about me

I'm 28 and live in central Illinois. I've been married to an amazing man for three years. We have a little white dog and just bought our first house! We are also expecting our first child in October. I LOVE design and photography. I'm busy getting my own business up and going. We also do what we can to be a little more eco-friendly.

photography randomness

"The problem with photography is that it's such an accessible art form. People don't understand the fine line between recreation and art." Josh said that last night. I think that's why I sometimes can get down on myself about photography. Anyone with a nice camera thinks they are a professional photographer now. When really it's not about the camera or equipment you have... I truly believe that you can have a crappy little camera but have natural talent, and still make it as a photographer.

Yesterday was day three of not doing a 365 picture. All evening I had to keep reminding myself that I didn't have to take a picture. Around 10:00pm I couldn't stand it anymore and had to snap a picture. Hmm... I may be doing another year of 365. While I'm still deciding, there are a few of my friends doing the project! Yay for Eunice, Sondra, and Jess. Way to go, girls. You can do it! I really think that doing a 365 project is such a great thing. The easiest way to improve your picture taking ability? Take more pictures. This project forces that!

I could NOT agree more. If the talent is there, you can make it happen with any tool. Something I saw somewhere, that I thought was totally hilarious --

A photographer went to a friend's house to shoot the family portrait. The wife made a comment that he must be a good photographer because he had a great camera. After enjoying dinner with the family, the photographer thanked the wife for dinner and told her it was delicious -- she must have a great set of cookware, and went on his way.

I went and drooled on the D300 yesterday. :)
I have tried three times to comment on this but my thoughts keep growing into blog-sized commentary, so I think I will do a post over at my place later. :)
