Nineteen Words

It seems like this summer has gone by in a blink. I know it’s because I’m working and I wouldn’t trade a second of that. I still love my job, even with all the paper cuts and deadlines and equipment that hates me. It’s been almost a year now.

Ali starts pre-k next week. A week earlier than the boys start school because I paid a little extra for her to go during the inservice days. She’s excited and I really think she’ll like it. It’s smaller than her old daycare and more structured, which is very important for my little schedule-oriented tyrant. I’m also signing her up for dance sometime this month. It’s going to be a busy fall.

The camera is a dream. I love it so much. I knew it would be better than my Nikon because of the larger sensor and the dslr aspect, but I didn’t expect it to be this much better! I’m blown away be the quality. I need to get off my ass and shoot some stuff for the show at the fair. So far, I’ve got three definite entries and one maybe. I’d like to have the limit (10), but I honestly don’t know if I’m going to make it. I need to frame what I have already and then come up with new ideas for the rest.

Blake’s girlfriend wants me to do her senior pictures. I’m so excited about that. I haven’t done much portrait work and I’ve been wanting to try it. The homecoming photos I did of them came out great and that was with the Nikon, so I’m dying to try out some stuff with the Canon. Projects are awesome.

I’ve been processing with the trial version of Lightroom the last couple of weeks and I love it. I’m thinking of buying it. I can get it for $99 since I work for a school district. I love bargains. Now, I just have to be patient until my next paycheck. I have too much back to school expense to buy it now. Supplies and clothes for four kids is expensive!

Time for work.
