14 - I'm all about natural light

this is 1 of 2 sconces I have in my room and lovve. 1st because, i'm totally a scent person and love candles and lotion. 2nd cause, as the title says, im all about the natural lighting.

One of the only things i remember from 10th grade in highschool is from my photography teacher who taught us how to recognize and appreciate natural lighting -especially during sunrise and sunset. and she didn't mean take pics of the sky at sunset, that's too easy (whoops, think ive done that in multiple posts) but what she meant it pay attention to how the light hits objects and makes them glow. so to this day i totally see that. and a lot of times ill say it out loud "hey look that the light on the trees thats so pretty." and most of the time i get quizzical looks or the "your weird" or "what??" reply.....except amanda, she's totally comming around and starting to appreciate it too :)

anyhow flames are another awesome natural lighting source and i totally heart this decor in my room.

So I was in Waldorf this weekend because my cousin is gonna be a great dad soon. So the babyshower for little bean (they dont wanna know the sex) was Sunday. It's always awesome to hang out with my growing family. Here's pics the newest members...the first pic is of Bryce and the 2nd is of Zoey - our little Buddah covered with hair :) I keep calling them my cousins but really they're my cousins kids. Whats the technical name for that?

I went home too good old chuck county this weekend. This pic was taken on 301 on the way to LaPlata...while its not that interesting of a shot it def has meaning to me. I remember when waldorf used to have fields like this and a bunch woods and a lot of land. now its built up, overcrowded, and im pretty sure its on the path to ghettoness. It was great when I was growing up so i know im lucky...but at the same time its kinda sad to go back now and imagine what its gonna become.

Day 10

so i went to the Brad Paisley concert and it was amazing because 1. He has a variety of fast and slow songs that are great. 2. He knows how to preform live. 3. we got free upgrades from lawn seats to the pavilion. 4. he's cute and energetic so he's def fun to watch :) He's so entertaining in concert and sounds great - if you like any of his songs I'd def recommend checking out his concert.

the pic above is of him preforming celebrity. He did a mock version of guitar hero - it looked exactly like he was playing the game. I thought it was pretty smart and cool that he did that to connect with his younger fan base. At one point it showed video of a guy singing a long to the song in a tent like he was playing rock band - before the show someone approached us and asked if we wanted to play that so im not sure if it was real footage of a fan playing before hand or not....if it was, then thats def way smart.

whoops

so i suck and didnt even last 2 weeks. but ill post what i have and get back on track :)

Day 9

soo this is my office building and i heart it. you don't really get it in all it's greatness here but the clouds reflecting in the window caught my eye when i was walking in today so here ya are. the inside is super cool too.

Day 8 - Missed It

today i saw my first chipmunk ever! it's funny, they're pretty much "mice with cuter outfits" but they're still cute. I missed the shot though, im having a hard time with the depth of field on the point and shoot-i should probably check out the manual
