Gotshoo? - You're somewhat daily dose of Shoo.

DSC03197

Welcome to Gotshoo?, proudly serving the inter-tubes since 2000. Gotshoo? is the personal of Chris Scheufele, that's me. I live in Springfield, Illinois with my wife and two dogs, Buddy and Clancy. I work during the day as an IT consultant and play at night with a freelance company called After Hours Development, and put together cool projects like Spfldbloggers.com


When I am not tinkering with computers and code, I am taking pictures trying to keep up with my daily photo, or riding my bike, or playing with the dogs.

Lunch time nap.

Some days I envy my dogs. I came home for lunch today and let them inside. They both plopped down on the couches and started napping.

Little Red Wagon

Buddy has earned the nick-name ‘Little Red Wagon’ because unless it’s 68 degrees outside he’s slow as a … dog… We end up pulling him ahead while Clancy is charging a clear path back home.

I brushed Clancy twice this weekend and combed out an extra dog each time.

Shooting my first wedding this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Thanks Dad for letting me borrow your gear. I think I am keeping the wide angle lens though. Too much fun!

Keeping an eye out for warm weather.

Forecast says that it is suppose to warm up by the end of the week. I feel a late afternoon cold coming on once it hits 65.

In the basement.

Sarah had class tonight so me and the “boys” are in the basement. I’d say they were plenty comfy.

Return of the daily photo.

IMG_3503

Last year I started doing a daily photo on the blog. Sometime during the summer it disappeared. The blog has been pretty empty since then with the occasional post. I don’t know if you apologize for those type things on the intertubes, like it’s a blog faux paus if you completely abandon a popular feature, but sorry, blame Twitter.

Part of the reason I am starting a daily photo back up is that I’ve been asked to shoot a wedding in May. I need to get back in the swing of things as well as practice with different light settings inside and outdoors.

The new dog.

IMG_0885, originally uploaded by gotshoo.

Still can’t believe my parents got a dog. I lived with them for over 24 years and never once did I think it was possible that my family would have an animal other than a fish or guinea pig. We went through four guinea pigs.

Well, all is said and done. My parents now have a new little one to watch over. Her name is Belle, she’s 2 years old (looks much younger than Buddy), and was adopted from a shelter. (Note to any of you looking for a good animal)

She’s a great dog. She came over and played with Buddy and Clancy this weekend. Didn’t take them long from them to sniff each other’s “parts” and become good friends.

I haven’t heard her speak other than when my parents came to pick her up and she howled with excitement.

Parents couldn’t have gotten luckier on finding a great dog.

Crop.

I haven’t been able to get the camera out this week, so here’s another photo from my Dad. He’s been bit by the shutter bug, so he keeps sending over photos through email. Dad, email is sooo 10 years ago. Upload these on Flickr!

I am a little lens envy. He’s been shooting with a Canon 60mm prime lens that he just purchased. It has produced some highly detailed photos.

I broke a photo of Buddy into different crops to see the magnitude of detail. Incredible.
