Photo a day keeps the blues away!

DAY 1

Since it's Monsoon season here in Tucson I figure it's the best time to start since I LOVE taking sunset photos. Monsoon season gives the best clouds, wildlife, plants, mountains and sunsets (i.e. see photos below)


I know every person on Earth with a photo fetish does a 365 days of Photography. I know it's cliche but I think it's a good way to get back into doing photography the way I use to. Since it's Monsoon season here in Tucson I figure it's the best time to start since I LOVE taking sunset photos. Monsoon season gives the best clouds, wildlife, plants, mountains and sunsets (i.e. see above photos)


The following photo is kind of the inspiration of this new project.
      I placed this sign above the door originally to provide a little push to go out to the world and do something (if you can't read it, it says "Chase Your Dreams"). As I get older I realize the dreams I once had have dwindled into the back of my mind because the "adult" things in life take a precedence. 
      I recently joined a gym with my roommate and I am SO glad we did. We have gone to a couple of the classes they offer and I really enjoyed them, and am excited to continue to go! One type of these classes is called Body Flow (a combination of Tai Chi, Yoga, and Pilates). At the end of each class there is about a 5 minute Meditation period, the first class we went to the teacher said this quote: "Thoughts are like Shooting stars; they burn brightly for a moment and then are gone into the darkness". This quote got me thinking, if I don't act upon my thoughts they go away forever. One great idea could have been lost if I don't act upon it. However, some thoughts should be left to the darkness and I am hoping those thoughts and extinguished by providing an outlet such as photography. 
   


   On another note! The following photos are from the lilly ponds at Balboa Park. I love these flowers!



And an appreciation! I am SO thankful for my little itty bitty car! It is the cutest car and fits me so perfectly! If I had not made this purchase I would not be able to go so frequently to see my wonderful boyfriend in California! OR to see my family and make the kind of trips I do (i.e. drive an hour and half to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter 7 part 2 with my family).  I know it's super dirty but it's been raining a I don't want to waste money...I'll be bringing the power washer to it probably tomorrow!
Be on the look out. I am going to be doing a little blog everyday or at least every other day for a photo of the day! With all the rain we are receiving I hope to get out and do some hiking, perhaps this weekend!!!

Happy 21st Birthday Stephanie!

Day 6: Dinner I wanted to bring my point and shoot but it was dead and so was my SLR! I'm so use to the battery lasting me forever that I didn't think to check the batteries last night before our treck out for Stephanie's Birthday! We went to The Cheesecake Factory. I had the Crusted Chicken Romano, it came with a large portion of spaghetti with a small amount of marinara sauce. We started off with Spinach Cheese Dip and for dessert got a Dulce De Leche piece of cheesecake! Delicious. I didn't think about getting pictures of the other things since they technically were a part of dinner. Forgive me for I am new at this! I highly recommend if you go to The Cheesecake Factory to browse the menu before going as it is a bit overwhelming if you're unsure what your in the mood for...Good food though! And I have lunch for tomorrow! =]

Giving a little more creative juices!

Hello Blogging World ! After showing my pictures to Kathy , from a camping/hiking and beach trip, she suggested I make cards, posters, regular pictures, etc. and try to sell them. After contemplating it I decided I would come up with a way to do it. While taking pictures this past Saturday morning I came across this idea, Project SLR. I've wanted an SLR camera for a LONG time now and have not taken the time or effort to save money to buy one. Honestly I haven't found a REAL reason to have an SLR because I'm into photography but not seriously. If this seems to work (and maybe it will and maybe it won't) the money from the sold photos will go solely to a Nikon or a Canon, I have not set my heart on one or the other (although I loved and lost my first camera which was a Nikon, so I have partial feelings). I haven't completely decided on methods of doing this whole thing so bare with me while I try to conquer school! I most definitely would like to hear from you the ...

MOTIVATION!

Day 16: Something New Monday night I bought a swim suit. Last night I did a make shift shrine thingy, to hang it in my bathroom. Today I took a picture of it! The center has a Calendar page where I'm going to keep track of working out. I have a goal and I'm not stopping til I reach it!
