Ashley

This past semester I took a basic photography class at the University I attend. The next assignment was lighting, and I was wracking my brain for what I should shoot. Finally, I decided I would do a portrait with the aid of a friend. Needless to say, this shoot was a little spontaneous. 

At lunch, I asked my friend Ashley if she would be willing to help me and she agreed. However, we previously made a deal that we would donate blood together (our school was hosting a blood drive that day). We agreed that we would take the pictures immediately following the drive. After classes, we met up and headed over to the blood drive. We walked in and signed up (in retrospect, we should have scheduled an appointment). We sat and waited….and waited…and waited!! Finally, getting a little impatient as the thought of all the homework that still had to be done crept into our minds, we abandoned the drive and headed to the park to get some pictures Before the sun set. 

The timing for the light was just perfect and I was able to complete my project before the sun drifted past the horizon. 

Without further ado, here is Ashley. 

And in case you were wondering, I passed the assignment and plan to donate blood next time. ;)

Keep Positive,

Boston

 We've journeyed down to Boston a few times this Christmas season. We picked up my brother and his wife from the airport then later in the week we went back down to Boston to visit my uncle, go to the top of the Prudential building, and see the Holiday Pops concert. I love this city and the magnificent way history is intertwined with the contemporary.

Here are a few pictures from our visits to the city. 

I love how the modern buildings seem to make hobbit homes out of the old ones!

The Pops were spectacular! (as always)  

Thanks for stopping by!

New Beginnings

Hello, and Happy Christmas!

 So, I've decided the new year is going to come early for me, at least, some of the "fresh starts" or "resolutions"will come early. Starting with this: my new blog. Welcome! My old blog lacked direction and consistency. This year I resolve to be more consistent… welp, here goes nothing! 

 (or in the words of a famous Doctor: Geronimo!!)

And to celebrate this fresh start, here is our annual family Christmas portrait.

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear from you, so please leave comments below. What are some of your resolutions or new beginnings for the new year? 

 Keep Positive ,
