If there are people out there who still look at my blog, comment to let me know if you still would like me to put pictures on it.

Thanks to my friend Claire, I have been inspired to start using my blog again. This will probably be a long post filled with random things I have been doing for the past 3 months. As you can tell, my plan to update this blog every other week during the summer didn't turn out as great as I thought it would. But my hope is that I will spend more time taking pictures if I know I need to put something on my blog. So one thing I have been doing lately, that is related to photography, is experimenting with my film camera which is a Pentax if anyone was wondering (there are pictures of it in some previous posts). Since I know pretty much nothing about how they work I have been determined to figure it out. Thankfully I have found that a lot of my parent's friends know a lot about them. In my next post I will show you some pictures of the pictures I took with that camera. Another photography relate activity I have been involved in is preparing for this art contest in which I am entering 3 pictures I took. The white flower one is being entered into digital art.

This is a little off topic, but let me know what you think of my new background and title... I'm still in the process of finding the perfect combination. Here are more random pictures I have taken since July.

Aren't those humming birds so cute?! I waited there for such a long time to get those pictures. And that picture of the building and the other bird on a tree are from my trip to Boston which was awesome. We went to Mike's Pastry :) So that's about all I have for now. I really need to organize the pictures on my computer because for some reason my computer decided it would organize them in this mysterious way that doesn't have any pattern like the date they were taken or anything helpful like that. But I will hopefully have some more in a week or two.

Lake House Pictures

These pictures are mostly from my Grandma's lake house.

Summer pictures

This summer I want to take the time to find lots of thing to take pictures of. I have created a goal for myself to post at least 6 pictures of anything at least every 2 weeks. Sometimes I will post pictures 1 week from the starting date, but 2 weeks is the maximum amount of time I have. If i forget, send me an email to remind me. The day I will start and stop will be on sundays. So here are some pictures I took this week. It's nothing very exciting but I like the caterpillar one.

By the way if anyone is confused, I actually do put nature pictures I've taken on this blog. Not just a bunch of pictures of old cameras. For proof, refer to past posts. The oldest ones have some of the better pictures.

Ok guys, my goal is to get 30 followers and I'm only 5 people away! So spread the word.

My Collection

Today I decided I wanted to start an old camera collection. Turns out, so did my great grandpa. My dad had collected a bunch of stuff from him like coins, books, and cameras. Unfortunately, most of them are polaroid and that film is sort of expensive. It's ok though cause I like the first camera I found the best, and that doesn't use polaroid film. So I have taken pictures of all the cameras to show you, and I also took pictures of the pictures I got developed from the first camera.
