My Photography...

Hello!

I have a lot of passions and hobbies, and one of those hobbies is Photography. The weird thing is I never considered it a hobby. When I look back now it makes sense that it has always been an interest of mine. In middle school my best friend Natasha and I would walk to Safeway and purchase inexpensive disposable cameras and take "artistic photos" and have them developed then came the age of Myspace and Facebook and I was now beginning high school.

For a gift I received a Nikon Digital Point and Shoot Camera. Through the years I went through many digital cameras (mainly for my talent of dropping them) but what was interesting was through those years. I had developed a reputation as being kind of like the class "papparazzi" I mean, people would laugh/complain "oh no KT is taking a pic of us" but the next day I would get messages asking when the photos were going to be posted and you would see the photo I took of them as their new profile picture.

Then about a year or so ago.. I realized I had outgrew my Nikon Point and Shoot (although I love it) it just wasn't taking the photos I was envisioning. Thus began the process of begging and asking for a DSLR camera. Still during all this time. I didn't consider photography a hobby or even passion of mine. It was something I just did.

Finally, last fall my Husbands birthday gift to me was a Nikon D3100 and since then I have taken a bunch of photos that I am really proud of. My Husband has also done a great job and supporting that and buying me new equipment as I grow. And it wasn't until I got this gift that I realized this was a passion of mine and had been all along. I still not a great photographer and I have a lot to learn. However, I am still very happy with the shots I have taken and where they are now.

 So.. Now, To The Exciting News about it is that some of my photos are being SOLD for a few days on this site called 500px  and I would appreciate if you would take a look, vote of my pictures and so on and so forth.. maybe BUY a piece = ) hehe

My Zoo Family

O,k this is another one of those books that just doesn't quite fit my normal blogging format. I received this book as a gift from my Grandma Bumb and it was made in 1957 so it is quite old. The book is about the author and her husband who were just normal New Yorkers, until her husband friend got a job as a zookeeper at the Bronx Zoo and from there she mingled her way into caring for the baby and young animals. Basically that is the whole book, her talking about the animals she raised and the dilemma's they faced. It is a cute book, but not that well written in the sense that things needed to be ended and formatted better. As I read the book it definitely reminded me about how different the times were and couldn't help but think a million times, this would never be allowed now-a-days. Overall, if you are an animal lover you will like this book.
