G U B L E R S O U P: iceland →
Very interesting… lol
gublersoup:
I’ve recently become obsessed with iceland for a few reasons
1. it looks like this
2. their name
you’ve got to admire any country that while incredibly green and beautiful wisely mis-named themselves “iceland” in order to keep invaders and jerks far away.
the idea was that when tough…

Life... it consumes
So, I have not posted in awhile (obviously). Things have been pretty hectic for me. Things were going really great with my photography, then my camera broke (no, I did not break it. It broke, stopped working. I didn’t drop it or anything :p) in the middle of a wedding! Thank goodness there was another photographer… I still felt horrible! But, it all worked out… finally I got...

Oh, my achin' heart...
You know that expression “my heart aches for…” well, as of late my heart has been aching for two things in particular.
· Photography
· Travel
There is seriously a deep, expansive pulsing ache in the center of my chest. I want desperately to be a photographer. I want this more fiercely than I have ever wanted anything else before. I want to capture people, moments and...

That moment
I had that moment! Yes, *that* moment in life where you know you are doing what you meant to be doing and everything in life is coming together.
I am so incredibly happy right now! Most things in my life are pretty darn good. I have an amazing husband, a roof over my head, a full-time job (non-photography related), great family and friends! I mean, I’m not rolling in cash or anything, but...

Camera Bags
So, like most photographers I was stumped with what type of camera bag I should get!
There are so many choices! What type of bag for starters? Standard camera bag? Backpack? Big camera bag? Compact camera bag? Then, what brand?! So many choices, too many choices!
I guess, the first thing to do is ask yourself: what are my camera bag needs? Are you a professional photographer that carries...

Photography Clubs part 3
Photo club has introduced me to so many great photographers! I have met many local photographers and have learned so much from them.

Photography Clubs part 2
The first meeting I attended, a professional family photographer in the area spoke about her business but focused on studio photography. She spoke about posing, keeping children entertained, etc. It was so amazing to her someone speak about my passion. To sit in a room full of people who shared my passion! We have had a great many speakers, I have heard people speak about a myriad of things:...

Photography Clubs part 1
Now, I know that photography clubs are not for everyone… but for those of you willing to give photo club a try - I recommend it! I began attending my photo club about a year and a half ago (Maybe a little longer than that) and I have loved every minute of it. I have learned a great deal, had many great opportunities that I would not have normally be able to, have met so many interesting...

Project 365
If you haven’t heard of Project 365, it is definitely something to check out. It’s an amazing project where a person takes on a picture a day for one full year. There are several different types of project one can undertake. The original project was based on self-portraits, but there are others who just take a photo a day. The original 365er was Stephen Poff....

Is there a way to respond to your notes? I have tried everything I could think of… how are you supposed to respond to someone when they respond to your post?
So confused…
Thanks!
