03-19-09 - Flags

Lots going through my mind regarding photography lately... I want to know everything about it NOW, and there just aren't enough hours in the day....  

While I still love it, I really struggle with posting a photo every day.  I want all of my photos to at least be interesting, and so many days, like today, they just aren't, and I'm embarrassed by it. My schedule is so full during the week that often times, I feel like I have to get through the photo-a-day part. 

My favorite thing to photograph is toddlers just being toddlers, and that subject won't work for a blog.  

I'm going away for the weekend.  I'll get some shots while I'm away.  Hopefully they'll be somewhat interesting!!!

03-17-09 - St. Patrick's Day Meal

My hubby made a great dinner for us on St. Patrick's Day - Corned beef and cabbage (and his famous grilled red potatoes).

Here's a candle photographed just after 'the blow-out'.  I'm highly technical, I know.

03-15-09 - My First Trip to the GETTY

My instructor for my photography class gave us an assignment to visit a museum.  Among the list of museums to visit was The Getty.  

No one in my group of 4 had yet been to The Getty.  I guess we'd have to be tourists to visit it, eh?  NOT!  I cannot believe that was our first trip.  What a treat!  I even ran into a classmate there.

It was so great, and I got so many photos, that I had a hard time deciding which one to post.  So, you get three photos today!

I love the flower close-up because of the angle, the color, and the depth of field.

I love the 2nd photo because of the angle and the slight smattering of people in it.

I love the 3rd photo because it didn't look like much until I used Photoshop. I was able to crop it into the shape of a cross and when I darkened it up a bit, it gave it so much depth.

What a great place to take photos.  We're going back in April!

03-14-09 - Christians Persecuted

Central Christian Church in Lancaster had a great Missions Conference this year.  They focused on how you can be persecuted in many countries for being a Christian.  In the foyer of the church, they had a jail cell that contained a stool, a bible, and handcuffs.
