rn how to do this. I love the pink hair, and I love our emo pop music cd cover, hahahaha!

It's that time of year again...

So the semester has started, and you know what that means! School assignments! There won't be as many this time because one of my classes is Photo techniques and equipment. Basically we'll be learning all of the studio equipment and most of our assignments will be in class and of random things that aren't very cool. But Photo 2 still allows me to use my creativity!!

I've been wanting to use my friend/old co-worker Sara in a photoshoot for a long time, and I finally did, and I LOVE the picture that I chose to hand in. It's amazing. Here it is in black and white for you to look at.

We had to choose two subjects for the assignment, and I had no clue what to shoot, so I hiked on down to Temple Square and shot the temple. The same assignment and the pictures don't even match, but whatever, they still look cool to me!

It's nice to get back in the swing of things!

Photography...

Took some family pictures, go check them out...Jennifer Palmer Photography

Free wifi at the Tute!

So I decided that I'm going to take an Institute class. There is one at 11:00 am in between my two classes. I figured that was a sign or something. But one plus, is they have free wifi. SLCC does too, but I think there is issues with my account and I didn't feel like figuring it out. Plus the Institute has chairs and tables and isn't too crowded.

Now I can post some pictures of things that I've been doing, and of Oliver. It's been awhile since I've posted Oliver pictures....

I was taking pictures of Oliver for a Christmas present, and while I was, this happened. It was funny. I was going to post this picture on my New Years Resolution post about falling down and getting back up, but I didn't have internet, alas. So here it is anyways.

This is the picture I gave my mom for Christmas. I realized that I had never really taken a "real" portrait of Oliver. Just candids, so I tried. It wasn't the most successful shoot ever. It was freezing, and Oliver doesn't like to stand still. But I'm still marginally happy with this photo. Even if it is typical and a tad cheesy.

Here is O outside at Thanksgiving. Snow was a new thing for him. I don't think he really likes it. One of his favorite words is cold.

Oliver also discovered Rock Band on Thanksgiving. He's obsessed, and that's just putting it mildly.

I took some family pictures after Christmas. I'm still working on them, but I'm pretty happy with them. They are a really cute family.

I'm also working on pictures for a new cupcake business. This is just a small sample, I have tons of editing to do, since I don't have a real studio.

And I just started a new semester at school, so I should have a lot of pictures to start posting. I also have some awesome ideas for conceptual photo's that I want to do this spring/summer. I'm excited. Photography is cool.

New Years Resolutions...

So my internet is stupid again...(meaning my free internet has disappeared)...hence the no posts. I am slowly getting out of this bummed out time in my life. Things haven't necessarily gotten better, I've just learned to deal with them better. I'm actually grateful that all of this has happened. I was getting too attached, I care too much. And before you say what?! Let me explain. My house is a mess, I have no clean laundry, I don't hang out with my friends anymore. I have a backlog of pictures to edit. It's insane how much my life has gone to shambles since this all has started. So my new years resolution is this. Have a life again. Learn to let go. Oh, and finally post about my Thailand trip. Hopefully I'll get those other pictures tomorrow!

ps...I'm going to buy a sleeve for my laptop so I can just take it to work and use the free internet there...I'm tired of not being able to post on my blog, and I'm too cheap to buy internet.
