New Camera & PhotoBlog

I have gotten and am using.... getting use to.... my AWESOME new camera... I had a lot of guilt about getting it, but Dennis kept telling me that I deserved it, the way I take pictures, and what I want to do ... he said it would be used everyday and to him that it is worth it, and he says, the fact is, I have not gotten anything for me in a long time.

Still going through this guilt... or buyers remorse I suppose... a friend of mine said.. "how many times have you given up something you wanted or needed to get something for someone else?" I said "all the time" .. she said "then accept the fact that Dennis is right, you deserve this."

I am no longer using my Kodak EasyShare... and am now using my Canon PhowerShot S3 IS

Yes, I see his nails need to be clipped! LOL.... But isn't that awesome detail?? And I was about 3 inches from his hand when I took that picture

Baby Bubbles.....
So I have been working on my photoblog today. (Link in the left menu) ... so far I got some of my photography from trips put up late last month, and the last couple days I've been working on getting some of my favorite pictures up of the boys... and then I'm going to work on getting some photography sessions up that I did with my Kodak... soon I'll start doing some for friends, to get some practice... for a small fee.

I'm going to start a buisness for the "lower income" type family who doesn't have $100+ to plop down for only a few actual pictures. I am going to give them a CD of picture, do touch up and cropping if needed... and a copy right release so that they can print off any pictures that they want and as many as they want. For what I charge, it'll include the my time & use of my camera and photography skills... and along with all of that blah blah stuff... the CD. I was thinking $25 for a 1/2 hour session... $50 for an hour... etc. These are just thoughts so far anyway...

The name of my "company" ...

A couple of my friends are doing this, and although I have wanted to do this for a long time, I never had a good enough camera and they really gave me the umph to stand up and say this is what I want to do with my life... ya know? SO I really have to thank both Di & Mandy :) They are both awesome photographers themselves!! Acutally, most my friends are... Mel & Kelly and a lot of other people too :)
