I took this on July 24th a the Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Parade. The original picture was neat in color, but I love the sepia.

My new blog

I decided to start a photography blog and leave the other for our family stuff. I have always loved to take pictures of everything. I recently got a digital SLR camera, the Canon Digital Rebel xTi and I absolutely love it. I love that it responds when I want it to, I love that I can shoot up to three frames per second. Believe me, with three boys, I definitely need that feature! I love the detail that I can get, that I can zoom in so close to things. I love my camera and am so excited to learn everything about photography.
I know that my knowledge is very limited and that I have much to learn. I really am just starting, but feel like I have finally figured out what I want to do, other than be a wife and mom, what I want to learn about. If you know me very well, you know what I think about going to school when you don't know what you want to study.
For now I know that I can't actually go to school because Carlos is in school and we have a young family. But there is a lot of information online as well as community classes and lots of practice.
I love close-ups, candid shots, old buildings, flowers, people, different angles and sunsets.
I know that I have a lot of cousins who are or have studied photography and take beautiful pictures, please don't be too critical of my work if you actually read this blog. Okay, you can be critical if you want, but don't tell me about it in the comments! Just kidding. I guess that is part of learning, as much as I hate criticism of any kind (even the constructive stuff).
After rambling on, what I guess I want to say is that I feel this is a way for me to express in some small way the things I see and even how I feel about them.
