So. We went for a drive...

...and the lighting was beautiful! This picture was shot at 5:18PM. Please forgive the blurriness, I was in the car. The picture really doesn't do it justice...Oh well. This is SOOC--no editing except resizing.

I got my calendar in the mail a few days ago. It's beautiful!! I can't wait till I actually get to use it. It's great quality, and it's so fun seeing my pictures in a calendar.

Don't you love the new layout of my blog? Isn't it so pretty?

I have new Photoshop actions. They're really pretty.

I went to Columbia on the first of this month with my dad and little brother. We walked around the campus a bit, but it was like 29 degrees, and really windy, and neither my brother or my dad had brought appropriate winter attire, so we didn't do much. I got to go to the bookstore, but I wasn't about to pay 45 bucks for a sweatshirt, no matter how cool it was. Oh yeah, and we got to see Mr. Fielder again (ClassEd dad and bass player for Neil Sedaka), went to Starbucks with him, and then got to stay for a bit of the soundcheck, which was probably the best part. Very fun.

I have only bought one Christmas present this year. Not good.

I hope to have my Canon Rebel Xs sometime next year, hopefully in time to take David's senior photos.

I saw Rescue Dawn this week. That was the slowest moving movie I've ever seen in my life. But I enjoyed it. Christian Bale sounds really funny when he yells.

I also saw Wall-E. That was the cutest movie I have ever seen in my life. And the two short films were great.

I also saw the trailer for the newest Disney/Pixar movie, Up. It has potential to be very interesting.

I think that's...Toodle Pip!

Oooh! Second Post!

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?
