<p>I haven't blogged since last Fall! I meant to, and even started an article, but realized that not enough was happening in the area of photography to justify it. Instead, I had been working on a stained glass piece that now hangs in my kitchen window.</p>

<p>I also taught stained glass to a woman from our church, who completed her project and gave it to her brother for Christmas. It's a joy to create, and to teach.</p>

<p>In the middle of January my wife and I went on a cruise to the Caribbean: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Grand Turk, and Nassau, Bahamas. The weather was warm and the accommodations were great (in contrast to the weather in Pittsburgh, which was down around 0 degrees Fahrenheit). I got some great shots of the ship with my different lenses. I tried to shoot when there was no one in sight -- a bit of a challenge on the bright, warm days in the popular venues like the Sun Deck.</p>
