Pretend Engagement

Darwin and Arlena didn't have pictures done after their engagment (a little over a year ago), so the three of us did a little photo shoot yesterday. :) One of the pictures is shown below, and more will come later. The rest of the pictures will be on www.lifeseasonsphoto.com once it's up and running.

I'm currently looking through engagement photography sites online, and I find myself stumped. I'd love to be able to take pictures with the foreground blurred, and also some shots with the foreground in focus. Well- I'm not really sure how to monitor that on my digital. Anyone have any photography knowledge that they'd like to share? :)

End of the Day

It seems I've just been running all day. Tomorrow through next Wednesday will be supremely busy- photo shoots, two quarters of school intersecting, church events, etc. I came home today for about 30 minutes, and then headed back out again. Tomorrow from the morning until 3pm is "free" with the exception of some hardcore laundry and dishes...

By the Lord's grace, I didn't get in a car accident today. I was tempted to honk at the lady though. After all, she was in front of me and couldn't have stopped any quicker at the yellow light. I guess it taught me a little bit about assured clear distance. I'm quite thankful that the Lord gave men the know-how to create breaks. :)

Well- goodnight all. Here's an awesome section from Daily in the Word today...

"Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
and His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.
Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
Let them praise His name with dancing;
Let them sing praises to Him with timbrel and lyre.
For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation."
-Psalm 149: 1-4

Alright... I'm in the vacation mood. There's no way around it, and there's no calming down the urge to take a long walk on the sandy shores of the ocean. We haven't been on a true vacation since last summer... and that may not seem like a very long time to you, but to me... well... let's just say I'm getting antsy.

Chances are that we won't go to the ocean, but to a local lake instead. Let's do a visual comparison, shall we?

Here's Lake Cumberland...

Here's VA Beach...

Are you seeing my dilemma? I most certainly want to be thankful if our plans remain the same (lake vacation), but I sure wouldn't mind being one of those colorfully dressed individuals laying beneath an umbrella, and listening to the crashing of the waves.

Well... I'm off to refine my writing skills in English class...

Some architecture for ya...
