Have a very Merry Christmas

So I've decided to do something new at the beginning of every post. It's going to be labeled with:

Can you guess what my plan is? That's right, a new random question to start of every post.

Today's is very simple.

What do you want most, to find under your Christmas tree?
comment with your answer.



Ahhh, the Christmas season is in full bloom. School is out for two weeks and everyone is doing their last minute Christmas shopping. The streets are almost as crazy as it was on Black Friday, so everyone be careful and maybe next year you will learn not to wait until the last minute!


I've found it quite amazing how this Christmas it seems we have very icy weather before all the shopping is done instead of after the holiday is finally over.


As a last piece of advice, remember this Christmas that the best place to be is with your family, in a house with a nice warm fireplace! ;)

The one thing I fail at.

Nature Photography has never really been my strong suit. To be honest I really hate it but I have come to realize that when doing this project it really helps me to develop some skill in looking for detail with my subject matter.

This first one is an example of a bad photo because I missed
this shiny silver pole that makes the photo irritation to me


These others are okay, but I still feel I miss the essense of the photography.

Sexy People

A Teacher of mine showed me this really interesting page.
Sexy People
It's full of photographs that are very interesting to say the least
Before you look at any of the photo's think back to the hideous photo's of friends and family
Those are nothing in comparison to these.
We must give a hand to the photographers for giving us something to laugh about

Lets have a Sample:

Attempts One of Portrait Photography







A good friend of mine, Cayla Morello wanted to get some photograph's taken of herself. I saw this as my first attempt to actually attempt portrait photography. I know the photograph's aren't the best but I feel I did alright for a first attempt.
