Okay! I'm going to try this!

I have been following the blogs of a couple girls over the past few months and I thought all this writing sounded like fun. I have never kept a journal for more than a week, but maybe a couple readers will give me a bit of accountability...

I love all things vintage. I go to antique fairs, shops, and thrift stores and stuff my closet with all the things I love, but rarely things that I need! I figured I would catalog all these finds for those of you who are into that stuff as much as I am.

I'm also an amateur photographer... emphasis on AMATEUR!! I barely even know what aperture means.  But most of the pictures you see on my blog are my own. I thought this would be a good way to keep track of those too.

Well.... here we go.

Today I went to work (dental office) and worked and got off work. Then I went to the bank.... *snore* Bored yet?? Haha then I got home to find that my new camera had come in the mail!! AHHH I won't bore you with the details, but its a really great camera for taking decent pictures. I got a couple really nice lenses as well. I instantly jumped in the car and drove down to the beach to try it out. I've never had a nice camera like this before. I got a couple good shots and found that I loved them so much I didn't have the heart to edit them! I drove up to my favorite "secret" spot in PV and got some neat shots of the sunset. Enjoy!!

And would you believe its totally unedited?? I love this camera!!! My friend Nick is a professional photographer and told me that so many professionals cheat with photoshop. Excuse my hipster backlash but where the heck is the legitimacy of being a "professional photographer" if you have to completely edit and recreate your pictures on the computer?? Don't get me wrong; I love photoshop. But don't make someone pay $2000 to photograph a wedding just so you can take some moderately good shots and vamp them up on the computer! The bride's aunt can do it for free!! This rant ends here.

Sunsets are my favorite thing in the whole world...........

along with 50 other things.... :)
