Just started shooting with my new Canon 20D, which I love.  Decided I would protect my LCD with a Hoodman plastic cover.  Received the hoodman yesterday and carefully attached it over the LCD.  When I went our shooting, noticed concentric circles which were inside the hoodman.  So took a thin piece of plastic and carefully lifted up the Hoodman.  Unfortunately, I actually lifted up my LCD!  After an initial bout of horror, pieced both Hoodman and LCD back into the camera.  Everything seems to be working fine.  Now, I am afraid to touch it again. 

Got up early Sunday to go shooting with Trudy and Celia.  We all went adventuring today in Uvas Canyon.  With the fall rains, Uvas Canyon is magical again.  It was Trudy’s first visit so it was fun to introduce her.  We spent 6 hours exploring the mile long waterfall loop.  Lots of fun.  On the way back, we discovered the Dollar Tree store and picked up a few bargains for good measure.

Got up on Saturday morning.  Bocifus was instantly on full alert for the possibility of going for an adventure.  After getting dressed, Miss Cho-Cho waddles in and gets in the action.  I tried to ignore the two dogs and go out by myself.  However, I had coyote howls, herding, the "paw" and moaning.  Since Chip was not around, I took both the dogs out to Sunol.  It got a little complicated with both the leashes and the tripod, but we all ended up having a good adventure.

Attended a 4 day workshop in the Grand Tetons. Instructors were Vincent Versace, Moose Peterson and David Black. Have to return to the area and explore more without all the time pressures of being in a workshop.

Almost did make the workshop, got food poisoning on Friday flight. Had to return and go home. Recovered on Saturday and got back on the plane on Sunday morning.

Wrote up a lesson about a really cool >Photoshop technique for controlling eye movement that I learned in the workshop.
