30.Apr.2009 giving you an update

So i haven’t blogged since March 26th – that’s over a month!

I’ve neglected my website because of the whirlwind.  Things are looking up though and I’ve had a few days to regroup and do some fun stuff.

Winter term 2009 is officially over for me.  The marks are rolling in, so far I’ve received a grade for my Women’s Studies course “Women, Girls, & Popular Culture” {A}, and the Criminology course “Criminology in Contemporary Issue” {B+}.  Not too shabby. I’m still waiting for grades for “Contemporary Studies-Media in a Global World” and “History-Canada Since Confederation.”

1. I got a new camera lens that I’m absolutely loving!  It’s the Canon 55-250mm.  Photography is an expensive hobby but I hope to put some of my money towards building my gear because I really enjoy taking pictures. This picture is a shot of my gear to date.  Clicking the thumbnail will enlarge the photo for a closer look at what’s in my camera bag. Also featured in this picture are my Moos … These products are awesome!

2. Two weeks back, we found a stray dog in our backyard.  It was so sad looking, obviously neglected.  Not to mention it was pouring rain out – so we took it in to dry off and warm up.  We called our local SPCA and they were able to come pick it up.  Unfortunately when we called to check in on it a couple days later, we found out that it was given back to it’s original owners.  We hope it’s doing ok.  Anna (our future family vet) talks about it daily.

3. Last weekend I was asked to help out my friend Sarah shoot a wedding at Bingemans in Kitchener, Ontario.  It was awesome experience and there was no way I was going to turn down a day of photography.  My experience with portrature, is limited, but Sarah took a chance on me.  I think I was able to get a couple good shots, check them out below (more on flickr)..
