don't fight your instincts

So I haven't been writing much because I have surprisingly had a busy week. I do still have pictures to add however of whatever sparked some inspiration in me this week. They are all of random things, but some of them are pretty neat and original! (I hope). I really do take my Nikon everywhere as you can probably tell by now, but this really proves it. You never want to be caught empty handed if something neat catches your eye! Hope you'll like them!

I was sitting in my car waiting for my friend to get home and was bored.
Why not snap some shots?
This is pretty neat how everythings glowing (as it should lol)

Here is one of my prized possessions right now, my purse.
The shadows add a lot of depth to the photo, making the colours stand out more!

I found this guy all by himself at the dollar store and couldn't leave him alone!
He is so cute lol so I put him in my car :)
Doesn't he look happy now?

No integra's were harmed in the making of this photo.

This 'hole in the wall' leads into our downtown area.
It looks like a whole other different area on the other side.
The door is wide open and the path is clear!

Here's the 'tegra at a much happier time lol
with his proud owner behind the wheel.

Here's our new advertisement!

She looks so innocent here!
It is such a cute picture

Look at her little hands holding the cracker!
This is so adorable, but also interesting at the same time.

Keep on snappin'!

let it snow

So this blog was supposed to be for school, but I've been thinking about keeping it updated... why not? It's a neat way to show off some photography stuff and vent about whatever I feel like :) It's a stereotype that girls always keep diaries, but I've actually kept a journal since in I can remember! It's a healthy thing, I think! I haven't done it or so for the past year or two and I have realized that I have missed it now! Enough about that anyways, now about the Nikon!
We sure got dumped on these past couple days! In some places there is over 3 feet of snow in my yard! For fun, my boyfriend and I went outside one night to get into some snowy mischief.. I was careful to keep my Nikon dry though :) Here are some pictures demonstrating the ridiculous amount of snow we have! Prepare to be amazed! haha

Haha half this pile is shovelled snow, it makes my back hurt just looking at it!

I just like this photo because of the lamp in it :)
It's so Christmas-y!

The 'tegra is snowed in!

This is all fallen snow baby.
It's deeper then it looks!
Trust me - I stepped in it and it all went in my boots!

I love how you can see all the snow in this photo!

It's so pretty!

This is just ridiculous!

What a goof! :)

This is unbelievable!
There is 3 feet of snow on that patio table! haha

That tree looks freaking huge!
I love this photo!

Stop laughing at me!

my Nikon and I

Since I can't go out right now, I am sitting here with my Nikon in my hand remembering all the good times we have had together so far. The first week after I got my Nikon, the two of us were inseparable. Within the first two weeks I had taken nearly 500 photos. I went on a couple adventures over the Christmas break while learning how to navigate the incredible camera. Here are some of my favourite photos that arose out of those certain adventures.

I love how my Nikon catches the lighting in this photo.

This photo is so Christmas-y it could help me feel the Christmas spirit in the middle of July.

My Nikon, best friend, and I made a quick visit to the beach for some photos.
I saw the beach frozen over like this a few weeks before and couldn't believe it.
I have lived in this town for over 16 years and have never seen anything this incredible!
My friend was yelling at me 'catch the birds, catch the birds!'... so this one's for you Rachael.

This is, and probably always will be, one of my favourite photos that I first took with my Nikon.

The focus is incredible for me.

I feel like I could stare at this picture for hours and never quite get bored of it.

The sun came out quickly while I was taking this photo.
The ice looks magical captured here.
It looks like there is a tidal wave in the background, but don't worry, it's just clouds.

So I spilled a bowl of popcorn down my stairs and this is what came out of it.

The reason this photo intrigues me is because of the one button that stands out from the rest: "TALK".

No need to explain this photo, look at that smile! :)

shout outs to my brothers!

my new baby!

Well I hope everyone had a good Christmas and new years! I most certainly did! I got spoiled this Christmas since Santa brought me what I asked for + more! I got a brand new Nikon D40 camera and 2 new lenses; an 18-55mm and 55-200mm.
So now I'm the nerd out of all my friends that is going to be taking pictures every chance I get! This is why I decided to start my blog on digital photography... or more like Nikon photography :)

Peace out homies,
