Beer and Shooting!
Well all, my favorite holiday has come and gone. You’ve got to love a holiday where you don’t have to buy anyone anything, and the only requisite activity is…. DRINKING BEER.
Ryan and I went out with friends last night for beers and food. (and side note… that is NOT wasted beer on my shirt. It is baby spit.)
I just was thinking. When was the last time a picture of me made an apperance on this website? Yeah, not too often. I’m not really good about handing off the camera. I’ve got to do that more.
Speaking of someone who didn’t hand off his camera… Ryan (and his new eyes!) drove me down to Tucson today to the University of Arizona to visit the Center for Creative Photography. They have an exibit of Harry Callahan’s work right now and I love his pictures of his wife Eleanor and his daughter Barbara. He took pictures of places and then just put his wife and daughter in the places as accent. Here are two of my favorites:
Beautiful, huh? I love his pictures of people, but I was surprised at all the odd pictures of buildings he had. Not really that inspired, just pointed his camera at interesting buildings and shot. Could I please do that and be a famous photographer?
Tomorrow I have to do a totally stupid assignment for my photography class. Have I already talked about it? Taking pictures of a white thing under different types of light? Here’s my main issues with that: I only want to take pictures which could turn out to be actual GOOD pictures. I hate the idea of just taking pictures for the sake of learning my camera. You know? I know I have to do it to learn how my camera operates, but I want to do something interesting.
Ryan’s been home for a full week and a day. He goes back to work tomorrow and sadly I am not glad to have him go. Miss that boy. Right now we’re two beers and a shot in and we’re about to have a wild night of BBQ and That ’70s Show. What could be better?
Oh, and before all the beer drinking this weekend, I’ve lost 4 pounds. Celebrate with MORE BEER!
