How do you hold your camera?

    I was watching CreativeLIVE this last weekend and Sal, mentioned how he his camera to keep it steady. He hold his camera one hand on the camera body, other hand on the lens to support it and he keeps his arms close to his chest!

I hold my camera with both hand holding the camera.

So how do you hold your camera?

Broken Ipod Touch

      You will never guess what happened to me when I went on vacation to Myrtle Beach, Sc with my Sister and her family. Let see, 3 days into my  vacation, I went with the kids at night to try and catch some crabs with flashlights and a bucket. I took my camera and ipod, so I could take some photos.  And what did I do o drooped my ipod in the ocean on the beach! I played it cool,  picked it up, wiped it off , took it out of the Outterbox case and it still work. I was like yes! So I got back to the condo and exported all my photo to my computer. Then sat it out to dry and tried to charge it the next day and it would not hold a charge. I put it into rice when I got home and that still did not help! It would not hold a charge or tun on because the battery was died. So I was like what do I have to loss my ipod will not work. So I was thinking! Maybe if I clean out the connection part it will work. So I googled how to take apart Ipod Touch, because I figured maybe I could clean out where the charger connect to the ipod.  It Would help. Well, lets just say I did not improve it at all. But I will be thankful that I was able to get my photos off of the my ipod!

Vacation

     I went on vacation with my sister and her family! We went to Myrtle Beach, Sc. for 5 days. My favorite part was when we took a ride on the Skywheel. It was amazing at the view. The Skywheel is basically a ferris wheel ride where you can see around you 360 degree view of every thing in site! The Skywheel even lights up at night in different colors.

Cookies

   This post is in memory of Paula Mae. She lived with use for over two and half years and she called me her friend, some times girl. I remember her saying come here girl! She passed away from alzheimer's disease on June 11. 

   It is interesting how some foods reminds you of certain people and how you can pick up eating habits from hanging around someone. I picked up this cookies habit for hang with Paula Mae. She love to eat chocolate Chips Ahoy Chunky chocolate chunk cookies, chunky white fudge cookies and M and M cookies. She got me into the M and M cookies and then it went to Oreos! I use to eat Oreos when I was a kid. My top favorite cookie is Oreo Fudge Creames original cookie. Both of the cookies you can not just eat one kind of cookie. It is like a potato chip. You can not just have one.  You should try them they are really great.


   Below are some of my favorite cookies: Oreo sandwich cookie, Oreo sandwich cookies golden original, Oreo fudge Creams original cookies and popsicle Oreo filled cookie.

    

 What is your favorite cookie?

Where do you find your inspiration?

Where do you find  your inspiration?

I think inspiration is anything that helps you generate artist ideas for a photograph. You can find inspiration from many places. I like getting inspiration from Pinterest, magazines, advertisements, music videos and other photographers work. You can get inspiration form a photograph. It can be one little think you like about the photo like the posing, lighting, arrangement of the composition or the emotion in conveys. You do not have to copy the photograph, but you can take a piece of the photograph and make it you own style.

Where to you keep your inspirational images?

I keep mine in a binder and on Pinterest. I am think of storing the photos on my computer in an inspirational fold with keywords. So if I think of an idea, I can type the keywords in and photographs will pop up. It would be faster for me to locate my inspirational images.

Get inspired from what ever you are passionate about or what ever inspires you!
