Black and White: Bird off the Wire


This picture is from Pagosa Springs. Cobalt and I were on a picture adventure on one of the many little creek paths one morning when I got bored with shooting landscapes and turned to the birds. These birds were really cute but so hard to approach without them flapping away. This picture comes from the fact that the picture is overexposed and the bird was moving. It’s messy but I like it. I had so many crisp pictures of other flying birds but I just kept coming back to this one. I like the whole messy/bubbly nature of the whole picture. Sometimes life is messy and bubbly, you know?!

Btw, today is my dad’s birthday! Happy birthday dad! I love you and miss you but I hope you are having a great birthday! :D

Taking the Plunge


This is my roommate’s bunny, SamE (pronounced “Sammy”). She is a lion head bunny, hence the crazy mane she’s got goin’ on around her little ears. Anyway, with the new lens in tow, I let her out to get some exercise while I practiced my portrait shots (win-win situation I’d say!). I took a bunch of pictures of her but this one is one of my favorites. I love the composition of this shot especially – with the bunny in the lower corner instead of the middle. I also like all the blurredness (I know that’s not a word) of her surroundings. So awesome! :)
