Something about me...

So I forgot to post yesterday, so here is two.

1. After watching Signs when I was younger I became terrified of the color red. It symbolized something about to happen. Finally after years, its now one of my favorite colors.
2. Through middle school and high school, I took 5 years of theatre. I also took an acting class at Hale Centre Theatre. But the thing is, I never thought I was any good. I improved but it wasn't enough to be in any plays (except spring showcase) or any musicals (I don't sing).

Things about myself...

So I'm going to try to blog more. And I realized I'm wierd and unique so I should say random things about myself. Maybe 1 a day. I'll start with 5.

1. I HATE it when other people use my pillow. I can smell them and it drives me crazy. I dunno why, but I've always been like that.
2. I don't know how to swim. I had lesson when I was younger but my teacher threw me into the deep end and kinda forgot about me. And my cousin drowned, but luckily my aunt was able to bring her back to life by cpr. And yes, I've tried learning since.
3. I have 2 half sisters, 1 half brother, 2 step sisters, 1 dad, and 3 moms. I'm pretty lucky.
4. I don't have dreams. And if I do, they're nightmares. Reoccurring ones. They happen once or twice a year. And I hate them.
5. I've never broken a bone. I've had stitches twice, one for a surgery on my toe (tumor) and one for when my wisdom teeth were removed.

Okay, there you go! Enjoy.

B&W

Some of you probably are my friend on Facebook and see my little statuses. The other day I commented on how I wanted to take famous black and white photos. So from then on I've been messing with my own photos and changing them.

But I also have been doing my research on the internet. And these are some that have caught my eye.











































Well, that's all folks!

Big Step for Me

I'm finally doing it. I'm getting medication for my anxiety. And its stressing me out. Not a good mix. Oh well.

Camera

So I still need to name my camera. I haven't decided whether it's a boy or a girl. If you have any suggestions, contact me. It would be much appreciated. :)

Focus

Woah, just found this.

"Math in Photography!"

DAY ONE OF MY PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS!

I have never had a 3 hour class before. But I do now.
It is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.
I had to get up at 6:40 a.m. this morning to get ready and beat the normal school rush the first week of school; just to find out that there isn't such one in the summer. Oh well, I got some things done.

Well, my teacher is Ryan Cummings. He's kinda crazy, but in a good way. If you want to check out his website it is: ryancummings.com.

So today we read the syllabus... wooh, that's a ton of fun... NOT!
I hate reading those things, and so do all the teachers.
Next, we discussed what aperture, ISO, and shutter are.
And these three things include MATH.
Yes, I said it. Math in photography!
MATH

Oh well, it's not that bad.

The class was so long that our teacher gave us a 10 minute break part way through class.
Through email we were told to bring our cameras; I was so excited.

BECAUSE I BOUGHT A NEW CAMERA YESTERDAY!
DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflector)
Nikon D50
With 2 lenses
A Big Case
An additional battery
And extra manuals
All for $250!!!!

But during class, we never got to pull them out and flaunt them. I was kinda disappointed. Oh well, maybe on Thursday.
I have lots of homework already. I need to read chapters 1 and 3 and my owner's manual. Plus I have to work all day tomorrow...

This is gonna be fun.
