I went on a yard sale adventure with a friend recently and the owner of one of the last houses we stopped at was selling a bunch of mason jars. I was on mason jar look out for mom and when the lady told me she would sell me four jars for 25 cents each, I said "I'll take 'em all!" Back home, I left them outside and they filled with rain... and then I decided it might look very cool if I was able to capture what the water looked liked as I threw it out of the jar. This was my last toss and I was right, it does look cool. :-)
I went to the beach at Wildwood with some friends recently and we ended up feeding the seagulls for a few exciting minutes. Annie got one to eat out of her hand!
I've seriously neglected my blog for several months, but I want to get back to it! Since my phone has a camera on it, I've used my Nikon less and less; add to that my computer is old and I've been procrastinating on getting a new one; and Instagram makes it too easy to post pictures right after I take them on my phone. So all of those excuses have made it easy to add to my photo project. Shameful! I have a lot of photos on my phone that I can share and I hope to get my Instagram feed up as well. Here is a photo that I was inspired by Instagramer, purposeofenvy. I couldn't edit this on my phone the way I wanted to, so it never got posted.
I am interested in photography and have become more so ever since I got my beloved Kodak EasyShare C330 point-and-shoot digital camera in 2006. I'm no pro but I am trying to become a better photographer because it's so much fun to do!
The photos that make it to the blog are a tiny portion of the masses of pictures that I've taken and are either a) my favorites, b) inspired by some great image or c) a semi-interesting shot that I accidentally captured (ha!) And instead of printing out these pictures to put in some album no one (but my mom) would ever see, I post them here in my own digital scrapbook!
I don't have fancy equipment and I rarely use anything other than natural light. I don't alter my pictures in Photoshop and any edits I do make (usually cropping) I take note of.
Thank you for stopping by, comments are always welcome!

The Chestnut Challenge
In 2009, Joey Chestnut created a new world record at the hot dog eating contest on Coney Island. During summer 2011, my brother and I joined forces and attempted to tie or beat this record of 68 hot dogs. See What Really Happened.
