Day 23 - 5/3/07

An Oldie but a Goodie: the Moon.

This is one of the first photos I took with my camera when it was brand new. I loved it then and I still love it now.

I think I got a little spoiled with it though, because somehow I managed to fiddle around with the manual settings and the zoom and got this shot really easily, but then when I tried to take other shots that would look half as good, they simply stunk. For the longest time I was so frustrated with the camera that I would only shoot in automatic mode. It's only been since starting on this and the ABC project that I have begun to delve back into my manual functions.

The other shots from that night:

Day 16 - 4/26/07

This is an older photo, but I think a funny one. I was trying on dresses for my BIL's upcoming wedding (I'm a bridesmaid) and my mother came along to take pictures because I asked her to (I also knew that she'd tell me if a dress looked bad on me - I wanted someone on my side). This is one of my favorites from that day, despite it's being out of focus. I'm the one in green, talking to someone off-camera. My mother is the one reflected in the mirror, holding my camera (and obviously, snapping a pic of me). We both got a huge laugh out of it when I was looking through the pictures and pointed out - "Mom, you took a self-portrait!"
