Posting is hard...

So... Sometimes I forget to get on here and post, even though I really should. Honestly if you're reading this scroll to the bottom of this post and like it so that I know if anyone is actually reading these. In other news, Easter is tomorrow and I haven't shot anything since the Blood Moon. I should really get out and shot something but I've just run out of ideas as to what I should do. My creativity is lacking because of the area I'm in. 

 

I haven't decided if I should post more personal things on here. I've always been kind of leery about posting any personal information on the internet. I am guilty of posting selfies and things of that sort but, I do not typically post actual personal items. It just seems weird to me. I would rather talk to a real person instead of talking to the majority of the internet who will agree with my opinion because that's what sheepeople do. Either that or they will have an utter disregard for my opinion and be extremely disrespectful. 

 

I think you should respect the people you comment on. Yes, they may be stupid and they may do stupid things, but you don't know what they're going through in their life. Words hurt, they are the most powerful thing we have as humans. That is why there are so many languages, people just want to be heard and they will do that whatever way possible.

 

Random rants aside... I hope that everyone, who celebrates, has a wonderful Easter tomorrow! 

Oh crap I missed a day....

Okay so maybe I missed a day... Well I don't care because I haven't been to sleep yet so this post still counts as the 11th... I've been updating my fun page more than I update my "Daily" blog. Oops! Anyway I'm going to the Lake County Fair tonight, the 12th, to shoot and have fun. So I will post, hopefully on the same day, another blog with some pictures from there. I don't think my blog is even being watched or followed by anyone... Oh well this is for me anyway no one else. I think when I set out to do this I was thinking I would describe my day and what I photographed that day. 

 

I started out my day by eating the entirety of the fridge, then I worked out, then I ate more food (which magically appeared in a pantry), and to finish it off I went to my siblings soccer game to photograph the team.

 

Wow! That took, maybe, 15 seconds to type and it really wasn't all that much. Hmm maybe I should try to elaborate more on the next blog...

New record

So I realized today that Lightroom lets me tether my D7000 to the comp while I'm shooting... I've used other software to do this but this is nice since that's what I use to do initial editing. I realize that most people probably already know this but it's newish to me... In other news I didn't shoot anything today. So I will post two tomorrow to make up for today.

Ok maybe I found one to post

2 days in a row... What!?1

I'm actually getting the hang of this whole having to blog every day thing... That being said I make no real promises as to doing this every day. In other words I have a really cool website for people to check out today it's www.panomonkey.com and it's a panoramic maker website. It's actually really cool! 

Leaving the Watermark for now.

So that's my house and on the website you can actually pan with your mobile device and it's like you're standing where I was standing. Anyway that's all I really have to write for today!

Does it count as yesterday if I haven't went to bed?

Ok well I forgot to write today because I was out shooting real estate photographs for my portfolio. While I have done plenty of real estate work I don't typically keep the photos on my hard drive after I give them to the client. So, today I had to go out and take a bunch of different living areas and remember just what people are typically looking for when they look for a place. I must say that even thought you're not dealing with any people, getting the "right" shot in real estate is harder than I remember. I have posted all but one to my portfolio in the Real Estate section because the one that I would love to post and the one that took the most time today will not load to this website for some reason. It's honestly kind of pissing me off right now. It won't even post to this blog I guess I'll just have to link it from somewhere else. Never mind, I am to lazy for that right now. Sometimes I wonder what this blog actually is... Then I remember the more I write to it the better my website will be (Or something). I do however need to post a picture for today's blog, since the true point of this blog is for you to see what I'm doing daily. Hmm, what picture should I post for today?

How about this somewhat blurry picture (Stupid fisheye) of my baby brother Sparky Marky? I'm pretty sure he is playing Pokemon Y trying to catch up to where I am in X. He is so serious when he plays too. He always tries to impress me or show off when he's playing because he wants to be either like me or better than me. 

Here we go again...

OK, so I'm taking head shots today. Which, is nothing new. I don't know maybe it just feels like I should be doing more to get more business? Anyway, I'm starting to look for a full frame camera and some lens upgrades. Holy Crap! This crap is expensive... Seriously why do people not know this? I'm looking at a D600 or D800 right now. (Go look up the prices, then come back). I'm also looking at the 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 300mm f/2.8. (Same thing go look and come back). People wonder why photographers charge so much for these super high quality pictures... Well it's expensive and if you're in a studio it's even more because of all the different lighting needed. Mind you I'm not complaining I love being able to take beautiful pictures for people. But don't expect something from nothing. Rant over on that...

 

It was my birthday yesterday! I had one of the best birthdays I've had in a very long time. It's not that it was anything special but it meant a lot to me because of the people in my life. I am very lucky to have the friends that I have in my life. I won't go into to much detail because that will probably bore you terribly but, it was awesome!

 

I should really try to update this every day but I haven't had a chance to get this website out there yet... Oh well... Here's a picture from yesterday at my kid brother and sisters soccer game... 

Mark kicking it in!

It's the only one she was in "Action"

Starting over

So I finally decided to start over a make a real website. I've always seen postings about Squarespace and how wonderful they are. So here I am, on this new website trying to figure life out. This blog will be available for you to view at anytime to see where I am and what I'm doing.

 

Like today I went out and shot some wildflowers near my dad's house. I shot these for a specific person but, I did post the one she didn't use on social media.
