Quite the quote by Henri Cartier-Bresson, hmm?
Well, 9,804 to go.
I received the most amazing gift for Christmas – a Canon Rebel T3 and a lens that’s way too cool for me. I’m going to take non-iPhone pictures, guys!
I’ve spent the past week reading as much as I can and watching eight gazillion YouTube tutorials. Aperture! Shutter speed! Camera shake! ISO! So much to learn.
I need a pet pronto so that the gift-giver doesn’t get sick of being my unwilling (and often unsuspecting) subject.
On my last official day off of work for the holidays, I clomped around in the snow outside for a while and managed to snag some halfway decent shots. Get ready for lots more!

What a spectacular gift!! Now, as soon as you learn everything can I get you to teach me?!?
Haha, I think we should learn together, otherwise I’ll be teaching you when I’m approximately 100! I just want to learn how to focus the darn thing consistently 🙂
YES! I’m so excited for you! I would love a fancy person camera!!!!
Thanks! I’m excited tooooo… just need to learn how to use it and all 🙂
The clarity is amazing! Good job!
Thank you! The camera gets allllllll the credit for that 🙂
Congrats! My first fancy camera was my favorite gift ever and it has literally changed my life. And happy new year friend!
Thank you! Happy new year to you too 🙂 So… was that a hint about your Secret Project? I checked yesterday and nada!
If the photos that have populated your blog in the past are your worst, I’m very eager to see what happens now!
These 5 out of 198 were decent 🙂 Thanks!
My husband just gave me a Rebel, and I am thrilled. Since you are in Chicago I thought I would pass along the info on a free class at Next Door Chicago. It is Let’s Get Digital: Photography Workshop and it is on the 26th. https://www.nextdoorchi.com/web/guest/nd-classes
Next Door also has monthly classes on food blogging that may be of interest.
You just made my day! Thank you so much for sharing that. I had no idea that place did classes – I pass it all the time! I already signed up for the digital photography class – are you going?
Yes! I am going too. It sounds like a good class. I enjoy their food blogging classes too, they are good for getting tips and networking. It will be fun to meet you in person, I love your blog!
Awesome! Can’t wait — the food blogging class is full but I literally just put a weekly reminder to check the Next Door calendar for new openings 🙂 Look forward to seeing you then!
