Sickness Abounds...

Despite the fact everyone in the house seems to be suffering for some sort of illness, I've remained healthy somehow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will continue and all of us will be functioning at 100% soon.

My photography class yesterday went GREAT!!! I'm so excited and pumped. After I got home I started "practicing" on the girls what I learned. Poor kids, they will probably be sick of me. My mind is spinning with ideas of things I want to try out on them. I'm really happy with my camera and I feel like such an idiot because it is so much easier to use than my old 35mm film camera and the quality is amazing, of course. I will post some pictures that I took yesterday of the girls and a couple of product placement(?). You must remember that I come from a graphic design background and I worked in advertising for almost five years, it's in my blood.

A big thank you to the Vintage Flea for hosting the class. I love this store! It's probably one of my favorite places to find unusual and funky gifts. Not to mention they are having some kind of class that I want to take. If you ever get chance go check it out!!! I can always seem to find something there to spend money on. And also thank you to Sara for teaching the class. You are amazing photographer and teacher.

I Can't Wait Till Tomorrow

A few weeks ago I posted about how I bought a new camera and all my apprehension about it. Well, I don't know exactly how it happened but I'm taking a photography class tomorrow and I'm really pumped! I can't wait. I found out about it a couple of weeks ago reading a blog that I discovered online. Funny how things workout, uh? So, as soon as I read about the class I emailed the girl as quickly as I could to see if she had any room left. As luck would have it, she had one spot available that she said I could take if I wanted. Are you kidding? Of course! So, tomorrow while the girls are at school from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm I will be learning about lighting, photo composition, understanding your camera functions, etc. I'm so excited! It's been so long since I've had a photography class. I'm a little rusty to say the least. If I remember correctly it was the summer before the Olympics and my final project was all photographs of architectural details. I'm just glad I'm not getting a grade this time.

Oh yeah, for those of you who wanted to know what kind of camera I bought. It's a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D. I really like and I know when I finally start using it I will probably love it!
