Enjoy Your Life
The story of how I got to this waterfall is a long one. So here it goes. I grew up in a small town outside of Rochester, New York. Like any young person in their teens, I hated my small town and dreamt of escaping to a land far far away. California has always been my favorite state, and I dreamt of running away one day. On a cold December day, I was in the parking lot of my part time job making subs, filled with thoughts of my toxic boyfriend of the time, and how I just wasn’t satisfied with my life. I wasn’t happy and I wanted more. In that very moment, I decided it was time for a change. I set a date 6 months out and started telling everyone I was moving to California. People that I didn’t even know. Suddenly there was purpose, I was excited again.

What is Shutter Speed, and? How to Use it?
What is Shutter Speed? Shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time.

Printing your photos will make you a better photographer
Hello everybody! Welcome back, sorry for my little hiatus once again. This week I'd like to have a chat with everyone about why I'm a strong believer in printing our photos. I've been pretty consistently printing my own photos since I started on this path, however I didn't really understand the importance of it and how it was actually helping. Let's jump into it.

Blue sky and blue waters
To start the story off, we are in Vegas baby! My first time every flying in an airplane. The flight there wasn’t that bad. I was with my family, my mom, dad and brother. My mom gets motion sickness easily so we thought she was going to get sick or something. She never did thankfully. We get to our hotel, which I picked out, it was okay. The only cool thing was how deep the tubs were. Everyday we had something planned but the weather was just throwing us off. You’d think it would be hot there in the middle of summer. But I guess not. We all packed for heat when all it was was rain and cold. I was starting to think this vacation wasn’t going to be the best. We had a full week of things to do. On one rainy day we went to a bunch of hotels and looked around for fun. One of them had a mall inside that had oxygen tubes to breathe in. I’ve seen people do them online and they say they can smell fruit so I talked my mom into doing it. The internet was wrong. They just shove the tubes up your nose and you just breathe. No good smells which was a bummer. They ended up giving everyone a back massage too which was weird. Ended up sitting there for thirty minutes. The next day my mom and I end up being sick. I was starting to think the vacation just couldn’t get any better. But lucky for us one day was a shiny and hot day. The perfect day for water! We had booked a canoe trip before we had arrived and when it was time we made our way to the meeting spot. We were all so excited. We all squeezed into a tiny van with a bunch of strangers and drove to the site. We arrived and I gotta say it was just a beautiful site to look at. I’ve never seen such blue waters before. We get our life jackets and get in our canoes with our partners and go on our way. I’m with my dad and my mom is with my brother. We are supposed to be going to a pretty cave the website had told us. We paddle and paddle what feels like hours and the leader finally tells us to stop and that we’re here. It was literally just a little indent in the rock wall. Wasn’t what we expected which sucked. We get all of our pictures taken and then go on our way back. The bad part was that we had to go upstream. I know for sure I don’t have the muscle for that so my dad did most of the work. We all stopped at a beach and ate some snacks and my mom has taken a picture of me looking at the water. I had switched partners with my mom and we are on our way again. It feels like forever until we finally arrive to the shore. My arms are killing me. Jeez! We get out and all start talking. I see some ducks and start taking pictures of them. Then it is time to go. For me that was the best day. It was one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen and I think people should go visit it! That pretty much just made at least my vacation so much better. I hope people go on family vacations more often. You never know what could happen. Make memories! Because I know will never forget my time at the blue water.

Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras, What Makes Them Special
Some estimates for total digital camera sales during 2005 exceeded 80 million units. The growth is expected to be about 8 to 10% for 2006. There is one segment of the market, however, that is growing significantly faster. This segment is the digital single lens reflex, or dSLR for short, market. While estimates vary considerably, most agree that the segment will grow much faster than any other.

The World Is Your Backdrop
Photographers often thrive for that "perfect shot" when anticipating the next click. They take one look at the scenery and the aura surrounding it and map out the science via the lens of the camera. This, combined with an intense amount of patience and skill, can often lead to some stunning portraiture. But, I'd be lying if I told you I've spent hours debating every single snap in my portfolio. In fact, I've probably quickfire-clicked at least half of them without really thinking about the chemistry between subject and scenario. And, you know, those were actually some of my best images captured in my photography career. Those blind-fire, careless and shotgun round snaps were actually some of the crowning achievements over a lifetime of complex theory. The best part is – I never even realised it, either.

Modern Animal Rescue Photography
For centuries, we've domesticated animals to be compatible and convenient parts of our lives. Our love for their company and devotion has made them members of our families...some may even say our kids! Unfortunately, companion animals specifically have been bred for centuries, to the point where there's now an overpopulation issue and many face euthanasia, to no fault of their own. Open admission animal shelters around the country take in an abundance of animals every year as strays or from community members who are no longer able or willing to care for the animals. To say the least, there's no shortage of fluffy lives who need our help.

How Photography Will Help You to Improve Yourself
Photographs are known as the reflection of one's inner self. A photographer is an artist who, with the help of the camera, can read the eyes and face expressions of a person and can capture the same emotions with the camera. This is an era of selfies and hashtags. Every individual who has a smartphone is eligible to click photographs. But do you know that photography can help you to improve your life?

Intimate Couple Shoots
In all of my portrait photo shoots, I love it when the subjects are candid and behave as naturally as possible. Many clients are happy to work this way and generally it is easier when shooting couples. They are used to interacting together, and the photographer can become an external body photographing that interaction. Limited direction is usually necessary.
