This week is going to be HE double hockey sticks! That was super cheesy... I apologize. Anyways, why is this week going to be awful you wonder? Because I have a lot to do! First of all, I am in my school's play The Brother's Grimm Spectaculathon (If you go to my school you should definitely come to it, it's the last weekend in November and it's gonna be great!) and our after school rehearsals start this week and they are after school from three thirty to six thirty every day. I also have two projects I have to work on and I have to find a time to take pictures and I have work and I have my junior research paper... so I am stressed out x10000000000. I think I've passed the point of stress where I know I'm stressed, but I'm so stressed that I am calm... Does that make any sense? Probably not. Anyways, I am thinking that for my pictures this week that I am going to bring my camera to school and then that way I can take some during school and also during rehearsals for the play because I offered to do that. Why? I don't know. But anyways, that will cut some of the pictures I have to take down and I was also thinking I could go somewhere to take pictures on Saturday when I get off of work because whenever I try to take pictures on Sunday, I always have a ton of homework I have to do. But irrelevant, I want to try and take some more lifestyle pictures, hence why I am bringing my camera to school where a bunch of people are gonna try to put their greasy hands all over it. But I love them and you gotta do what you've gotta do.

Wow! Hi guys! It's been a hot minute. Actually it's only been a week... but that's irrelevant, it feels like it's been longer. So anyways I was going to try to go out this week and take some pictures, but unfortunately I cannot, and no I am not going to tell you the reason for it, but I do have a very legitimate reason as to why I cannot go out and take pictures. There's also the fact that the weather here has been disgusting the days that I am planning on going and taking pictures. Plus I'm at school most of the week, so the only days that I really can go out and take pictures are on weekends. And the weekends recently have not been the prettiest and perfect picture taking weather. Don't get me wrong! I love rain, but not when it's interfering with stuff that I need to work on. I could just do them inside, but I wanted to take some outdoor ones because then I can test out my new knowledge of my camera settings. But I am going to try and take pictures outside maybe sometime next week. I have to go to NC State to visit my sister next weekend, so hopefully I can work on it next week. So unfortunately seeing as I cannot take pictures this week, I am hoping that I can take a lot of pictures next week and I'm going to make that my top priority. I've discovered that whenever I take my camera places people always want to touch it and take pictures on it. And not that I mind, I am just cautious about who I want touching my camera. And I want them to ask me first too. I had once instance the other day where I brought it in and a person I know picked it up while I wasn't watching and just walked away with it and started to take pictures and I was like... "umm excuse me?" But anyways that doesn't matter. I can hopefully take some new pictures this week.
Guess what guys? It's almost Halloween! Spooky Scary Skeletons and shivers down your spine! If you don't know what that song is then you are an uncultured swine, not really, I love you guys. Anyways, so, I said that I would take pictures this weekend and upload them today. I have been working on French for most of the day today so I haven't had time to take any pictures, hopefully I can take some before it gets dark. But the best pictures get taken around the "golden hour" aka around the time the sun sets so hopefully I can get some pictures taken. So that means that I will probably not get the pictures up today... I KNOW I'M SORRY! I can't help it, I have to edit the photos and make them look good! I'm sorry that I want to impress you guys. Don't worry, I'll get them up as soon as I finish editing them. I hope that they look good... I think they will. I've gotten better at photographing people, before I could never get the lighting right or the angles right. But I've gotten better at taking them. I've also been looking on my camera and figuring it out and the best settings to put it on for certain times. Because all cameras are different and I want to figure out my camera for myself. I may look up some stuff for my camera, but I would like to determine what settings are best for myself. I was looking at it a few days ago and it seems complicated but hopefully I can figure it out in a short amount of time. I may have to swallow my pride and look up a few things for the camera. I am probably going to have to... Oh well! I'm going to try not to, but if it just so happens that I have to look something up then it's not the end of the world! Honestly we've supposedly had the world about to end at least thirty times so I'm not that worried. I don't know where this is going... I'm going to go try and take some pictures...
So! Guess who had to work all this weekend and didn't have time to take pictures? This Girl! Yeah so I'm pretty sure that I'll have time this weekend because I work in the morning on Saturday and then I don't work Sunday. But most of Sunday is going to be dedicated to finishing my online French because turns out, this class is not the only class that I have! But I seriously slack in French, I am supposed to be done with my work for this quarter already, but I am two weeks behind so that's not gonna happen. I do not work tonight so I am going to try and bust through a lot of it tonight so that way I can be done with it and I can focus on this class this weekend and studying for my APUSH test next week. WE LOVE JUNIOR YEAR! WOOOO! But hopefully I can get a lot done tonight, because I work tomorrow and Friday night so I won't have time to do it then. Wow, the one day that I don't have work this week I am doing a crap ton of homework. And my parents wonder why I sleep so much. Anyways I will definitely try to get those pictures taken this weekend so that way I can edit them and then upload the final product. I can update you on Sunday about how the photoshoot goes.
