This blog is on hold for now.  Blogger won't let me upload any more photos, and I think I might get my own URL and stuffs.  So, nothing new for a while.  Check out my Facebook and Flickr, I'll be updating those.

In Photo Club we started a Item Collaboration and the first item was a blanket.  So here's my picture.  Hugin, the program I use to create expansions (because I don't have  fancy-schmancy Photoshop CS5) was disobeying and there are a few little mistakes, but they don't stand out too much.  I love the light so much in this picture.

Rainbow Trimmings

Dad called earlier and told me to go outside and look up.  I was a bit confused at the request, but I did so, and found a little rainbow, straight up in the sky.  Naturally, I ran back inside to grab my camera, and struggled to get the rainbow captured as well as I could.  I never knew it would be so difficult to get the colors of a rainbow to stand out from the blue of the sky!  But I succeeded, and here's the result. Isn't it beautiful?  Sunlight refracting through ice crystals is such a perfect phenomenon.

Turlock

 On Saturday we drove down to Turlock for a old car show/swap meet that my dad's coworker told him about.  There ended up not being anything we wanted for my truck, but it was lots of fun to just walk around and see all the parts, pieces and random junk people were selling.

 I'm addicted to taking pictures out of the windows on long car rides. 

 Old soda bottles are a favorite of mine.  There's just something so perfect about them, so reminiscent, that I love with all of my heart.

The end is near!

 The end of my Project 365 is getting nearer and nearer!  Here are some recent favorites.

This last one I took right before sunrise on the field at school.  It was so cold I didn't wait for the sun to come up. I ended up only taking about twenty pictures before leaving.  No more unprepared sunrise shoots until the weather gets warmer (or I get smarter and bring warm clothes).

Aislinn

 I took my friend Aislinn's senior portraits a week ago.  We're planning to take some more soon in fancier clothes in Old Sac - so excited (and nervous) to try shooting in public!  The light was stunning,  we planned the shoot so we would get the lovely late afternoon light like the pictures when Laurie and I went shooting here.  It was cold, but she was a trooper.
Aislinn is such a beautiful person, inside and out. She can tell when there's something wrong. It's like her sixth sense. And she hasn't had the easiest time, but she is so strong. She keeps trying. She keeps going.

This isn't all of the pictures I edited, but I didn't want to overload you with pictures here.  The rest can be found on my Facebook Page, once I get it up and running.
