Salty

Gosh my blog has been so me, me, me, and all my thoughts lately. Here is something a little lighter. On Sunday we went out to the salt flats to take some pictures for Vanessa and David's engagement. They decided that the free price was worth the lack of professionalism, and photography knowledge. I hope they end up with one they like.

These are a few that won't be making their announcements, and since Vanessa already posted them I'm not stealing their thunder.

Did You Hear?

A ring, a date, and a joint blog...I'd say it's official.

I'm pretty thrilled.

So towards the beginning of my week with no internet I did a little photography workshop with Kate, given by Leah Wright, a local photographer who has taken some pictures for Kate before. It was fun. I learned a few things...and it forced me to take a closer look at my camera. And I realized that I really want a 50 mm lens. And I realized that Avery is perfectly happy and fine while left in her father's care for large chunks of time and that I should do it more often. I would probably never leave my house if it weren't for Kate.

Also I learned that when hoping to take good pictures, it helps to have beautiful subjects:

Vanessa and David happened to be over the day after the workshop so I forced them to pose a bit. By the way, do you have any tips for getting both eyes in focus at low apertures?
