So I have finally finished all the photos for Lance’s calendar! I had some that turned out really well! I am glad that I was given this opportunity. I was able to take a shot with portraiture (which I never really wanted to), and now I even consider doing more portraits in the future. I’m just glad that I can add these shots to my portfolio and hopefully get more work out of it!

   Also, I’m pretty sure that I’ve made up my mind to get the Nikon D7000. The only reason for me stating this is that I have an Amazon wishlist of all the accessories I want to buy for the Nikon already! Well I’m trying to decide what would be the best accessories to get for a wedding. Besides the camera obviously, I’m considering a prime lens, a flash, a telephoto lens, and possibly a battery grip (not really needed, but nice for the vertical functionality!). I’ll have to see where my funds are and what will give me the most bang for my buck.

   Lastly, I added an even newer music player to the right side of the page! I’m glad grooveshark made this cool widget. I’ll update it periodically with music that I’m listening to. For now, it consists of select songs from Enigma. I find these songs particularly haunting/mesmerizing. It really helps me zone out by transferring my thoughts to a completely different universe as these songs create lush soundscapes within my mind. I hope someone else can appreciate!

   So I’m obviously not a programmer. I can’t read code or even begin to comprehend what the numbers/letters mean. What I am good at is googling. Hence it took me an hour to embed this little music player to the right, and damn it, I’m going to write a post about it. It will probably be updated every now and then with what songs/music has been stuck in my head. Mostly I think it will be relaxing music that I listen to while working on art. My productive music if you will. After all, music is a big part of how I get in the groove and really focus on what I’m creating.

   So the first go round is by a musician I just discovered. General Fuzz. All 5 of his albums are free on his website. Feel free to visit his website HERE if you enjoy downtempo music to zone out to. Give him props and spread his name around.
