First of Fall

I hate to see summer go, but I really like the idea of fall. Change is in the air and I am in love. Amber started school 2 weeks ago which means more for me to do around here. A day spent relaxing, absorbing the cool air and the sunshine, and some quality time hanging out at the laundromat.

When the laundry was done and the house was clean I took Luna for a long walk. We stopped in the park to run around with Luna's twin, Lola. Shes a rambunctious little brindle boxer too. I have yet to get a portrait of them together. They just won't stop running.

I am slowly gathering ideas for photo projects. I have a couple written down in my sketch book, I just have to make a post with all of them on as soon as there is a more substantial list. Feel free to leave a comment or brainstorm over an idea or concept, it doesn't specifically have to be an idea for a photo, it could be anything. I'll figure out the rest.

The whole point of this blog is to get me back into taking pictures. I graduated well over a year ago and I left behind a lot of things, but I'm not giving up photography. I have a voucher for 10 hours in a darkroom. That means there will be some awesome black and white pictures in my near future.

Leave a comment or favorite quote and maybe I'll match a picture up to it.

High Five.

The Last Day of Summer

Not realizing it at the time, yesterday was probably the last sunny day of Summer. The first day of Fall starts Monday, and the forecast predicts rain all weekend. It is sort of a sad realization for me right now. I spent the last couple days putting together all the elements for a blog that I would actually want to write in and post pictures. The turning over of a new leaf, as they say, and just in time for all those leaves to die and fall off the trees.

My first summer in Portland, OR. It has been one year exactly since I moved out to the left coast. One perfect Portland summer checked off the list. The clouds begin to roll in and everything slowly turns gray. Today is spent reflecting on the past and the few things that I've accomplished so far:

1. Improved my back yard.
2. Photographed my first wedding.
3. Started my first blog.

High Five.
