  • Beauty In The Most Simplest Of Things

    So
    I’ve finally managed to take a few photos mainly in the privacy of my
    own home and thought I would share them with you all.  Let me know
    what you think =)  I’ll be in Oahu until the 5th of July so I’ll see you all when I get back!  Leave me a nice message if you’d like!

  • Class of 2006
    Apologize for a long await xanga post.  I have been very busy
    helping organize my parents 25th Anniversary party coming up in about a
    month.  From invitations to catering, to logistics, making a slide
    show, photo album book, looking for jobs, birthday parties and getting
    ready for my trip to Oahu with my family!  Lots of action
    happening right now and it’s been fun and awesome!  I’ve been so
    busy I have not been able to take many pictures with the 350D much
    which saddens me since I needs lots of practice and experience! 
    Anyway’s, here are a few photos from my graduation with the 350D! Happy Birthday Eric!

  • Experimenting with Coke and Mentos
    Canon 350D  •  EF 18-55mm @ ISO 800

    I took this in manual exposure with a higher ISO.  It’s a little grainy but I tried.  Comments welcomed!  I’m such a noob! hahha =) 

    Graduation Pictures…so stay tuned!

  • Canon EOS 350D Rebel XT
    So I have decided to join the Canon family!  It has been a tough decision with extensive amounts of research and I have finally decided on the XT.  So far it’s an awesome camera but I have so much to learn.  Right now I know I’m not using the camera correctly nor am I able to optimize my settings.  It amazes me to see how awesome some peoples photography skills are.  It can be rather difficult and somewhat overwhelming at first if you are a first time DSLR user like myself.  At the same time it’s very exciting because this is my first DSLR ever and I hope to learn as much as I can!  Thank you all for aiding in my decision making!  Here is a sample photo I took, it’s not very good but just a quick attempt/test runs.  In my opinion I like the photo I took but it looks like a point and shoot camera could come out with the same pic =)  Anyway’s, I have a lot to learn!  Here is my poor attempt at the XT!

  • A Year to Reminisce
    I write you visions…
    That bring a smile to your face…
    These are the best days of our lives…
    So appreciate the good time…
    But don’t take the worst for granted…

  • So I’m in the last step of the decision process of buying my DSLR camera.  I am opting for the Canon Rebel XT or the Nikon D50.  Both are really solid cameras and my last step is to go to a local electronic store to actually get a feel for them myself.  I want to see how each camera feels in my hand and determine which settings I like more and what not.  Thank you all so much in aiding me in my decision.  I will let you all know what the final verdict is but with that said here is a last photo you will see from my Minolta G500 P & S camera.  Had a lot of memories but I’ve sold it to another user.  I did a little quick Photoshop on it =). Click on the photo for original image.
