Artisan Works
About three weeks ago I went on a photography tour/trip to Artisan Works (http://www.artisanworks.net/) with my dad and some other people from a town photography club I am in. It is basically a giant museum of art that sells some of its work, pretty pricey but definitely worth it depending on what you get. They have everything ranging from life size zoo animals to Elvis Presley dolls. I thought it was really interesting but going once is not enough to see everything. Look at the website and see if you would be interesting in going ever and here is a sneak peek inside!

The art inside is pretty amazing! More pictures are on my Flickr and you can also look on the website to learn more.

Thanks and have fun exploring! 

TOMS

I ordered some photography equipment last week and it arrived in the mail today so I though I  would try it out on my Toms! I got three backdrops ( black, green, and white), lights, and soft light covers. I opened it when I got home and set it up right away. I used the black backdrop and soft light to the right of the Toms so only one side had the main light source on it. With all the other lights off I think the pictures turned out pretty good.

The rest of the pictures are on my Flickr account (the link is on the right side of the page), they are all pretty similar but different ares are in focus and different parts of the shoes are the main subject. If you are interested then go take a look at the rest of them.

Thanks!

Inspiration

I was on Pinterest.com two days ago and I found a picture when I searched for creative photography and underneath it was a paragraph about a 16 year old photographer, Ann He. I liked the picture and paragraph so much that I googled her and found her website.She has a website, blog, Facebook fan page and other websites you can get the links for on her website.
http://www.annhe.com/
I have looked through all her pictures and they are amazing.She is the same age as me and has been published in multiple magazines and in contests.She is a fashion photographer and truly inspiring because I can relate to age and position.I emailed her hoping to hear a little about her and her career. I am not going to say on here what I hear back if I do hear back but I am glad I get the chance to talk to her.
I think if you are interested in fashion photography or photography in general that you should go take a look at her website.

7:45 in the AM

I woke up yesterday morning at 7:30 to amazing amounts of fog outside my window. I had been planning to wake up early that morning to go to a park up the street from me but I went to bed around 4:30 that morning because I couldn't sleep so I decided that I would go the next morning. I set my alarm for 10 and finally fell asleep. I'm guessing my internal alarm clock had a different plan for me because just three hours later I was out the door on my way to the park.

During the day there are usually what looks like hundreds of geese out on the ponds, there is no fog but it is still gorgeous to watch them all float out there. It is like the scene in The Notebook when Noah and Allie are out in the boat ( my favorite movie by the way). I wanted to see what it would look like early in the morning but when I got there none of the geese were out! Well maybe twenty which isn't a lot compared to how many there are. I could hear them but I couldn't see them. There is an island out in the middle of one of the ponds where all the geese are in the morning making all their geese noises. They swim over one by one by one by one and it is very irritating because I want to get pictures of all of them.

I got some good picture that I like a lot but I am only going to put up a few, the rest are on my Flickr.

Juno!

Hi Everyone!
Its been awhile so I am going to do a lot of blogs in the next couple of days so I can update you on everything that has been happening. BUT! Right now while I have some time I am going to show you my new puppy Juno :)
We went and got her on Saturday from Ohio. Her transition to living here is all done and she now thins she is the queen of the house. Haha :)

So here she is!

She is so tine and gorgeous but she bites! Ouch!

Her and Jasper get a long good. Sometimes there is some tension but we are all settling pretty well with her being her :)  

I actually have to go take her outside now but I will have many more blogs up soon!

Bye.

I'm sorry this one is side ways but this is Jasper
