Today we are gonna start looking for a new mentor. In class we went in the hall and gave Robb Davidson a call, he is a wedding photographer here in Wheaton. We told him our plan and asked him a couple questions to start. We are going to email him and set up a time where we can meet. We are thinking about bringing a portfolio, and our cameras and hopefully get some tips and tricks about photography and pour cameras. http://robb-davidson.com/blog/ thats a link to Robbs blog, looking at his picture I have completely fallen in love with his style. The way he focuses on the people and makes the background blurry is gorgeous. I cant wait to start working with him and learn how to take pictures the way he does.

Today Julia and I presented our elevator pitch to the class, just so they know what we are doing. After school today I am going to go talk to the photography teacher about being our mentor, since she hasn't gotten back to us yet. Also over the weekend Julia and I are going to go to either North side or Adams Park, just to get used to our cameras, and get some cool shots of nature. With my family I went to a pumpkin patch and played around, surprisingly I got some really nice shots and I was really happy with how the pictures turned out. Hopefully they turn out good this weekend, and i'm excited to get see some of the shots Julia has taken. So far i'm loving my camera and the fact that I know how to use it makes me really happy. I really like taking shots that focus on a certain thing, and the blur the background out.

this is a picture I took, playing around with my camera over the train tracks and I love how it turned out.

This week I got used to my camera! Sadly our mentor still hasn't answered, but I made plans to take pictures of some of my friends just to practice. Over the weekend I played around with the different functions in my camera by taking pictures with my friend. Today during class I worked on my proposal responding to the comments, however i'm not going to turn my form in until the photography teacher gets back to us! Next week we are going to bring our cameras in and just practice taking some shots. Tomorrow, we are heading to the last football game to begin taking our pictures.

I ended up not going to the football game, due to the weather however I did start messing around with the functions on my camera. Today in class we emailed the photography teacher here at North. We want her to be our mentor for this project, since she can give us lots of tips on how to use our camera. The email was composed of how and why we would like her to help, and asked if she could answer a few questions once or twice a month, either in person or over email. We also introduced ourselves and what the project is all about! Last week I went around the golf course, that I live on, and took some picture, just to get used to the feel of using this camera! I'm super excited to get to know more about my camera, and cant wait to start taking some gorgeous pictures!
