I Dropped My Camera...
So, I haven't watched any movies lately, but I want to post because I'm bored and don't feel like writing notes for Anatomy. But here's what else is going on.
This semester, I am taking a digital photography class. When I originally signed up, I thought it would be a good, Illinois-an, way to like learn how to frame shots and stuff, and I've always been interested in photography, so I thought this class would help me decide if I really wanted to invest in the hobby. I was expecting the class to be a lot different than it is. See in high school, I took a class that let me check out a camera and we had a new assignment like every week. This is not like that at all. First, we had to have our own cameras. Looking back on it, I should have known that, but I didn't. Luckily, I had this awful Kodak that I bought a while back. It was awful. I did the first two projects with it, and just wasn't really happy with the pictures. Finally, while shooting for a project, it kept turning off in between pictures, and when it didn't turn off, it took like a minute before I could shoot again. So I got fed up. I decided that it was time to invest. I took a couple of hours to really think about it; if I could really afford it or not, if I was really going to stick with it, etc. I came to the conclusion that it was definitely worth it. I know how to use the different settings now, and I have reasons to be shooting, and I really do want to stick with it because I think its really fun. I went out to Best Buy and got a Nikon D3100, an extra lens, a memory card, and a bag all for about 900 bucks. Done pretty good I think. So that's that. I love my new camera, and taking pictures. It is my goal to get a Flickr account going and to actually print my photos for myself and for my parents. My FAVORITE thing to take pictures of is Cooper and Carl. I have some pretty good ones so far, but I'm trying to expand my picture-taking. My friend from work also just got a new camera, and so I hope that we can go out shooting together.
