California With Family

This July I got to go visit family in California! We went to my hometown, Placerville, and my sister's new home in Napa. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Hope you enjoyed these digital photos. In the future I'll be posting both digital and film.

Yaks, Yaks, More Yaks, Horses

I just got this film developed. The photos are from April, 2015, shot with my Olympus IS-3 DLX Quartzdate (Used $20, from Goodwill- woo!)

All around, not too bad. It was good practice for my nature photography and I had fun seeing all the animals.

First Post!

I found an Olympus is-3 dlx quartzdate film camera at Goodwill for $20 and decided to start practicing! I usually take photos with my  iPhone or little digital camera, but I really wanted to get into some film... so I'm experimenting!

These were my favorites from March and April, 2015:

I wanted to study photography, but I haven't had the chance to take any classes in the subject, so instead I've been collecting my favorite photos from back-issue National Geographic mags (thrift stores!) and making a scrapbook. I kind of just stare at the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Steve McCurry all the time, trying to learn the composition of a good photo.Those two are my favorites.

If you know of any great female photographers (especially photojournalists), let me know in the comments!
