Photography-versery

Today it was brought to my attention by a special friend of mine that this day, June 25th, a year ago was my first photography shoot. Besides the fact that it was a momentous occasion because it sparked a friendship between the teenagers and their siblings I was taking pictures of and myself, it was the first photography shoot I  had ever done.

I have learned so much since that first shoot! The two pictures above were my favorite from that day. The pictures below are some from two of my latest  shoots.

Is it just me or is that a big difference? :-)
Over the months, with every shoot, I have focused on learning something.
1) Catching a natural sparkle in the the people’s eyes.

2) Catch the bright and natural colors.

3) Blur background  to create a unique photo that speaks.

5) Make a crystal-clear black and white.

I am always working on something, or multiple things, on every shoot I do. Maybe one day I will  be satisfied…but I doubt it. There’s always more to learn. :-)

So, I hereby  present my Top 1o favorite photos I’ve taken.

so…whats up?

So…I haven’t posted in a while, besides pictures or videos. Nothing exciting or pathetic. :-)
I don’t have anything interesting to write, so here are some ramblings. Look out for the random pictures.

1) We  move in 2 months or so. :-( It is so weird…I get really excited when looking for houses, and I already found the one that I really want: 5 bedrooms and I’d have my own bathroom(my life-long dream, strange I know). and we’d only be 7 miles from the book store and 0.8 from the commisary.  Everything, and I mean e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g, is with 20 miles. It’s totally awesome. By the way, did I mention that I hate moving? But I figured that if we have to move, then I might as well find joy in it, and my own bathroom is pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted. (joke) Maybe a bigger bedroom would be nice. The room I have now is crowded so Ican’t fit my nunchucks in there.
I’ve always wanted to live right next to a book store…I mean, I’m a book-a-holic after all. Spending three hours a week in a book store is like…I don’t know how to describe it…bliss. Or something.

The mission of finding joy in moving was a hard one. My life is here. But, my heart is where the home is, and after 15 years of miltary life  I learned that you gotta decide where your heart is and stick it there and thats where you are. That’s why the LORD  holds my heart. My friends are here. But, my family is where my sole love is, so I will survive. And even though  I hate it when people tell me “Oh, you’ll make new friends.”, it’s true. Though none of them could replace my dearest friends here. :-)
It’s already been decided that we’re moving. I can’t change that. The only thing I am in control in is my acceptance of it, my submitting to it, my being happy with it. A month ago it felt like my world was falling apart with the move coming up, but now I feel blessed to (1) be able to live here for the 2 years I did, and (2) being able to move only 5 hours away. So, yup I’m moving, and I’ll probably cry the day I say good bye, but I’ll see ya 3 months later when I come down for my orthodontist appointments. :-)

Well, thats about it. I love my family, I love my friends,  I love my God, I love my life.
