'Cause Baby You're A Firework!

4th of July is a time for fun, but for me I was on a mission to create my very first firework photo! Of course I had fun along the way though. When I took the images of the fireworks I set my camera up outside of Kaboom Town at a friend's apartment. It was me and 8 of my friends crowded around on a small balcony to watch the fireworks. I had a great time capturing these beautiful bombs of color. This image is actually three photos in one. The location I took the fireworks was not as pretty as I wanted it to be. So I went downtown and took a different photo and layered the fireworks into it. My secret is out, but I thought I would get caught anyways! Happy shooting and I'm looking forward to next year's show and location!

While I'm on break from classes...

I made it my goal to at least finish one book before my summer vacation is over. The book I decided to sink my teeth into is called "The Alchemist" By Paulo Coelho. This book takes you on a journey of what people should become and what people are comfortable with becoming and following your instincts. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a short story full of wonder. I am not currently finished with the book, but I am excited to see how the boy's journey plays out!

What's Your Favorite Treat?

After having a bad night last night my friend decided to surprise me with a "care package." Within this package, which was actually a Spongebob Birthday bag, included my favorite non-chocolate candy ever! Starburst of course! I was so happy I had to show off how sweet he can be sometimes. Using window light I set up my starburst in a cute little dish to make them look more at home. Spilling the candy was an accident, which makes the image more playful.
