To Narnia.

Note to self: When playing around your camera, always set the ISO back to 100 or else you'll accidentally leave it at 1600 and forget to check it.

Oops. I know better.

Nonetheless, I love this shot.

The word Narnia itself is magical, and I think the way the light hits the book and dances on the wall, just enhances that 'magical' feeling.

In other news: A photo I did earlier this semester for Digital Image Processing II - Color made it in as the cover shot for our cards representing the Student Exhibition, starting tomorrow. Happy!

Today was a feel good kind of day.

Date Night.

Steps to having a great date night.

Step One: Go to Chipotle. Order a giant burrito with all the fixings. Take slightly out of focus pictures of said giant burrito. Proceed to get most of the giant burrito fixings in your hair, spilled in your lap or on the floor. Wait... That's just me.

But really, I dare you to try and eat one without making a slight fool out of yourself.

Still just me? Okay fine.

Step Two: Smash a rock. More specifically, a geode! I surprised Coleton with a "Smash-It-Yourself" one today, because rocks are just really cool. I have an extensive rock collection from many, many years ago. But that's another story. 

Looks like an ordinary rock, right? Guess again.

 Smash the rock in a sock.

CRYSTALS

And there you have it. Date Night.

Told ya, rocks are cool. ; )

Kitty Lovin'.

Anyone that knows me well, is aware of the fact that I am an animal lover. Dogs, cats, koalas (someday I'll hold one if it's the last thing I do!), whatever it is. If it has fur and isn't human I probably like it.

Well, for the past nine months I've been volunteering weekly with a no-kill animal adoption program, Vicky's Pet Connection. I love their cause, they are all amazing people and love what they do. Part of VPC is a little place called the Critter Cottage. That's where I come in. I'm there loving on the cat's and selling pet supplies. Cutest little place ever, believe me.

I'll tell you what, frisky kitties in low lighting are not easy to photograph.

 Yes. Knox, the cat below, does in fact have a "lion shave". His hair was so matted at the shelter VPC picked him up from, that he required a shaving. Poor guy. He's sweet as can be.

See? They're cute. And are in need of their "Forever Home". Feel guilty yet?

 Good. ; )

site:LAB

A few hours of this freezing rain filled day, were spent shooting at site:LAB. A very cool building with three floors of unlimited photo possibilities. Thanks to all the rain that has saturated all three of those floors, I had alot of fun playing with the reflections, as well as the gorgeous natural light.

Everytime the images are enlarged, they lose alot of color and information. So until I can figure out why, small images will have to do for now.

Tuesday Afternoon.

Frederick Meijer Gardens.

It's like West Michigan's little piece of the Amazon. That is, if the Amazon had butterfly feeders and school children...everywhere. But, it is perfect for meeting up with a good friend and getting your exotic plant and butterfly fix.

This moth's wing span was larger than my whole hand, amazing!

Delicious oversized cupcakes!

Meet my friend Gabby, we've known each other since the 6th grade!
