Look at me, I’m a grown up with a brand new car!


It’s one of those CR-V‘s (but 2007 kind). I know, I know, you’re shocked and a half that I didn’t get the green one. The thing is I love the color of the green element, but the green CR-V didn’t hold my heart as much, and I wasn’t really that thrilled with the beige interior. So since they had this on, I got it! Yeah! I’ve never had a new car before.


The inside is so nice.


I picked it up, and then picked up Emilie from school, as per usual. She loves it. Then I had to go get grandpa to take him to a doctor’s appointment. He thought it was very nice, so much easier to get in and out of than a normal car (which is what we were going for). I still miss my car, but I think this will help ease the pain (hehehe). Now I just have to wait for the crater lake license plates. Also there is a new Bones tonight, whoo hoo I love that show. It’s the simple things that really make me happy.

oh my yummy goodness. My dad hired me to take pictures for a condo project he is involved in. He wanted me to take shots at what is going to be the third, forth, and fifth floors from a lift so that people can get an idea of the view from their balconies. Um, okay! 1. I got to go up on lift 2. take pictures on the nicest fall day in history 3. I got to use this amazing 12-24mm lens. Oh heaven. Have you seen these things?


It’s a mess, try and ignore that, but it’s my whole studio; floor, ceiling, both walls, crazy. One more fun shot:


Those were right in front of the lens. Okay I need some one to take a picture of me taking a picture so you can get a good idea. The only bad thing is the lens is kinda a light hog (maximum opening is 4), and you can’t use an on camera flash because of the shadow, but I have the 600 speedlight, so it’s not a big problem for me. Now what I was "hired" for:


View to the north east.


View to the west.


View to the south east.
 

Mmmm. Oh and also my first time doing a portrait session (for the company website):


What do you think? No, please tell me. There was severe sunny overhead light so I opted to walk around a bit and took this in a shaded alley with my 50mm. I think it worked out well. Thoughts?

Now what to take pictures of before I have to give the wide angle lens back? Hmmm everything!
