At least they're not lolcats.

I suppose I'm off to a rought start with waiting 8 days between posts. That's no way to run a blog. So here are a few photos of my cousin's darling cat Jelly. Yes, there is a Peanut Butter but he's not as social.

I was going to consider doing some different things with editing. Try working in Lightroom a little bit more, I still don't know how to use much of the program. But I liked the way the close-up turned out without any of that fancy stuff. Which I'm not too big a fan of anyway.

Same goes for this one, I like how it looks almost like I added a vignette. The composition also makes this one of my favorite shots of the day.

These are from January 13th, and I have plenty in my backlog from then until now so hopefully more consistant posting? We'll see...

cold-blooded cutie

a few weeks back sunny south florida encountered a rare freeze. on one of these unusually chilly evenings dan and i found a gecko outside of our front door. he had shut down all unnecassary body functions as geckos are prone to do under these circumstances. so we brought him in the house and let him get nice and warm. he was even nice enough to let me snap this before he went on his merry (and hopefully warmer) way.


new beginning

this won't be the first time i'm attempting a photo blog, but hopefully it is the time that i stick with it. the last time i attempted this it was going to be a 365 project. as much as i wish i'd have perservered and kept working on it, i kept up for about a week and then missed a few days, got discouraged and stopped all together. this time around i am trying not to overwhelm myself. if i post, i post. i'll do my best to record my efforts and hopefully it will motivate me to post-process more of my photos and get them up here.

so here it is, the adventures of a girl and her camera from mundane to magical.

" I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting."
