The Best Friday In A Long Time

A peaceful morning hike with the dogs, an afternoon helicopter ride and an evening at Oktoberfest. 

More pictures and details to be posted later! 

So Maybe I Lied...

 

I think I might one of these cameras now instead. Look at these features:

• Exposure control
• Flash adjusts to your lighting
• Big, clear viewfinder
• Easy-grip body
• Attachable close-up lens

There's even more info when you click the link above. 

Yep. I think I'm sold!

Things I'm Considering Recently

 
1. A Vintage Film Camera - (It kinda feels weird to type that. Does it feel weird to you to read that?) I've been on a kick to get a film camera for a while now. I've been inspired by a few photographers that have done amazing things with old school Polaroid cameras such as the SX-70 or a vintage Argus.

2. New Products for my Shop - like bookmarks or calendars specifically. The problem is that I would probably have to order a lot up front (esp. the bookmarks) and I don't know if it'll be worth it in the end. I just feel the need to expand what I offer I guess.

3. A New Film Camera - this is either going to be the Fuji Instax Mini 25 or the Polaroid 300 Instant (pictured above). Supposedly the Polaroids are at Target. That may be a deciding factor right there. We shall see.

4. Lenses for my Cellphone Camera - yes, you read correctly. I cannot say anymore to do it justice. You'll just have to go read about it here.

5. A Scrapbooking Class - this one in particular. Because I have lost my scrapbooking mojo for sometime now and I need to get it back ASAP so my art room can stop looking like a hot mess and more like an organized mess. :)   (And also so I can finally complete some things!)

It's a full plate (and a lot of money too) so some things will wait obviously, but ideally I would like to do all of these things in the next month. I'll keep you updated and let you know how it goes!

From The Backyard

My pictures from the past week.

Funny, huh? ;)

Just chillin'.

Enjoying free music at Live At The Levee in Newport on Thursdays.

(And I think we've found a new favorite bar, too.)

How is your summer going?
