What ever happened to a good old fashioned pen pal? My sister sent a beautiful package in the mail the other day and included was letters written to the girls by their cousin. They were so excited for me to read & then re-read the letters to them. It brought back memories of all of the old school pen pals I used to have growing up. I guess I am a little nostalgic when it comes to times gone by. How did we ever survive without the internet, email & cell phones? I sort of miss those days but obviously appreciate technology as I am using it this very second. Well today we decided to forge a friendship with our cousin via the Postal Service. I found these cute mini envelopes on Etsy with mini butterflies to fill them with. The girls even colored mini pictures and wrote a few words.
Speaking of old school I really want to bust out our film camera and learn to work that baby. I was able to go to a class offered by Nicole this last weekend with my Momma. What I like about her photography is how clean, fresh & classic it looks. Nothing is really altered that much and she does not use actions. I hope to learn the language of my camera like that someday. Anyway a piece of the homework that was given was called a day in the life of_________. I started today by filling in that blank with a vintage green swim cap. I had to carry my camera with me all day and take photos of it where ever I went. I even have some pics of the green cap on the floor of my kitchen right where the girls took it off and left it. It was much harder than I thought it would be, especially when I tried to photograph myself in it. For now I will just be happy with the small progress I've made even if it is no where close to where I want to be. Not too bad for just a stock camera & lens though. At least the subject matter is good. Photos straight up manual from my camera (except for a little cropping action)so beware.
Dear Mr. Postman,
Pls. bring me a couple new lenses & a flash.
I don't have much money but I am familiar with the Secret,
so I am sending this out into the universe.
That is it for now.
Sincerely,
Me
Does anybody believe in the Secret anyway? Well it's OK to dream, right?
Help, sister where are you when I need you? Can you tell one of my girls likes to pose a little more than the other?
