DSLR

As a WONDERFUL gift from my family, I was given a Canon Eos Rebel XS and I'm soooo crazy excited. It's my first SLR and I'm pretty excited. Still getting used to it, of course, but I'm working on it ^-^

First plan: I'm thinking about doing a 365. Instead of self portraits though, I'd like to do a portrait of someone else for every day. Maybe, maybe not. I still have time because I'd like to start on January 1st. Just so I can always remember when I have to end ^-^

Changes in the upcoming.

So I've been heavily inspired as of late. And I've noticed that I'm also doing alot of these...computer self portraits. I enjoy them I suppose.

Anyways, I'm setting up for a shoot tomorrow. And hopefully an AMAZING social commentary shoot in the coming week. I'm extremely excited. My model McKayla is FANTASTIC and I love to work with her so it should be a good shoot.

Details come out blurred when you're falling.

Present saw the past.

While browsing my Flickr account, I stumbled upon this photo of myself. It's well over a year old, but the difference between that version of myself and the person whom I am today...the things that have changed are quite amazing.

Another reason why I love photography. As photographers, we're the historians of the world if you really think about it. We capture every moment of every person around us. Every change, every shift in the atmosphere is frozen through our lenses. I love it. It's a very powerful tool, to use a camera. It's not just pointing and shooting, it's capturing life before it ends.

I feel like this.

So I had originally planned on going to the bank tomorrow, taking some quick shots down town, then going to work for some candid.
But you see, I feel like crap. I think I have a cold -_- And I've never done alot of candid shots so I was hoping to test the waters with my lovely coworkers. Needless to say, I'm neither in the mood nor physical shape to take on such a demanding task.
Oh well. Embarassing photos of my friends will have to wait until I'm well enough to breath through my nose ^-^
