A break...

I'm tired of this week. I'm tired of drama and hate. And I think it really sucks that I have to deal with it on something as stupid and superficial as Facebook. I'm over it. So I took the Facebook app off of my phone, made it so I won't receive notices in my email. I'm on a break. I'm too invested in something that is as ridiculous as Facebook. Yes, people have the right to believe what they want and free speech. But I also shouldn't have to worry about reading something hurtful to me every time I get on the stupid website. Whatever! I'm probably being too sensitive, and it will probably seem to some people as really emo, but I didn't really know what else to do. I could de-friend, and I really didn't want to do that because they are my friends. I could block their posts, but I didn't want to do that, either! They are my friends, and I'm interested in their lives! So I'm taking a break until this all dies down and life can get back to normal. And if it doesn't? Well, then I might have to make a more permanent decision.

Until then, email me...jenjojen@yahoo.com...oh, and my teacher thought my forest picture was cheesy...I feel a little defeated...This week has kind of sucked....

New things...

So I bought a tripod...I'm pretty excited.

It was an early birthday present for me...from me. Well, I haven't really had time to practice with it and I really have no idea how to shoot at night, hence the tripod. So I took a few minutes to play with it tonight. Still hate that my camera sucks with a high ISO (film speed, the higher the number the more light it takes in. ex; 200 = sunny, 1600 = night.) Anyways, the nicer the camera the less grainy a high ISO picture looks. Mine isn't the nicest, so my pictures look super grainy. Oh well, one day I will hold a Nikon D300 in my hands, one day. I won't even think about the full-frame sensor D700. There in lies depression.

I also bought my tripod because I keep toying with the idea of doing a 365 Project. Which basically is to take a self portrait every day for a year. I don't know if I am brave enough to do it. That's a lot of exposure for someone who would rather be behind the lens. But we'll see. Here are a few of the pics I took tonight. I'm not too impressed with myself, but I thought I would share anyways.

Look Ma! No blur!!

Here I am playing with the timer on my camera...

ps. I'm this close to finishing a photography blog. I also ordered business cards...It's about time I get serious with this thing...
