What I've Been Up To...

If you haven't noticed, I'm psyco-nuts about photography. I've learned a lot since I started in August...I do know what f-stop and apature is now...Finally. I still have sooooo much to learn, so I've been practicing.

Mindy & Manny

My sister and her new Fiance' were my first guinea pigs. I took their engagement pictures. I think I've learned a lot since then, but I like how they turned out anyway. They are so cute together...SEE!

This is Kristin & Jason

Some friends that let me practice on them too

We had fun playing together!

I Had More Practice at the Park

Me and some other lady I know, that is as obsessed as I am with photography, came and played with me. We took my Sister-in-law and her family along with my family to the park for pictures.

I just can't get enough! This is way toooo much fun!

Okay, we had fun too. We left late, so the light was bad and I was having problems feeling motivated. But we got some great shots and had fun in the process.

Here's one I played with on Photoshop.

Tomorrow I have some engagement pictures that I'm doing. I'm going to shoot the wedding with my cousin in February. I'm not sure I'm completely ready, but I think I'll do fine. I have another wedding this next weekend with my mother-in-law. That, I'm not ready for. I'm so nervous! I better keep practicing!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

Beautifully Broken

Today we explored our local run down buildings. I had a blast! Look what we found hiding around town.

This is the inside of an old milling plant. I usually don't care for graffitti, but this was hidden from the street, a kind of neat place for people to express themselves.

Here is more from inside the mill
This is the outside of the old mill. This is what is visible from the street. Kind of neat. I didn't even know this was here.
Here is another old building we found. There were "No Trespassing" signs everywhere but I couldn't help myself. It's absolutely beautiful there. This is just across the street from the mill. I'm not sure what it use to be.
This last place was a couple towns away from where I live. It's just an old abandoned farm in the middle of nowhere. I fell in love with it's unique charm. I'm sure the surrounding neighbors think of it as an eyesore, but there was something about it that I fell in love with.

This place was still full of stuff, mostly junk! There was a cofee pot still in this old bus that didn't look to bad except for the dust and bugs. I wondered where the owners went?

Anyway, we had fun exploring on this first day of 2009! Thanks for stopping by!
