Morgantown has awesome brick walls.

Last week my friend Sheri asked if I could help her with a pet project of hers and I was really excited to help out. After all... she did rescue me from WV and took me to Ohio for the first time a few months ago. At first when we started shooting I was having the hardest time because of her ridiculously pale skin. [If I didn't know any better I would swear she was related to the Cullens :) ] Eventually we found some shots that worked and I really hope the person they are intended for enjoys them as much as I do. If not then well... we'll just have to do this again!

It looks like this week is going to be crazy busy courtesy of Geology, Philosophy and Interest Groups and Democracy. *dies a little* But I can't wait for the weekend because it's going to be Scrabble-tastic. Not to mention that means we are only one weekend away from shooting at Cooper's Rock which is going to be awesome...hopefully :]

Okay, so enjoy a few shots I did with Sheri! Until I have something new to share...








So... I'm a loser.


Ok, so today I'm going to be a blogging gafoon and post again. The end.

I took a bunch of pictures today /yesterday and I have to say, Morgantown is a whole lot nicer when you can have fun doing something you like for free without having to pay a cover charge. ...Finally! (It's only taken me how many months to discover this?!) Now between the intense Speed Scrabble on our floor and this, I think I found a niche here in good ole' Mo-town.

Now, my goal while doing all this is to try something new every time I shoot people (oh what a pun). Rule of Thirds can't be my only thing I live by! This needs to be an adventure. The End, no questions asked. I mean...on Friday I totally let some creepy man take a group picture for us. That was definitely something new. ...Maybe not normal, but...nonetheless, new.

Ok, below I posted some pictures of Brittany and Jacqueline. ...And of course the now famous shot taken up at Stalkner. And I would like to say I actually don't have double chinnage going on in real life... it's just a bad angle. lol.

Jan...February.


Life seems to just be swirling by in the past month.  Ever since I've come back to Morgantown there has been an unhealthy amount of snow, lots of coffee (courtesy of The Bistro) and the ever dreaded piling up of books.  For some reason, since I've come back life has been so much more interesting.  

It might have a lot to do with me being able to finally take my camera out of its bag and blow the dust off the lenses (Just kidding, I would never let dust collect on my camera!)  The first shoot went great.  Two girls from my hall, Judie and Christine were the perfect people to start shooting with.  They were willing to do almost anything in the snow.  I don't think I've had so much fun in a while.  (Next week we are going to do some "Spring" shots.)

Now, I'm re establishing my Photoshop skills from my dreaded Yearbook days.  But this will be a fun learning experience... I hope. :]

Well, I should probably cut this short and finish reading my Political Science reading... Until next time, enjoy some of the pictures of the Judie and Christine!







Happy February!
