AT-AT!!I found this AT-AT in a box in my parent's attic. It was part of a Christmas ornament. There were two other Star Wars ships but I couldn't find them in the box. So the AT-AT came home with me!

Alphabet Soup
There is a photo blog that I like going to called photojojo.com. They have great tips and a small store and a nice forum. I checked out there forum recently and came upon this amazing post. I haven't been shooting as much as I had been for the Project 365. In fact, it's not often that I shoot. I decided I wanted to do a smaller project than the 365. So the project I have decided on is one photo a day going through the alphabet.
So with that, HERE WE GO!! :) :)

Ennis House
The Ennis House is amazing piece of architecture, even though it's Frank Lloyd Wright. ( The high school I attended was Taliesin designed and FLW was Godlike.) This house was used in the movie BladeRunner. It was damaged in the Northridge Earthquake. And while repairs were done, and it was open for tours for some time, it is now closed to the public. I hope that some day I will be able to shoot inside this amazing home!
Update
So I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a new Canon Rebel T3i. I purchased through B&H Photo and have been very happy. I haven't been shooting much. My life is a cycle of change. After the loss of my mother late last year, I've been emotionally all over the map. I have made some really good friends as of recent. Check out Thelxl.com We are nerdy/geeky girls making new friends.
I have also started a tumblr. I am not sure what I am going to use it for. At first, I thought maybe more photography stuff. But we'll see.
I am hopeful that I will be shooting more. I have been thinking about doing another Project 365. That might help get me out of the rut I am in. But for today, I am chugging along.

Notes for Today and Plans for the Future!
So I totally enjoyed my Project 365 and as seen in my previous post, I took a Food/Product photography class. Since my class ended, I haven't been shooting much. With the stress of my mother's passing and my health, I just haven't been in the mood to shoot.
I went back home to clean out the darkroom. My mom was also a photographer and when we moved into the house I lived in for most of my life, my mom wanted a darkroom in the laundry room. So my dad put in cabinets and my mom got her darkroom. That was the darkroom that I did most of my black and white photography. We had both a color and black and white enlarger but we never did get around to using the color one. So when I went home, I was tasked with cleaning out the darkroom. All the chemicals and tools and enlargers. I had contacted a lady at MIAD and she will be getting all of the equipment. I found a TON of negatives/slides and a several cameras. One of them is a Kodak Brownie which had film in it. So I took it to Samy's Camera and had it developed. I am excited to see what is on it. I believe the camera was a yard sale find. So I have no idea what will be on it! I will be picking up the film this week.
Since there were a lot negatives and slides, I purchased a negative/slide scanner from B&H Photo. I received it today and have to clean off my desk to set it up. I will be posting some of the scanned photos on this blog.
The next step in my photography. Well I have decided to buy a new camera body. My mom and I had talked about getting me some new equipment before she passed away. And since my Rebel is their 1st offering in the DSLR category and was purchased off eBay, I think it's time for an upgrade. So I am looking at getting the Rebel T3i. I really wanted to get the 7D as people are using that to shoot webisodes and I have been asked on more than one occasion if I had that model. But I can't hold the damned thing. It's too large for my extremely small hands. I decided that I want to take more classes. And I want to do some alternative portrait photography and pin up photography.
So I am hopeful that I will be posting again. I think once I get back into the groove of shooting, it will help my moods and get me motivated again. Motivation has been seriously lacking in my life as of recent. That's all for now! :)

Food And Product Photography
So I decided to take a food and product photography class. I enjoyed quite a bit. It made me get out of my comfort zone. I do want to shoot more food shots, that's for sure. I think I am going to be taking more photography classes.
