So, its been a week since my last post. I was planning on blogging on Wednesday but I had to house sit until late last night.

So while I was house sitting, I took the opportunity to do some much needed photo-editing. I had a bunch of TTV shots that I needed to crop, etc. As I was going through the images, I realized that I am beginning to improve.

For those who don't know, my computer was broken for a good 3 weeks, and in that time I had multiple photo outings. So, by the time I got my computer back all my memory cards were full. As I looked through the hundreds of images I had, I realized that, with each photo outing, the number of good, usable shots increased. All of this leads to the overwhelming amount of photo-editing I had/have to do. That is really exciting and encouraging. I had been feeling a bit discouraged as of late with the way my images had been turning out.

While I was off work with my hip injury, I had the chance to have a photo day with my Best friend Mandy. There is this barn that I pass every day on my commute to and from work, its dilapidated and there is tall grass and old barbed wire fences etc., I had wanted to stop and photograph there every time I saw it but didn't have the guts to do the trespassing by myself. So, when Mandy and I went on our photo adventure together we went there. Here are two of the decent TTV's I got there:




While on our photo adventure we also went to sugarloaf mountain and took some different shots around the base of the mountain. I got a lot of interesting shots here, and because the roads were pretty deserted I was able to get some cool ones of the road. So below are a few of my favorite shots from that location.

We had SO much fun on this photo adventure (besides Mandy's getting hurt). I wish I had another day like this, where I'm off work and I can roam around with my best friend and take pictures of anything and everything I see.

My next post will have images from another adventure with Mandy.
Hint about the location in the next post: It use to be an amusement park, but is now a cultural center.

This is the beginning of something...

This is the beginning of something new. I am unsure whether it will end up being something good, bad, big or small, but it is the beginning. This is the beginning of my Blog.


Let me clarify some minor details first. I use to have a livejournal, and I use to updated it on a semi-regular basis. But its been almost 2 years since I've posted anything on it, and I almost forgot I had it. It was pretty much an ongoing online rant about things going on in my life and that isn't at all what I want in a Blog. I want to share my art, my passions and the small, barely noticed details of life and the world that are so interesting to me. So, I say this is the beginning, and it is, a second beginning, but a beginning all the same.


So here is my mission with this blog:

To share my creativity and the things in life that inspire and challenge me, the beauty of life, even if its not beautiful to everyone. This blog will chronicle my adventures in the ordinary, the journey that is life. I am setting out to blog at least once a week. This is my goal, whether or not it will happen, is a mystery yet to be discovered.
