Kashmir*

Hey folks! Sorry it's been a few days since I've bloged, considering I left those semi-disturbing soaps up as my post for several days. But now I'm giving you much better pictures to look at. Tuesday was my last day of photography class. I'm a little sad it's over. I need to take community classes more often! It was a lot of fun, and I had a great teacher. Here's a picture I took of him when we were learning some tricks with motion shots. I felt a little like a paparazzo when I took this one.
We learned a few other tricks on the last day. This one was taken in a room with the lights off (but the door to the hallway was open) and no flash. Amazing, no?

And indulge me with a little detail shot of this necklace. I love it when you can see the twisted wire in the picture. The lights were on for this one, but again, no flash. Oh, and this necklace, including the pendant bead, are made of a stone called mookite. Say it with me, people, "Moooooo-kite".
And one of the other women in the class brought a vase of roses to take pictures of, and we found a dead fly in one of them. Random, but I thought this picture turned out pretty cool.


And on the recent projects front, I've been making some baby braceletts lately. They're fun, quick, and easy. Here's some I made for new baby Allie.


And a few more I made for Brian's cousin's baby, Jaylee. She's not a newborn, so these ones are a little bigger than the one's for Allie. I put in the shot with the quarter to show you how tiny they are. I also made some recently for forth-coming baby Maughn, but I had a brain lapse and failed to take any pictures before I sent them to mother-to-be.


*The song I was listening to when I wrote the post.

I'm anxious for you to teach me some of what you learned in your photography class. You do a great job.

Ange, maybe you could hold a class at Thanksgiving for the rest of us amateurs. I could really use some lessons!

This was a community class? Where was it? Who was hosting that?

Angela said...

It was a UVSC continuing education class.

Hmm...so your photog teacher looked hot...maybe I am wrong though. I should tell you I recently made friends with a girl named Erin Ewell...but apparently there is no relation. Small world!

I would love to take a photography class. I can't believe that one pic was taken in the semi-darkness. What kind of camera do you have?

Angela said...

Court- My camera is a Nikon CoolPix 4500, which my teacher considered to be "old". By industry standards, it really is, because it's just a little point and shoot with only 4 megapixels, that we got before we went to visit my parents in Spain, so I guess it's three years old.
