Assignment: Angles

Since I didn't do that last couple assignments I thought I would just start with this one. Photography is a lot harder than it looks! I know I have a long ways to go, but I am going to give it my best shot. Dan really inspired me the other night. He told me so many interesting things about photography that my appreciation for it has really grown. He thought he talked too much, but I could have listened a lot longer (Dan, you should teach me some more stuff sometime). One thing he told me was to photograph things you love, so this picture is of one of my loves in life-old books. Now that I know more about my camera I am hoping my pictures will get better and better.

Valentine's day movies- random thoughts

So, the other night for our anniversary Connor and I rented a movie to watch together. I was the one who picked it out it was called "Death defying acts". Surprisingly, it is a romance about Harry Houdini. I thought this would be a great pick since Connor loves Houdini and I was in the mood for a romance. I was actually really disappointed with the movie. It wasn't romantic to me at all. Houdini goes on a trip to Scotland (leaving his wife at home) meets an exotic Scottish woman and falls in love with her (you can guess where it goes from there). I don't know the ending because we eventually just turned it off. It really made me question our society's definition of romance. Some of the most romantic movies I have seen are "Cinderella Man", "Sense and Sensibility", "Pride and Predjudice", and the BBC version of "Jane Eyre". So if you are in the mood for a truly romantic movie this week those are my suggestions. We will be watching "Jane Eyre", that is my all time favorite love story.
