So...

I've been busy, so I haven't been able to take any photos. Sorry =(

But, I wasn't going to let you all down and not post something today. Because when I follow a blog and they say they'll post, and they don't, I'm sad. So, I'm not going to be that blog. =)

So, I dance. And that's what I've been busy with the past two days. It's try outs to get into group 1, 2 or 3. 1 is best, 2 is ok... and 3 is all the younger kids.

I have no idea what.so.ever if I got into 1. I know I could be in 1, I know I'm good enough, I know I could to the choreography, but I don't know if I proved that yesterday. Let's just hope so ...

I do have to admit I'll be sad if I get 2. Probably more upset at myself more than anything. And if I get 1 I'll jump for joy guaranteed. It's just so unsure right now ... I don't know what to feel.

Because I don't want to get my hopes up in thinking I got 1, but I don't want to lose hope and just say I got 2. So, I'm HOPING for 1, but right now it's 50/50. So, those are my mixed feelings of the day.

And the worst part is I have to wait till 3:30 PM TODAY to find out! So of course I was thinking about it a lot last night (still couldn't come up with a 'what I think will happen' answer). Normally I can guess "Oh ya, I nailed that" or "No, I didn't do so hot there" but this... I just really don't know at all!! And I wish I did, it'd make things easier.

All I know is that I danced my heart out yesterday and tried my best. And that's really all I can do. Let's just hope for the best...

Wish Me Luck!!

Busy busy busy ...

So I must apologize for today. No photos =(

I wasn't home all day to take any, I was dancing. So I'll post one from my photo shoot with my little brother.

So all I did for this one is add words. I think he's cute =)

That's all. I promise more photos =)

oh, WELCOME new visitors! It's so wonderful to have you visit my blog! Please comment and tell me what you think =)

Bon Fire

Last night we had a bon fire, and I, of course, took photos. Here are just a few of the 124 I took ...

Here is the green flame. Not a good photo, but I've never seen a green flame (we were burning paper with ink on it)

Photographing fire is really hard because it never stays still, so you never know what it's going to look like in the end. I think fire looks extremely cool though, which is why I took somany photos of it ...

Anyway, tell me what you think!

I'm going to a dance workshop all day because I have auditions tomorrow to see what placing I get in for company (1, 2, or 3). 1 is the best, so of course I want that one. Let's hope I do well... Wish me luck!!

A Short Post

So I don't have a very long time to post (I have a limited amount of time on the computer) but I wanted to show you a quick snap shot from yesterday. This is taken with the Pentax. No edits or nothing. It's my favorite of the bunch (which I'll post later).

Oh, times up for me. Tell me what you think!

ps I changed the name of my blog. It's now 'Kreative Photography'. You like?

Happy 18th Anniversary Mom and Dad

Today is my Mom and Dad's 18th wedding anniversary, so a congrats goes out to them. Not to mention I think they are amazing, and really deserve to go out on a date tonight. Have fun =)

Report on the gerbil mishap: Beth is going to get two more baby gerbils to be Lewis' friends. She thinks sometime in September, around the 26th. She is still upset from yesterday, and Lewis seems a little sad. He doesn't know where is friend went, but he's otherwise doing perfectly fine and will soon have two new little brothers =) The breeder told us that the offspring of the mother of Lewis and Clark tend to be really good jumpers. So let's hope Lewis has some smarts...

Anyway, back to my photo posting. As you have noticed this blog will also have little tidbits of news and such, but I will still post one photo per day, so don't worry.

Here is my photo of the day. (taken today.)

And here is my edit of it.

I took this other photo, too. I didn't think there was anything worth sharing about it. But then I edited it...

and I really liked the way it turned out!

That's all for today! I'll be back tomorrow with more photos.

Bye!

Rest in peace Clark

Today turned out to be a sad day indeed. Clark died. My cat killed him.

Rest in peace Clark, we'll miss you. We love you.

For those who don't know Clark was one of Beth's gerbils.

My New First Post

So I realize that I haven't been posting much, and for this I am sorry. I'm a blogger, so I should blog, so that you readers can read.

But I have figured out a way to fix my problem and improve my photography skills. My plan is to post a picture ever day (or every other day if need be). I really enjoy photography, so what better way to improve then to take photo everyday and show them to the world?

Now I know there are probably other blogs like this, but I never said I was doing this to be different. I'm doing this for me. For fun.

I do like to edit my photos, so if I edit it I'll put before and after shots of it on here too.

So, for my first post I''ll post a picture I took last Sunday and edited yesterday... okay, make that two photos.

This was taken last Sunday when Lauren and I were bored. For those of you who don't know, Lauren is my best friend. I put the camera on self timer (for 10 seconds) and placed it on the top of her mom's car. We did this with a lot if photos, but this is by far my favorite of the bunch.

And this is the edited one. I did make one with words, but everyone seemed to liked this one better, so here it is. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Here's the second before photo. Not the best photo in the world, but once you edit it it turns out to be pretty cool.

Here's the after shot. I even made a "logo" for Lauren and I (note heart at bottom right). And if you didn't notice there are pick up trucks in the back ground of each photo ... hmm ... Anyway, those are my photos for today.

I use picnik.com to edit my photos and lets just say that I really, really, really, like it. You can go HERE to start editing your own photos.

Enjoy!!
