HEADED TO MY COFFIN (but first a quick word from our sponsor)

Helloooo Boogerbutts. Popping in before I crawl into my coffin for the night. Today was day 2 of the new job and so far, it's been a lot, lot, lottttta modules and tests. That said, I think the job is gonna work well. The people are FANTASTIC. Super duper helpful and one of my best friends works there as well. 

Not too shabby.

In other news, tomorrow, after work we're gonna do a little photo walk. Not long, just a short spin through a graveyard, park or where ever the wind takes us.

In other, other news, here are two shots taken tonight after work. My gosh, I love learning about light, shadow and all things photography. All the time, effort, money, stained jeans, classes and learning. 

Worth it. 

Alrighty. My coffin calls and morning rolls around quick. Be back over the weekend to catch up on your adventures and blogs. 

Until then, huggs and bugs, Me.

    1. I lOOOVED it. Once trained it would have been a super duper easy gig. Sadly, things went belly up. PS: Yes having one of my best friends there, was a HUGE bonus. I miss that bit the most. And the paycheck.

  13. Photography is an art form for serious photographers. For me it’s point and shoot.

    1. I dunno Marie. I see you as a serious photographer. You take care to shoot and your eye tells us a story. I don't see you as a point and shoot and hope for the best. I feel like thought goes into your story telling. Either way, it's fun to have a camera in hand. The best.

  26. It’s been a while since my last blog visit, so lots of catching up to do, Ivy. Good to hear about the new job and wishing you well. The new lens looks like a great all around one and it is great to read and see how super excited you are and the results. I remember when I used to feel the same way about new photo equipment. The minions are also great props and sure we will be seeing more of them in future shoots.
