork. He carefully heated it only just enough that the tips of the tines curled neatly into little coils. We examined it and decided that surely it was no longer good for stabbing people...or food. Thus was born the original safety fork: harmless, but useless.

I think the pictures are mighty fine. They capture personality with such good expression.
Would you e-mail Karl’s picture to me with higher resolution? I’ll put it on the desktop for a while.
Thanks again for the Christmas present! It is up and running from the laptop.
