Re: First day in South Padre Island

Skimboarding is fun, even tried it using a bungee one time, pretty interesting.

Re: Photos from the UMD Expo and the Crossing

Great pictures, what kind of camera are you using? Im looking forward to getting together with someone at these events and be able to talk a little photo jargon and share techniques. Were you using a polarizing filter?
