Walking in (and out) the winter wonderland!

I suppose I could show you what i've been working on as of late...basically nothing. I was rather caught up in school, and thanksgiving, and Family. I know, I know, all my fans are booing and sueing me for no posting, not that there are many fans to sue me. aw well.

Anyways. It fiiiinnnaaaallllyyyy snowed here in Northern MI...and stuck. there is a difference. it snowed a month ago, didn't stick, didn't count. anyways. So i wake up one morning...look out my window and think "Oh what a beautiful day it is for a walk" so...Prepare myself for public, put on my coat. open the door. and withen a few minutes i find out that this white stuff on the ground is rather cold. (yes i know...it surprises me every year) So i walk back inside, warm my hands up, put on another coat. and head out. It took me a few minutes, again to realise one thing...


ITS SUPER COLD OUTSIDE

I forgot my camera...


So i walk back, grab the camera. and leave. this is for sure now. Im off. walking down the red brick road. See a totally picture-perfect tree, snap a picture, another picture...one moreeeee...okay...perfect. I then see lamp...of course! A lamp! I then pull up my camera...focus it, zoom, exposure. and *Click* and i get a reading on the screen saying "Battery Out"

...

*Sigh*

...

*bigger sigh*

...

*way bigger sigh*

...

*biggest sigh*
...


...Best day ever! I've braved the cold for 45 minutes, walked in and out of my house like a mad man. and got one good picture.  But thats how (real) photography works. you could take 300 pictures...and only have 10 turn out how you wanted them to. It probably sounds depressing right? Its not once you get used to it. But so is depression :P

So thats the one! Thanks for reading!

Give them a Smile!

To my old followers. this is a changed version of my recaint blog called "the time of a Teenager trying to start a band" (gasps for air) I found a new hobby, that i find to enjoy...lets just say allot better. I might as well just tell you what this new found hobby is...

...Photography...

...Who knew? (my dad...but thats not the point) I've  been loading my computer's hard drive with these photos for the past 2 years. I counted, and I have around 400 photos. Im stuck using a really cheap 4 year old Pentaz K200D (having the Pentax K200 without the D at the end isn't nearly as awesome by the way) Its a camera i adoped from my father...who adopted it from Amazon (they should pay me for advertizing) and Amazon adopted it from a feller who was selling it. and i don't know who this feller is. but i've got to say. If you happen to think you sold a Pentax K200D to a man 4 years ago over Amazon, and your reading this blog. i have one thing to say too you, and that is...



...your box packing skills stink!!!!
...I love you random fella!


And wheni say i have been into photography. i don't mean "i have an I-phone and i happen to have instagram" (more advertising...pay up instagram) there is no where that little twerpy application that you used to take a picture of your doughnut of can take you as far as photography goes! So please stop acting like spending $600+ on a camera is stupid when your iphone takes better pictures. the thing about these SLR's. is that you actually have to KNOW how to use it...yes...i know...its scary...Knowledge! you might have to take a class. and most librarys do offer those classes, sometimes for free. But the only reason you can't take a good picture with a big bulky SLR is because you don't know how to use it.

I'm not saying you know how to use your smartphone (im saving this for another Blog)

but for real. a vintage picture of your new favorite breakfast is not photography. You couldn't even call that Culinary art! plus. you'll have a new favorite breakast tomorrow. So pelase stop disrespecting the words "Photgraphy" and "Culinary Art" and say a polite "thank you" to the person in Taco Bell who made you're new favorite burrito for you.


Give the cooks the credit. if you worked 8 hour days behind a counter making food for people who complane about your terrible cooking. Now put yourself in that spot...and imagin someone who said


"Thanks for the Taco!"

...lets face it. you'd be in shock for a few minutes. then you'd realize you have a few more crabby custumers glaring daggers into your heart, wishing death upon you. So you keep cooking. you go home. and you sit there thinking about how nice that person is.

...Now put yourself back in the shoes of the person who said "thank you". You now have a complete stranger thinking about how awesome you are. boom.

Anyways. I'll have some photos ready for you guys soon! check back with me by saturday!
