Raining on Parades

In two days I am supposed to be photographing my first "gig" for a friend's grandparent's anniversary party.
But I had to stay home today because of a nasty sinus infection.
I just hope I get to go on Saturday and play photographer.
Today (literally) rained on my parade.

Oh, Presents

Who knew that making the decision to purchase an SLR would cost so much? Well, I didn't. I think I figured that I'd buy the camera and *poof* I would be set for life.
And now I'm sitting here calculating how much it would be to purchase all the goodies to go with it.
I was spared some of the cost when my dad surprised me with a brand new tripod. I can't explain how happy I am, since that was one of the things on my list. Check!
Today I went shopping and finally bought a small camera bag to store my camera in. Nothing fancy, but it keeps it safe from the terrors of everday life.
With my new presents I feel like I can really start my photographic journey!

Once in a Blue Moon

Every so often the photographer must become the model.

And as photographers, we will edit until happy with our slightly un-modelesque pictures.

Yesterday during a photoshoot with my sister the camera was turned on me.

And These Days.

People like to say that as you get older, time flies by. Maybe that's why I try so hard to capture moments in my life through photographs.

On a recent photoshoot I (and, well, my mother) captured some memories of myself and my sisters.

And In the Beginning

Everything has to start somewhere.

And this is my start in the blogging world.

Photography has always interested me. My parents bought me a FisherPrice "camera" when I was only three years old, and I carried that with me everywhere. Soon I graduated to my first film camera, and then to my first digital, then to a great point and shoot.
I now own my first SLR, an Olympus E-420.

As I learn to use the camera and improve my own photography skills, I'm sharing my experience on the Internet.

I hope you enjoy.
