My favorite shot from the innertube float...


We only packed one floating cooler, so we loaded it with various drinks instead of bringing food.

And we forgot a way to tell the time, so only put sunscreen on twice in the 4-5 hours.


The worst part? We all know better than that, lol.

Thoughts...

I was going through Mandy's project, and came up with a few thoughts...


I have always had a mental "list" of pictures I know I want to take. Most of these are reserved for when I get a more advanced SLR camera in a few years. The thought never occurred to me that I should write these down until I was commenting on one of Mandy's photos...


I'm thinking that I will write up a list of my "photo goals," similar to people's lists of "100 Things I Want to do Before I Die." Maybe "100 Pictures I WILL Take Before I Die?" We'll see. :)

Any other Project365-ers want to join in for a group week theme? An easy one that Mandy's blog made me think of was a week of hearts, smileys, or peace signs, but if anyone has any ideas feel free to comment!


I'm friends with all four of you on Facebook, so we can discuss a possible group theme either on here or on there.

When I was at the local library for school, I took a look in their photography section. There were more books that I wanted than I felt I could read, so I grabbed two. They both have a lot of good little tips from experienced photographers. In case anyone is interested:


This is a great overview, with little tips on a little bit of everything. A little irrelevant for me, since it goes over a lot of travel and people photos, but still very good:


Rick Sammon's Field Guide to Digital Photography
(Quick Lessons on Making Great Pictures)
Amazon Link



This is a detailed book on a specific topic. It goes over each section, and post-picture editing as well as essentials for a home studio. I particularly love this because he has a love for macro :D


Light and Exposure for Digital Photographers
Harold Davis
Amazon Link (Some tips are on this page. Take a look!)

I actually didn't take a picture today. We started my 21st birthday party around 3pm and I didn't take my camera along for the fun :)


This is a picture of my boyfriend and I from that night, taken by Jaimee.
