Oh hello beautiful.

So I mentioned yesterday that I’ve been ordering stuff for my project 365. Well today one of my most highly anticipated items arrived…. my new 50mm f/1.8 lens. *\o/* Hooray!
It’s also the very first lens (besides the kit lens that came with the D90) that I ordered so it was especially exciting. I had planned [...]
Stopping.. now. I think.

Sigh. Online shopping is just too easy. Really easy. And I keep falling into that easy trap and buying stuff I don’t need. I blame project 365.
Seriously though, I was doing really well spending-wise at the beginning of the year. I knew that if I did a good job of managing my money, by the [...]
On project 365, take 2. Maybe.

I’m jealous. I’ll admit it. I’m thoroughly jealous. A lot of my flickr friends are counting down to the end of their 365 projects and I’m watching it happen, thinking “why isn’t this me?” I should be one of them finishing up, I should be excited to nearly be done… instead I’m kicking myself for [...]
Oh Monday.

Sigh. Headache that will not go away. Makes me cranky.
Anyway, my picture for today (for my 24 Days of Christmas project) is a pic of me. Yes, I know I had decided a while back to not post pics of myself… and I’ll probably make the picture private soon. I’m not going to post it [...]
*believe*

Wow, I just realized that yesterday was my 200th post. Time flies. That and I may blog too often. Hmmm…
Oh, big news for my camera today… Lola got a new strap!
Isn’t it pretty? I got it from My Funky Camera, I was stalking the website for a week because I fell in love with [...]
Click click click… flash.

Owning a dslr is a whole new world for someone who’s been used to a point & shoot for the past 6 years. A brand new world. It’s so overwhelming to start learning about exposure, ISO, shutter speed… I mean, all I’ve worried about for the last few years was whether the picture was in [...]
Days like this…
Posted by: curiousillusion on: December 8, 2009
You ever have one of those days? Not necessarily a bad day, just a day when you feel cranky. Nothing makes you happy, everything makes you unhappy… it’s just not good. And you know it’s not good, but you can’t get out of it anyway? Yeah that was today.
I don’t know why either. Oh wait, [...]
Serendipity.

Serendipity. A fortunate accident. Also, the name of the movie I am currently watching (omg I love John Cusack). But I started watching the movie after I came up with the title.
One of the things that I struggle with is composition of my photographs. I get too into *what* I am taking a picture of, [...]
Playing… and learning.

Been playing with the new camera today, of course. Ever since 8am, actually… I think I couldn’t sleep for excitement, lol!
Watching the snow melt away.
Still on the ground… for now.
Look, I CAN shoot close up pictures! There was a trick to it that I had to figure out first.
A rose in the garden, not looking [...]
Happiness.

Let me start by saying that today was an amazing day. Truly awesome. And, luckily for the blog, I have pictures of most all of it. Aren’t cameras wonderful?
The big thing around town, of course, was that it was supposed to snow. They had been predicting this for the past week but I didn’t believe [...]
