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!!!

IT's HERE! =]

I've been working on this post for way too long! BUT I wanted to get it just right! anyway, my canvas picture came! I'm so excited. It looks awesome but now I wish I had spent the money on the 14x16, or whatever is the next size up. Here's a picture of the picture LOL   Now in the honor of all the rain we've had here in Tucson lately, I thought I'd give a show of thanks to my wonderful Rain Boots or Galoshes! I bought these beauties for $5 at Kohl's on clearance about 4 years ago. Everyone thought I was crazy. Everyone has a pair! I guess I'm a trend setter =P They have come in handy many times. I even bought another pair but I always seem to wear these ones... Valentine's Day! I know this is a little past due but today was the first day I have been able to take pictures. For Valentine's Day, instead of receiving a bouquet of roses, I received this orchid plant. I have yet to re-pot it but I need to do so soon! This is a close up of one o...

updates more often???

I have more to post but this is the limit I have for tonight. I think I am slowly getting back into being passionate about photography again. I realized everyone and their mom is into doing photography but I realized I'm different from them. I don't do it for the money or the fame. I do it for enjoyment. I love getting the reaction from people, good or bad. I dislike photographing people in settings and I only do them in candid photos, it seems more natural to me. I love doing nature though. My goal is (at some point) to own all the different lenses I can and see what I can do. Right now I am looking at the possibility of a macro lens. ANYWAY, here's a couple photos from a few weeks ago. ENJOY! A couple weekends ago I had the impulse to go hiking alone...well not completely, I brought my best friend, Nikon D90. I chose to go to Linda Vista Look-out. Below are the pictures I thought had the best potential of being called awesome! =] The pictures listed below a...

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 ...
