New gear to play with and graduation.

I finally upgraded from my 15" PowerBook G4 (that mac doesn't even make anymore) to a brand new 24" Imac! It's so much easier to get work done, edit my photos, and actually have them look the same when I transfer them to the computers at school when I print them! It's such a relief and stress reducer to have it. Next step is to upgrade my camera, my poor Nikon D70 just doesn't cut it any more (Nikon doesn't make THAT model any more either)! So I'm looking at the new NIkon D700, I just don't know if I have the money to buy it though... maybe my parents can get it as an early graduation present for me... hopefully.

Speaking of graduation! I have exactly 4 months until the big day and I'm starting to freak out. I will be returning to the Kansas City area, primarily in Lee's Summit so I need to start looking for a job out there, hopefully it won't be too bad considering there are about 30ish photographers in just the Lee's Summit area. 

Here's to hoping I can make it through the next 4 months without freaking out too much!

A break from the heat...

finally gave all of us here in Denver a relief. I got out to shoot tonight out at Red Rocks with the lovely Becka. She was a doll to photograph and all the people running up and down the seats thought so as well! The anti-rain dance we did when we first got there worked too! I had no issue with shooting in the rain, but apparently Becka's hair poofs out like a koosh-ball when it gets wet. 

Hopefully her boyfriend, Ryan, likes them since they are for him.  She says he used to be a pro soccer player so maybe I can get him in front of the lens soon.

Hopefully the weather remains nice to us!
