a little more inspiration

For this past Christmas, M bought me this:
Photobucket


Not surprisingly, it was my blog reading obsession that led me to lust over DSLR cameras for the past 6 months.
I was so lucky last summer to stumble upon Enjoying the Small Things, and Kelle Hampton continues to inspire me with each new post. Probably the biggest impact finding her blog has had on me was falling in love with her photos. She captures her everyday life so beautifully and makes amazing photobooks for her kids and I envy her photography skills.


So, I decided that I needed a big, fancy camera asap so that I could learn how to take amazing pictures before my future little ones come along, so that by then I can maybe be half as good of a photographer as Kelle. I can only hope.

And while I'm practicing and sharpening my photography skills, what a better way to share the hundreds of random pictures I plan to start taking each day (starting today!) than here. Thus, a little more inspiration for starting my new blog.

ps. Although my fancy new camera does have lots of tricks, it sadly cannot take a picture of itself (without a mirror I suppose). Enter the trusty iphone (and the terrible picture quality).
