In the Spring semester of my freshmen year of undergrad I was a photomajor in the JSchool. It was one semester of awesomeness. I was about to join some of my classmates and the photo professor on a trip to a conference, when I realized there was no way I could afford the major! The chemicals and supplies were not only expensive, they were not allowed to be stored in the dorms. Instead of talking to someone and seeking out help, I switched my emphasis to print. And I loved it. However, my heart was never fully in it, the way it was that one semester.
Fast forward several years and many disposable cameras later to the purchase of my first real digital slr...HEAVEN in the package of a pentax K20D. I named her Penny. Penny and I had many grand adventures. Even a brief professional stint to help pay the bills for about 2 years. During that time I learned I do not like taking pictures of people as a profession. They are unpredictable and there is great pressure to not have a flashdrive crash on you or accidentally write over files before transferring and saving them. I am one of those insane people who enjoys getting up at the break of dawn to capture whatever the first morning rays grace.
Penny died this past year...We had a good run of 10 years! And I picked up a used Canon. I haven't had the time to really delve into the instruction book and have it become a part of me the way I did with Penny. Heck, I have not even named this one yet!
But, it was pointed out to me that I have this secret website that I choose not to tell people about. I recently updated it last year actually, it looks a little cleaner. I purposefully do not share it because this is one small piece of me that is truly just for me. That being said, my dear hubby thinks that is ridiculous. So to appease him and to compromise, y'all can look at it here.
But do not expect anymore posts about it, so hope you save the website because I probably will not mention it ever again on this blog ;-)
Happy Wednesday!
