A Wisp of Time: May 2013

As I look back at all of my pictures I realize, once again, that they are all of nature. Flowers, trees, grass, etc. Nothings wrong with that, but I need to practice taking pictures of people! Especially since it's a whole new 'angle' of photography. My only question was, where am I going to find people? Sure, I could take pictures randomly of my family, but I need someone to sit for five minutes in the same position so I can practice on them. Great.. who's that going to be? Turns out, I have a sister who was more than willing to be my model. =D So that is what this post features, our results from the two PhotoShoots we've done so far. =) I personally like the 2nd one better, where she's in jeans. I learned a ton, just from the first one. Such as, even the sun is cool, there can be to much of it! =) So the 2nd one turned out better because I knew a little bit more than the first time. =D

As I was looking through the lens of my camera, I was struck with a thought: My little sister is growing up! whoa, whoa, slow down. Is this really the little girl that randomly plays the piano until I'm ready to throw myself on my knees begging her to stop? That used to play dress-up with cute little ballet tutus, or made a fort and colored in it? The little girl that refused to read cuz it was 'boring'? I guess that was a long time ago... she's learning to play the piano better (though she still does make want to do that), it's no longer ballet tutus that she dresses up in, but long dresses are donned instead, to go film the play she wrote. Reading is no longer boring, but exciting. That is, as long as it's the right book. And she's no longer cute, but pretty. Ah, how fast the years fly...
