Every time I have my camera in my hand I’m reminded to savor my life. For some women it’s watching movies, or shopping, or reading, or baking that brings them to their ‘happy place,’ but for me it’s picture-taking. Life is beautiful. Smiles are beautiful. Trees and nature are beautiful. And I’m so thankful for the life I am blessed with! During these economical hard times, I’ve been so fortunate to be able to continue being home with our son and dabble in photography part-time. I could not think of anything that would make me any happier. It’s true. Even though my secret stash of dark chocolate makes me happy, it doesn’t make me that happy 😉
I recently– ok, about a month ago. I’m so behind!– attended a workshop in Union, SC put on by Rachel of Savor Photography where we were better aquainted with our cameras ie. manual mode. Yes, I said it, manual mode. I must confess, while I know how to use my camera manually, I normally result to semi-manual because full manual just scares me to death; BUT I’ve forced myself on the last three sessions to use it! Go me. We also had the opportunity to practice on this beautiful little lady. Thanks to everyone who made this day possible– Rachel, HMK Photography who was our host, our model, and all my photoggie friends who joined in! Best of luck to you all.