By the way, that title is just clickbait, I am not getting my life together. Fooled Ya! Okay so I may not have my life completely together, but I am on my way. I uploaded some pictures so that's a good start. Now all I have to do is work on taking some new pictures. I am going to try to work in different areas, so like nature, and then industrial, and then I'm am going to try with people. I am going to try to get my friend to be my "model" and I'm pretty sure that she'll say yes. I also want to try to do candid, which are basically like spontaneous pictures taken of people or things. I also want to try to photograph people I don't know. That sounds really creepy... But it's not. I wouldn't be like following them and stalking them, I'd be like photographing them as they walked by, or laughing on the phone, or just natural stuff like that. I wouldn't be creepy about it. But knowing me, I probably will be. I'll probably get the police called on me, but hey! At least I'm committed! I have a plan, but I just need the time. I am going to try and do some this weekend, but it is supposed to rain. But rain is always very aesthetically pleasing so maybe I'll be able to get some good pictures. I also need to make sure that I charge my camera, cause last time I went out and tried to take pictures, the camera died super fast because it was on low battery, so I have to make sure to do that. Hopefully the pictures that I take won't suck. Cause that would kind of blow this whole point of this project... Oh Well!
It is Wednesday my dudes! AHHHHHHHH! If you don't know where that's from, then we can't be friends. So I forgot that I was going to Young Life camp last weekend, which was awesome by the way. But anyways, I was gonna bring my camera, and then I forgot it.... So I plan on taking starter photos this weekend, because I have Sunday off of work so I can definitely do them without an excuse. I am thinking that I might use Canva as my photo editing software, either that or Adobe. I am going to try and determine that. My mom wants me to see another one that she already downloaded onto our computer so after I take a look at that then I'll decide. I've read a little more into my book and so far I'm learning about symmetry and exposure which is actually super interesting, I didn't know that there was actual rules to follow for symmetry, like if your picture isn't in the center, then it has to be in thirds. I am wondering whether there is a rule about blurry photos, but like the ones that are trendy at the moment, cause we love trendy. But really, I do like those photos and I never know how to take them or edit them so that they actually look decent, maybe that can be something that I can research this week as well. Anyways, I will try to have the pictures up and ready in time for my next blog post where hopefully I can update you on the success or failure of those pictures and let you know the process of them.
What's up guys? How's it going? I guess I probably shouldn't ask that since no one is actually going to answer me. Oh well. So this week has been super hectic. I've had to work all weekend so I wasn't able to take any starter pictures, so I plan on doing that next weekend. Since I haven't been able to take any pictures the only thing that I have done for this project is start reading my photography book I got. Yes I got a photography book, I know I'm a nerd. But that's not the only thing that I'll be learning off of, I'll also be researching the things I learn in the book to follow up on the topics. Hopefully I can start getting pictures up sometime this week. I've been getting super behind in French so that has been my main priority, but I am making this a big priority too, it's just hard when you have a lot of classes and work. I am finding it super hard to balance everything on the little time that I have after work. But it's fine, I've just got to plan everything I have to do out so that I know when I'm going to do everything.
I don't know what I want to take my starter pictures of, I don't know whether I want to take them of people, nature, or just things that I see. It better not be sunsets, I know better than that. Hi! Welcome to my blog. This is where I will be posting updates on my project and just catching up on things in general. I was struggling a lot when trying to set up this website, and it took me a while and I still don't think I have it figured out. Oh well, I'll figure it out sooner or later. Right now, we just started our project so I haven't had much time to work on my project, I hope to know more by Wednesday which is when we'll have time to work on our projects in class. I had to work until ten tonight so I'm am very tired after dealing with difficult customers for seven hours. Not that I'm complaining, even though I kind of am, I like my job. And honestly, despite how much I complain about it to my friends, there are more positive aspects to it than negative ones. Sorry! I'm getting off track, I tend to do that a lot. Anyways, I plan to figure out a lot of the questions that I've been asked about my project this week, including what camera I will be using for my project, and what editing software I'll be using, and so on. I'll do that whenever I have the chance, but honestly it'll probably be on Tuesday night... Oops! Whatever, as long as I get it done. Anyways, I will update you as I start to figure out my project more!
