Sep 13th, 2008 | "Our New Pet Spider" Meet our new pet Charlotte. Actually I am kidding about the pet thing, and I didn't give her a name either(although Charlotte, while being cliché, is a suitable name). This is a female Golden Silk Spider, also known as a Banana Spider. She decided to build a huge web in our front yard, stretching from our power line 15 feet above to the ground. I found here this morning when I was putting Aubrey in the car to go run some errands. I have seen these spiders before but never this big. Her body was almost 1 1/2' long and her legs spread could cover my palm. I decided that she would make a perfect picture of the day. These spiders are beautiful and are very handy at removing unwanted pests from the yard. I really hope that she decides to stick around and as long as she's here, I will make sure to keep clear of her web so that I don't mess it up. |

About meI am a 26 year old broadcast engineer from Pensacola, FL. I was 14 when I bought my first real camera, a Canon AE-1 Program with a 50mm/1.4 and 135mm/3.5. I took photography in high school and college, learning about the technical aspects of photography as well as dark room processes. After high school, I wasn't taking as many pictures as I used to because of the cost of film and developing. A while later, I bought a point and shoot digital camera and started taking lots of pictures again. In October of '05 I bought a Rebel XT and really caught the bug again. I had been holding out for a while, waiting for the Canon 5D to be updated, but it got to the point where I needed a new camera. This May I purchased a 40D. I will be eventually buying a 5D but for now, I need to build up my lens collection.I have taken more photographs in the last 3 years than I have in my entire life before that. In addition to digital, I have also developed an interest in Polaroid photography, which is bad timing since Polaroid is discontinuing instant film. I am also looking into trying out medium format and possibly going back into b/w 35mm. I am working on getting better at photography and hope to one day possibly do this for more than just a hobby.LinksMy Polaroid PhotoblogMy personal website Future Home of My Design Website My Photo Projects Gallery
