//Good Days

Yesterday we went bowling and watched Prince Caspian. And I got a new boyfriend, ;-) And had a lunch date with him. Here he is:

Hehe. [And today he jumped up on my lap and was like, "I get to sit with my girlfriend." Awww, I love my Dorian."] So yeah, we went bowling with a group of people, I spent some time with the boys, and had a date night with Matt and we had ice cream and watched Prince Caspian.

Today I had a very long, but very busy day today. Went bowling this morning. [Got a 172]. And then went to visit Matt's Mom and siblings. And then had to endure bad drivers, long lines, and horrible people, to buy a birthday present for Jordan. Then Jordan's birthday party. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it was go go go.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday, or at least are staying out of the way of the crazy shoppers. :-)

//Aspiring

I am an aspiring photographer. I would not call myself professional, not just yet, but it is something that I am diligently working towards. I love to shoot anything and my camera is basically attached to my hand. I think that it goes without saying, to those who know me, that I would spend nearly all my time taking photographs if life would permit me too. But, alas, there are other things that need to get done. My favorite subjects have got to be children, I think that their innocence shines through and photographs and I am happy to be able to capture the emotions that they so openly wear, without fear of what others will think. It is fun to have to work for good shots of children, you can take a picture of child sitting and smiling, or you can take a photograph of a child how they really are.

Since this is my first post to my blog it is going to be overly photo heavy. I think that having an overcap of what I have done before and recently will give a good starting point to how I grow and what I end up achieving. Another thing that I love to photograph is nature and flowers. It can be so hard to find a new angle on things because a lot of people have 'done it' before, but it is still fun to try.

Along with children, I just like to photograph people in general. I think there is something amazing about being able to tell a story, give a personality, or preserve a memory in a photograph. I am a strong believer in making prints, even now when everything is digital, there is just something almost magic about being able to see what once was. It gives a sense of moving foward and it helps to remind us of where we have been before. So far I have only had one real shoot/job. I didn't get paid for it, but I think it gave me some experience, it was an awards ceremony. Other than that I have only made photographs for people that I know and people that I am close to. I hope that soon I will be able to make photographs for other people; that I can make this not only my passion but my job. I am at school for photography at the moment in SF and I am enjoying my classes tremendously.
