One Year Old….

SO I’m sorry I have not posted in a while but I have been very busy at school. 1) I applied for a study abroad program, and got in! (Florence Italy in the Fall!!!!) 2) I hit the end of the semester where I wanted to spend time with my friends, say good bye, and study hard!

So here I am posting again. I will be home all summer so I plan on posting a lot.

This picture is from this past Monday when I spent the day in Boston with my friend to watch part of the marathon and then walk around the city a little bit. Its Trinity Cathedral reflected in the John Hancock building.

 

Cute Little Town…that’s Asleep by 9

I finally put the rest of my Florida pictures on my computer, making the final count to a little over 600. This time, instead of more pictures of the beach, I thought I would include some pictures of the town on the island.

A cute little gift shop.

The cute bakery in town. It turns in to a thai restraunt at night.

There are bikes EVERYWHERE!

CRASH!

When I go to the beach I find myself some what mesmerized by watching the waves crash into the shore line. I don’t know why, but I seem to end up just watching it forever. So I began to take a lot of pictures of the crashing waves. (Thanks to the automatic shutter setting too). Here are two of the pictures I took of the waves crashing.

 

Washed Up

So when I first began my blog I posted this picture that I had taken during my Nature Photography course. I thought this picture could relate to it. Although the wood overpowers the rope in the picture, I want the focus of the picture to be on the rope to emphasis what washes up from the ocean over time similar to how the boat in the other picture diminished over time into just a pile of wood that no longer is used.

Just Because the Sky and Water are Blue doesn’t Mean I’m Using Color

I know lengthy title. So I am in Florida (on my third full day) and I have only taken my camera out twice and taken over 250 pictures (don’t you love the option of just holding down the shutter button and it takes like pictures one right after each other). And the sky is blue and the water is more a turquoise color, but I have still taken a lot of pictures in black and white. One of the reasons was because I went to a beach yesterday and everything there looked much older than the stuff down by where I am staying so I thought the black and white aspect would give it a little aged feel to the pictures. So here are a few (and look for more this week and next).

The first two are of walk way bridges (one leading to the beach and one leading from the beach) while the last one is of something, but I don’t really know what they are.

 

 

Sorry I haven’t Posted

Sorry Everyone I haven’t posted, I haven’t exactly been inspired to post any photographs lately, because I haven’t really taken any new ones. But then went I went to post a new post yesterday, my Internet on my computer isn’t working, but hopefully when I am in Florida this upcoming week for my break, my Internet will be working, I will have new pictures of the sun, the sand, and trees that have leaves to post, and no school work to do first.

Be Back SOON!

Little Boy

When my grandparents died, we received this set of porcelain figures, mainly young boys and girls. There’s this one I really like, its of this boy holding a teddy bear. He just looks so innocent. My mom has placed him in front of this painting we have, which I thought the comparison of the colors and textures looked nice against each other. So here are the pictures I took:

 

Its Cold out… and it has snowed.

It is freezing right now in Maine. It has been getting down to the negative teens during the day the last few days. But there is still tons of snow on the ground which almost justifies it.

This set of snowy pictures are not from here in Maine but back home in Cleveland. The day I was originally suppose to have left home, a huge snow storm went through and about a foot fell. So I delayed a day, and used the opportunity to take some of my first outside snow pictures with my camera. I hope you enjoy them.

 

 

Beer Bottle Porject Part 3

So this is my third post for my Beer Bottle Project.

One of the things I like about the packaging of beer is that the label is not the only thing paid close attention to but, the tops are also paid close attention to. I like these two tops because they are both very unique colors, especially against the color of the bottles.

This picture is pretty obvious of what it is of, but in case you can’t tell, it’s a bottle of Guinness behind a glass. I don’t know why I like it, but I know that I like this picture.

So this is the first picture I have posted of actual beer (After seeing pictures on Mike’s blog of actual beer I decided to post one too). The beer being poured is the same Sierra Nevada as the above picture. I used this beer because it was expired so I knew no one was going to drink it, so then why keep. I really like in this picture how the beer seems almost invisible as it is on the way into the bottom of the glass from the bottle.

All Around Town

I have this really large purse that I love taking around with me because it fits my water bottle, a book, and anything else you could ever think of. It’s great to take to the movies because of its size. So the other day I went to lunch with my friend, and we got into her car and began driving back to her house. We were about to pass this local movie theater with an awning that is very old fashioned and BAM…I pulled out my camera out of my large purse. And I am not talking about my tiny point and shoot, but my new Digital SLR, and began shooting pictures of the area as we drove back to her house.

After seeing Tam’s post about street signs and taking pictures while driving, I decided to post these pictures.
