Lazy Sunday

Ryan has had the Flu since last night and so he's been out of commission all day. 

I'm scared to death that I'm going to get it too, which will be REALLY bad for school and work. I don't have sick days at work and for one person to miss a day is a BIG deal because there is no one to cover. I also have not thrown up for 7 years. I really can remember the last time that I did, which I'm probably totally jinxing myself now for mentioning it. But the last time was when I had my wisdom teeth out in 2001. The dentist (my brother-in-law) gave me some Percocet for the pain and my mom bought me chocolate pudding. It didn't take me long to figure out that the mixture of Percocet and chocolate was making me sick so I OBVIOUSLY stopped taking the drugs... (we're still talking about my wisdom teeth if you are confulsed).

Anyway, this semester of school is ending on Tuesday and I'll only have 2 semesters left before I actually have my dang degree... I should be writing my paper right now but I've had a really hard time motivating myself. So instead I've been taking some really great pictures around the house and of my dog.

Lazy Sunday

Photoge

For my latest photography class we learned about street photography and taking candid pictures of people without them knowing. I walked around Bountiful Main street all morning trying to get a good shot and this girl just jumped out out at me This girl just seems so out of place that I loved the picture. Her big white heels and the post office bin are out of control. 

And who sees pay phones anymore?? Fantastic...

This third picture is an old wall on Main street in 

Bountiful. The old brick building had been covered

 by stucko and was now peeling off. I think it used

 to be a welding shop but now it's just boarded up and not being used. 

This last picture I just really like because of how the flash came out and how you can barely see my outline in the mirror.

Because what else am I supposed to write about???

10 Years Ago: 

I was 15, socially awkward... and probably in the AV club.... Just kidding, that was YEARS before. I was in 10th grade, I had met Jon and we were 'semi' dating. We couldn't really be dating for 'reals' because I wasn't 16.

I'd like to pretend that I'm sort of photographer, and I'm trying to avoid doing any more of my homework, so here are some pictures that I've taken. Feel free to comment on how artistic I am... seriously...

This is one of the first I did for my class. I was playing with the depth of field on the camera and I've found that I like pictures better with a shallow depth of field. It makes the focal point really show well and just makes it all together more interesting.

Growing up my mom had a matchbook collection where every restaurant or hotel that she stayed she'd grab one of these to take home with her. She had a pretty good collection going and now it's mine. I don't think places give these away anymore, other wise I would continue on the tradition. This was the MACRO/close-up picture that I turned into class.

Karl Marx is a genius

I feel funny starting this... I just wanted to keep in touch with people and let them know what's going on in our lives. We don't have a kid or anything, but we do have a dog that I can post pictures of... right?

Here is Karl... this is him about 8 weeks. He's a dachshund (wiener dog) but has some rare coloring. I never thought I'd like a dog, but this thing is adorable

 this is what he looked like the day we brought him home. He was scared to death of the flash on my camera. He was only 6 weeks when we got him so he was really little and didn't look like a wiener at all...
