Dream Camera

I'm sure along my photography way, I will discover more equipment, particularly cameras, that I will want. A LOT.

Currently, my dream camera is the Hasselblad 500 C/M. At Watkins we are able to rent equipment for free. This past weekend I finally figured out how to use the Hasselblad and had an absolute blast taking photographs with it. In fact, my style of shooting completely changes when I shoot with it. It's great that we are able to try out this equipment before we go buy it.

I'm off to do some schoolwork with thoughts of the Hasselblad...

Au Revoir Original Bumper

Remember my car accident a few months ago? Well, I finally got the whole thing settled and took it in to be repaired yesterday.

Upon picking up my newly cleaned and repaired auto, I spent some time with my friend Shelly. On my way home, I was driving next to a pickup truck. I noticed that it was carrying a bumper. "Hm," I said to myself. "That one is silver like my car." Upon further investigation, I realized that it was crumpled in the same spot as mine was. They sold it to someone who was evidentally going to fix it and resell it someone else.

It was then that I said, "Au revoir original bumper. Thanks for serving me well."

Dog Fever

It's crazy how throwing a ball to a friend's dog sometimes makes you want to get one....





Brewer, you're the best friend's dog I've ever had!

Tea Party

I was invited to Julie's daughter's 4th birthday tea party as the official photographer. The girls were all dressed up and pretty cupcakes were the big hit!
