Choose a subject, find a background that is not just a mess.
Shoot the subject against a background that gives you at least a chance at success.
Clutter is not your friend in a photo.
You're funny, and I like your attitude.

i dont know if it's only me but your photos are still looking a bit soft. yup, shoot in aperture priority or manual :O shutter priority is usually not the way to go for stills.

hahahaha yup... us canadians are going through temperatures of like... -20 to -45 degress celcius... so... 42 fahrenheit seems pretty good to us. i should mention i lay in the snow for a good 5 minutes trying to get a shot today... snow going down my jacket and all. :]
