maybe if it were se7en?

too bad i'm not a big fan... pasadena's only a couple hours away!

i really need to start working on my senior ball dress. i'm still contemplating on whether or not i want to buy my dress or make it, but i have a feeling i'm going to be making it. i've already found tons of inspiration. alls i have to do now is decide on a design!

however, with my major cash crisis right now, i'm seriously considering (once again) selling all my old shtuff online. i haven't done it yet, and honestly, now i have even more clothes that i don't wear anymore! maybe it'll even help me relax! i need some "approxing" these days anyways...

i love this headband. it's a possible diy in the making :)

I started taking Photo 1. At first I was excited but the first time we had an assignment and we were walking around campus and taking pictures, it was much harder than I thought. I was bewildered. How do I just start taking pictures of anything and everything and make it into SOMETHING!? Our whole class was puzzled. It was uncomfortable and weird to just start snapping at inanimate objects, but we did and with practice we realized what we wanted. When I first started to look through my photos, I looked and looked until I find exactly what I wanted (we had to find line, shape, space, texture and value). Although there were a bunch of pictures of trees, branches, and leaves, I definitely started to see more than just a bunch of twigs and leaves. I saw lines, I saw shadows, I saw texture. A whole new world out my old world.

I really appreciate photos much better and even though my sister still doesnt get why I take such "boring" pictures, I still see value in them. I am still super amateur (only been four weeks in the class), I am getting better bit by bit.

I was proud of my focus for these pictures.
Focusing and having a picture be sharp can be the hardest part!

Words fail to express the passion within my heart for what I do. Allow me to show you. May you then discover why I see, therefore I am.

Another assignment we had in photo was to find an old picture of ourselves (under 3rd grade) and compare to a picture of us now. Well I had a picture when I was like four/five. It was my birthday. I have a cut on my lip because my brother hit me with a baseball bat that day ("accidentally"). Then I took a picture of myself in photo. Oh and this is a new bow I got at forever 21 on Saturday. It has a very obnoxious large bow. But very cute.

My newest picture for our balance assignment.
Out of 50 pictures, this was the best one.
It is VERY hard to photograph children.
Especially babies.





Wish I could have a sharper image.
But it is hard to find the right settings to take pictures inside at night.

Does anyone know the best settings inside with fluorescent light?
