Photography

Photography is something that I have become more interested in these last few years. I think it began when I would read adoption blogs where the Mom's were amazing photographers! A good picture can capture a memory so well and I just love it as well as the creativity involved. I began reading more on photography and researching cameras because it was something that I thought would be fun and a good hobby. Also since I was in China and part of my job included photographing the children for our website and blog, I knew that a good camera was essential. 

In the summer of 2013, I taught private swim lessons to several children in China and was able to save up enough money, with the help of my Grandma and parents chip in for my Christmas present, to buy my first DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel T5i. I bought it in December 2013 and haven't put it down since! 

It has been almost a year of having my DSLR and although I have definitely improved in the last 10 months, I would like to take my photography to the next level. I have decided to take on a 30 day photography challenge. This means that I am going to take a picture ever single day for the next 30 days. In order to help me, I found a good list of ideas or prompts for each day to give me an idea of what to photograph. So here we go. My 30 day photography challenge. Starting.... October 15th!
