Sad but True...

My Last Photography Assignment

My very last assignment was People in Context. I got to go over to the Arnold's house to snap some shots of Levi playing in the back yard, and Greyson eating some dinner on the patio...
This first one is my favorite...





I had an absolute blast in my "Into to Photography" class! Even though I was carrying just about the craziest schedule I have ever attempted, I STILL had a blast! They need to rename this Summer class "We are going to tease you with a few really cool parts of Digital Photography, so much that you are left begging for more!" :) Okay, so that would not fit into an academic catalogue very well, but that is what I am left feeling. Even though I was going into work at 6:30 am, skipping lunch time and working Saturdays to make taking this class possible, I am still left wanting so much more of it. There is SO much to learn! I still have another 6 elective credits to fulfill before I finally graduate so I hope to find more Photography Classes to take, even if it means taking them somewhere other than NU.
Who knows what is to come...all I know is I want more! :)

Assignment: "Floral"

Only one more day of class...
I am a little sad.

Assignment: Still Life

Today's assignment was still life...



It is funny how my favorites change from before class, to after class. Sometimes they don't change, but today it did. My favorite of the three was the middle, of the French Press, coffee mug and beans. However, after class my favorite was the first one...of the black shoes. The professor and my class mates comment on all our photos. Today, the professor told me how everything about the first photo, of the black shoes was "right".
I would like to think that I am not influenced easily, but not today...the black shoes are now my favorite. (big smile)
Now onto "Floral" for tomorrows assignment....not my favorite thing...I have a few "outside the box" ideas...any one have suggestions???

Assignment: Portraits

Over the weekend, my assignment in Photography class was Portraits...
Let me know what you think!

I need your vote!

I need to pick one of these to turn in for my Day 3 Assignment of Photography class...

Tell me your favorite!!!





This is not one of the choices, since the assignment is to be "abstract", but thought is was cute...


Q: When does a busy girl in Seattle that is in a Photography class take pictures?
A: When she is waiting to get on I-405 at 4:55pm on a weekday. :)

Photography Class Day 2

My Greg...This is the picture I chose to turn in for day 2...I got an "A" on "My Greg" :)

A more abstract shot...
Can you guess what this is???

Photography Class

I am very excited to be taking a Intro to Photography class in addition to my World Literature class right now. Even though my schedule is crazy (Starting work at 6:30am, some days haveing class till 10:00pm) I am really enjoying being able to have a "creative outlet" amongst the other things in my life right now. Each day of class (9 days total) I will try to post one of my favorite photos from the day's assignment. Hopefully they will get better as we go! :)

Best of Day 1...

My Best Birthday Yet!

Okay, its finally here!
Greg surprised me with the most wonderful birthday...to date! :) I asked for shopping money for my birthday, and Greg thought that was pretty boring. SO, he decided to fly me to San Francisco to go shopping for my 25th birthday. We had an amazing time in our "special" city, we can't wait to go back again.
Our lovely hotel room...


Outside our hotel after dinner Saturday night...

In the hotel lobby waiting to go shopping in San Fran...

Saturday we went to The Thristy Bear Brewery for lunch. We had a wonderful, wonderful time! Did I say that we had a wonderful time at lunch? :) Here is a little look at some of the wonderful tapas that we had. We also experienced their Valencia Wheat and Golden Vanilla....amazing!!! The best Wheat I have ever had!




My hottie husband at the San Fran Fire Station...

Hello! I am guessing that all of you that heard about my wonderful Surprise Birthday Trip to San Francisco are checking for pictures, right? Well, I should have them up by tomorrow. I have class tonight, so my "spare time" has been spend reading World Literature. Fun stuff! Thanks for checking! See you soon!
