#3! Typical mirror shot. I was awiting my darling boyfriend to get ready so we could meet up with another couple at a local park to take our dogs out. I was around 5C out. It was so warm, so sunny, so nice. I hope winter has ran it’s course early this year because I could get used to this weather. :)

But if there’s no such thing as perfect —why practice? Because it’s fun. 

I’ve been trying to take photos every day. Of nothing in particular. Mostly my dog. Because he doesn’t care. Or maybe he does? And he’s just so darn handsome. I just really want to get into the habit of practicing. Taking photos of something for nobody but myself, so that I can edit them the way I like. Or experiment with them. Sometimes they turn out horrible, and others… they end up being emailed to family and friends. :)

I was shooting at F/1.8 and meant to get the focus on his eyes but he must have moved and I got it on his nose instead. Taken by the large window in the living room and had my flash on to get a catch light in his eyes.  :)

Self portrait #2! With the help of my friend Devon from the previous post. It was FREEZING out. :) 

My friend Devon came up from the Valley today and we hung out in the studio then headed outside to a near by path. :) Here’s some shots from the day.
