okay, apparently you can't type your entire post into the title field—it has a limit to how many characters it will allow. so i'll put the rest of my post here. as i said, i wanted to put up a different picture tonight. something completely different. but i found this and forgot i had it. i like this picture. it was taken at a great little restaurant/coffee house in rogers park {chicago} where my sister lives called uncommon ground. i believe it is also the favorite spot for my best friend, jessi, to hang out and drink coffee. {she lives in rogers park, too—hey, how unfair is that? my two best friends live in the same town together. without me. oh, well. at least this way, when i go to visit one, i can see the other, too.}
i have digressed... i know. back to my point. my sister and i were sitting enjoying our day together. i could barely see her, though. the sun was so bright coming through the windows. she was just a silhouette. so i did what i always do when i sit across the table from a person i can't even see. i got my camera out and started taking macro shots of things on the table that i could see. ;-) it was fun.
i know. i'm a geek. i don't think there is a place that exists that i would not start taking pictures. the picture i had planned to post was taken from my car while driving—something completely different. oh, how i love to capture the most insignificant things, because they are very significant to me. they are things i see that move and excite me. i know. you're thinking, "c'mon, sugar?" am i right? yes, even sugar.
if you know me personally, the next time you see me, i will have my camera in my bag. if you have not met me, but have the chance to some day, be certain i will have it with me then, too. i keep thinking i will grow tired of taking pictures. but i love it more every day. i'm going to some photography workshops with some friends, and i can not wait! i want to learn and soak it all up like a sponge! i don't know how or when i was bitten by this photography bug. but i know i'm beyond cure. and happy to be so.
oh, wait. that was not the point either. i was supposed to post a specific photo for a specific person. sorry, P. but i could not find it. i still will, though. instead, you all get sugar. because you are all so sweet to visit me from time to time. it makes this all that much more fun! and i need that in my life. so much!

Recently I sold my cannon a470. I had bought it without my family's knowledge and so I could not use it openly, meaning that I barely used it, though I tried some macro shots when no one was around. Now that I have got nokia 5800 xpressmusic I thought it was time I let my camera go and let it someplace else where it could be put to better use, though I could not help but feel sad. I always had a passion for photography and it was that passion that had made me bought that camera,ignoring the practical problems that would arise from its purchase. I had made myself a promise, whenever I land a job I will buy a new camera, hopefully better than what I had bought on my first time.
one of my favourite things to do, macro shots of the table. i have taken some wonderful shots that way. it is always such a surprise to see what i get.
What a cool shot? That would make and awesome card too. I understand you exactly when it comes to caring your camera everywhere. You sound so much like me taking pictures of everything.
I am thinking you need to start a card line to sell on etsy and in the boutiques there.
you are so beautiful and sweet - so glad I discovered your world.
xo
