I forgot to watermark these before... so now I've re-uploaded them. Aaaannnd... there are practically twice as many. So Sean's rule of keeping posts to five photos or less is just fine for him, but I take more photos and make my own rules, so I'm saying fifty. Which means that there are somewhere between three and five more posts for Anne.
Going through images from my busy weekend of shooting (almost eight hundred pictures in two days), I discovered that at least one of my cards has now had 1000 pictures on it. It went from shooting DSC_9999 back to DSC_0001. So I thought I'd celebrate with a post, especially because I have been a total slacker lately and haven't posted anything.
Here's picture #1000, unprocessed, un-anything. Just the image, interesting or not, because it's a milestone.
Today I saw my first major fire damage driving through Carbon Canyon. I'd really like to go back and take pictures in the next couple days, but for now, here are some pictures from the LA Times fire blog.
Okay, so if you know me at all, you've heard me sing the praises of Jasmine Star, wedding portraitess extraordinaire! I've been an avid reader and follower of her blog for a while now (originally because it was just so pretty, but it didn't take me long to find all the golden nuggets of wisdom and gems of photos she has tucked away there!), and I've already informed my parents that, someday, she will be the amazing, awesome photographer at my wedding.
Recently, I was out with a friend and her roommates, and when one of the roommies found out I was a photographer, she exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, do you know J Star?" And, of course, we drooled and screamed like high school girls together, swearing that she'd someday photograph each of our weddings. Roommie number one even said, "[Roommie number 2] saw her at Target the other day!" and we discussed it like a celebrity sighting.
So, anyway, I love browsing through her posts to look at pictures, but because she's simply amazing, the lovely J* also writes super informative FAQ posts to help out her fellow photographers. Today, she's put up What's In Your Bag?, a comprehensive guide to lenses and their practical uses. Of course, she shoots with a Canon, and I'm a Nikon lover, but still. This is a good read for any photographer, beginner, intermediate, or advanced, and even those who are just playing with the idea of getting into the sport of photography.
I'm a big proponent of following J*'s blog on a regular basis. Go check her out!
My parents are on vacation in Sedona, Arizona at the moment, and they had an opportunity to visit the famous Antelope Canyon yesterday. You've probably never heard of it, but I can pretty much guarantee that you've seen pictures. My dad just e-mailed me this picture moments ago. Enjoy!
In all the excitement of yesterday (which wasn't really all that exciting, actually), I forgot to wish everyone a happy December! I hope that, wherever you are, you are officially enjoying winter (whether it's amidst piles of snow in the Midwest, tanning in California--though not this morning, which is rather bleak and rainy-looking--or some in between).
Don't forget to vote in the two photo contests below!
I was sent this link this morning. The good news?
I'm not on the list. The bad news?
Nobody reads my blog. So enjoy this and THEN go use that little e-mail button at the bottom of the post to send it to your friends!
Sean has food poisoning. Which is not very holiday-spirit-ish. Everyone should send him some chicken soup and a get well soon card.
Also sick, but much more entertaining, is Sean's phone, which has been sending me the same text message every three minutes since around 8:15 last night. Oh, yes. That does mean that I didn't really get any sleep last night, and also that Sean, who doesn't have a texting plan on this phone, is paying 15¢ per message, and we're nearing 300 (with no end in sight).
What's that you're asking? Why, yes, it is just a little annoying to have my phone vibrate, crooning out Ben Jelen's "Falling Down," every three minutes (sometimes more--maybe twice in one minute--sometimes less because it misses the three-minute mark). But I have to be honest: it is more than a little entertaining. I laugh every three minutes... how many of you can say that?
