Two Years

I can barely believe it's been two years since I started this blog. Time has just been flying by. Looking back at my archives, I can see how much I've improved since then. Some of the photos aren't too bad, but I can't help but cringe at the over editing and the terrible watermarks I made. I had no clue what aperture, f/stops, or any idea how to operate my camera out of auto, but now it feels like I've known that stuff forever.

(you can read my first year blog post here: One Year)

Here are some fun things that happened this year:

-The biggest thing that happened was being able to purchase my new camera (and I'm still working on a post about that).
-I upgraded from PSE7 to Photoshop CS5

-I got to take Senior Photos of a friend of mine

-I purchased a new lens, the 35mm f/1.8
