Weston, MO


It was fun. I took 194 pictures. So many would look sooo good enlarged.

Be checking out my photography blog http://www.laurenmaxwell.wordpress.com/ for more pictures (should be up by Friday). Also check out http://www.lowenphotography.blogspot.com/ for even more (I'll try to post these the beginning of next week).

Oooh! Second Post!

(downtown kc)

School starts next week. I get to take a photojournalism course! It should be fun. I like a more photojournalistic approach to photography. Much cooler.

Anyway. Oh, right!! I sorta kind a have a job doing simple housework for a semi-invalid who lives in our neighborhood. I've enjoyed it so far.

I shot my very first paid photoshoot earlier this month. True, it was for my brother, and yes, I only made five bucks, but still. I'm getting paid. Or supposed to be getting paid. He hasn't done it yet.

So. We'll be going to Colorado in September. Hopefully I'll get lots of good photos. I was also hoping anyone who reads this would suggest a couple of books for me to take on the trip. I'll probably bring Northanger Abbey (I still haven't read it!), but I can't think of anything else.

So...Any good books I should read?

Hello!

Hi everyone! This be my new blog. I doubt I'll post one here much, but I'll try.
