Photo Exploration Day Six

(from Sunday)

Timmy in action at the Snow bowl in Giants Stadium.  Very cool for him to play on the field, and for me to venture up to the press box.  :)  

Alex,

absolutely

thrilled to be on the field.  What an amazing feeling.   I wish I could feel what he did that day

.  

It was nice weather here in Northern New Jersey on Sunday.  The perfect day to go to Giant Stadium.  Timmy was playing in a special Snow Bowl which raised money for The Special Olympics.  It gave me a chance to play with my camera.  To venture into action shots.  I took many shots that day.  Not many came out great, but it was fun to play.  To adjust my camera and see what I could produce.  It was a wonderful day spent with wonderful people.  

**I need some photo expertise.  Can someone please help me to get the photos to not look so grainy.  Any help would do as I really am not sure what I am doing with  my camera :)  Thank you so much!**

Photo Exploration Day Five

 (

From Saturday)

Stopping for a moment on my drive to take in the sunset.  What a magical experience.  We should all take  a moment to stop and look at the beauty that surrounds us.

When I was driving Cross Country I saw the most beautiful skies, wonderful sunsets, and amazing clouds.  I didn't understand why the sky was so beautiful across the country and why it wasn't like that where I lived.  We all live under the same sky, don't we?

The one day it hit me.  We do all live under the same sky.  The only difference is houses, power lines, and tall buildings get in the way of the sky here.  I am also so busy doing and going that I don't take the time to actually sit and take it all in.  

It is nice to take it all in.  To experience the beauty around you.  Soak it up.  Pause, even for just a moment and see how what beauty you can seek out in the every day.  

Photo Exploration Day Three

Bookstore

The winter is bringing me down.  

Pushing me through this bitter cold and dragging me through the snow, making my little toes freeze.  

It is terrible, simply terrible. 

I have been trying to rev up my creativity by using my camera.  

Taking it out, snapping away, opening my eyes to the beautiful things that surround me.

However my heart and soul are longing, crying, screaming for the sun to shine and for  warmth to envelope my body. 

I need to flick the switch over and turn on the light in my heart again.  

I pushed myself to get out to today

I had the day off and just wanted to lay under the warm covers all day.

But I pushed, and pushed and made my way to the bookstore.

It was nice to roam, to look, to explore.

I plopped the camera on the floor, trying to look at my life through a different angle.

It was a

challenge

for me.  

To use my camera in such a public place with people around.  In a place where you normally wouldn't be snapping photos.  

I didn't take many, but it felt good to put myself out there.  

To not worry about what others were thinking, and just do it.  Just be in the moment and take the photo.  

I need to continue to push myself.  

To put myself out there.

To be brave and strong.

I need to spread my wings and fly.
