Though it has inspired me to continue with this blog
even though no one will read it
but I'm cool like that:)
So here are some pictures with my new camera:)

The Magic

Photography is really subjective. Someone can love one picture and hate another, where someone elses opinions may be completely opposite. But a picture may be appealing to one person and not to another for a number of reasons. Something that I think makes a picture great is capturing something important to the photographer. Those pictures that just make you smile when you look at them. The ones that bring back a flood of memories. The picture may be blurry and out of focus...it may be a snapshot of friends...or a shot that took a while to capture and set up. Sometimes those blurry pictures are more magical then the ones that took ages to get just right. Those pictures caught on the spur of the moment. These are generally the pictures that hold memories. They can be cheesy and completely set up. They may be just another picture to someone. However, if they mean something to the photographer, then that is a truely great picture. I love those pictures I find where they just make me smile. These photographs are usually ones of my friends and I. I can usually look at goofy faces smiling back and remember a story relating to the image. I think photography is more than capturing a perfect picture, it's about capturing a memory. I know that is completely cliched. But I want to share with you some of my favourite shots and the memories they have for me. Now I warn you, they are not amazing, or even ones that others may enjoy. However, I enjoy them and they make me laugh, which I think is important.
This picture reminds me of the trip we took to Montreal for French.


This picture was obviously not taken by me...but it is my favourite semi picture.


This was also not taken by me...but it reminds me of all those times we spent in Katelyn's pool every summer.


This picture represents the intense lake adventure we go on to take pictures.


So Kalynn and I went camping at Sandbanks...we saw this path like thing from our campsite...so we adventured on it with our bikes. Guess what? It wasn't a path...so we struggled through and we came to this clearing. A circle of field completely surrounding by trees. It was hilarious this adventure. This photograph is taken in the random field we found.

So this was a really long post. Now I'm off to bed because it's 12:04 and I have an anthro exam in the morning. Farewell!

Memory

Guess what I have been studying?

Anthropology.
My last topic... memory.
So I'm going to go with that.
I have been to many awesome places in the last few years.
I have had many experience I never want to forgot.
I went to France with my aunt and cousin.
I went to the East Coast with my family.
New York City...where I have wanted to go since I was like 6.
My most recent, and probably most memorably trip, was my trip to Disney last summer.
My dance studio was accepted to preform in the Magic Kingdom.
With that opportunity we also got to take a workshop at Epcot.
Even though the heat was almost unbearable...then we added stage lights to that...it was one of those crazy moments where you're just like WOW.
Peggy's Cove is like home to 60 people...but the view is amazing.

This is a mall in Paris...I thought it was absolutely beautiful.
Cool fact: There is a skating rink on tower.
I love New York
I love how magical all of Disney is.
This was before the park even opened, we got in early for the workshops...we were actually the first ones in the park. Not very often can you take the picture with no one in it. The firework show is just spectacular there.

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

I just had to steal that from kalynn.
So I just had to walk down and get my little sister from school.
All I have to say is that there is a lot of snow.
It just won't stop.
However, I plan to stay nice and warm inside my house tonight.
I have hours and hours of studying ahead of me tonight.
So because of that I will make this quick.
Here are some pictures I like.

On my travels

So I just got home from dance.
The weather is rather bad so it was a long drive.
However, the snow was very pretty.
It reminded me of all the picture taking adventures I have been on.
Usually it is just too the lake.
I have 2 sets of photographs that I have taken at the lake...
one is from the summer
and the others are from the winter.
So guess what the topic of this post is?
You guessed it.
The lake.

H'okay.

Break time.
Well I have only been studying for an hour.
But I am between my Chemistry reviews.
So let's make this quick.
So tonight I watched a movie with my little sister.
I have also realized lately that she isn't as little as she used to be.
I remember the day she was born.
She's 9 now...but due to her cuteness I have taken many pictures of her over the years.
I have to catch her when she isn't looking at the camera to get a serious picture though because she loves to ham it up.look how little she is!
she didn't enjoy the boat ride very muchThis picture is for my own amusement...it makes me laugh every time I look at it.I love my sister:)
