Assignments!?

My mom wants me to take school pictures of my three younger siblings...one of them is a senior so I'll be doing her "senior" pictures. I may also be doing them for a friend of hers too, who is flat broke. Which is fine with me. I will do pro bono until I feel like I have a substantial amount of material for a portfolio AND the experience to start charging people for my work.

I wish photography projects came to me as easily as crochet or sewing projects did. >_>

A trip to the Sunken Gardens in San Antonio

Some of the best ones from that day. It was sweltering, but there was a breeze, and in the shade that felt nice.

I'm glad I got to go and see it before I leave San Antonio for a bit. If I'd been by myself I probably would have picked a spot to sit and write or think or watch for a while. They had some beautiful koi! I tried to get pictures but the water was really scummy :(

Anyway. The light was also really good to me that day - a little overcast, so that I didn't have to fight a lot of shadow <3

Enjoy :)

I know there's a flaw in it BUT...

You can't even see it!! Wow this posted smaller than I thought it would...but that's like 6 photos stitched together. Pretty neat, huh?

Would you care for some Grand Canyon? Why yes, I believe I would!

Oh, my bad.

I ended up not going to the zoo with the aunt and her 5 crazies. I opted to stay in the apt and clean...not my favorite thing to do, but the silence made it ALL worth it.

We're all goin' to the zooooooo tomorrow...

and I will be lugging my Rebel down there. So hopefully tomorrow I will get some neat shots to post in here! :)

Long time no post!!!

I bent a twist-tie in the shape of a heart the other day. For some reason it struck me as whimsical, so I photographed it. Results below :)
