their fine day

Today was a friends wedding! It was fun to attend. I loved taking pictures of the kids. I'm so happy for these two! They are so good together!:) 

Grid

In my photography class we were given a map with an interesection circled. I was so excited about my intersection! It was so awesome. It had a stream with bridges and lots of interesting things. The weather that night was so perfect! I loved the lighting. Today I printed the photo above and below these words in black and white. The photo lab assistant liked them so I was excited.

These photo's have a more abstract feel than my other photo's. That could be because I don't normally go to a random neighborhood to take pictures. In my photography class we critique each others photo's up on the projector. There have been at least two photo's of a cat each week. I don't really mind them. Some people in the class hate cats so they really hate cat pictures. These people were kind of freaking out about how dumb it is to take a photo of a cat. My friend joked that she would submit a photo of a cat to see their reaction. Well my location for our grid assigment had a pet hotel! There were cat's all over the place. I'm submitting the photo below:) Can you find the cat? There's also a shadow of another cat in the picutre.

summer night

I love how beautiful it is everywhere! I probably have the word beautiful written in almost every post, but we truly do live in a beautiful world. Everyone says the best camera is the one with you. Tonight I went here and didn't bring my camera. I didn't wish that I had it too badly. Sometimes it's nice to not have with me because then I can jus take everything in with my own eyes. I was glad I had my phone though!

Riverside

During memorial day weekend I went camping with my family to Riverside Campground near Island Park. It was very beautiful! There were only a few ten minute breaks without rain. We saw some hail and snow too. It was still nice to relax. We stayed in our motorhome most of the time and played games, read, and talked. It was nice to get away for a few days with no phone, facebook, and blogs.



The Proposal

A few weekend ago my friend called me and asked me to take photo's of him purposing. Of course I said yes! That night I forgot my phone and then got lost. I was so worried I'd miss it. My friend and I finally found where we were supposed to meet and then my car got stuck in the sand. Luckily, the guys that came and helped get it out were the group of friends that was helping with the proposal. The lanterns didn't go up because of the wind. It was so fun to be involved. The lucky girl didn't even see me. Here are just a few photo's.

It was such a pretty night!

Spring Retreat!

Remember this post? Well this is what Victor Idaho looks like in the summer time! We had our retreat for Rec Sports this last weekend. It was so nice to get away and just relax and meet many of the other Rec Sports volunteers. Now I'm really looking forward to taking more outdoor picture's since I will know some of the people at the games. 

This semester my classes are super stressful. This weekend I got a better perspective. I absolutely love photography. My camera was in front of my face almost the entire time we were there.

 

I found a lady bug on a leaf! It looks like it has fangs.

I slept so bad there, but one of the times I woke up I looked out the window and saw this. I couldn't sleep anyway so I grabbed my camera and went upstair to the deck to get this photo.
