holy out of focus, batman!  if you don't own a tripod, which it doesn't look like you do, try setting the camera up on a coupla blocks with a sock full of sand (so you can position the camera and know it won't move).  i used to suck at taking pictures, but i've been picking up tips and tricks along the way and now i can actually take a picture less than 12" from the camera and still be in focus...

Look forward to seeing you!

With a digital camera in "macro", you can get pictures in focus down to 2-3" depending on your camera.

Most cameras now have a delay function to let you get in the picture. Use that with the sandbag, and your pictures should improve. It eliminates the wiggle caused by you pushing the button.

If you use the "image size" function in your camera's menu and set it to 640x480, the photo will be large enough to see detail, but won't require scrolling when you post it. :)
