Fresno was…

July 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Fresno is hot. And kind of far away. And my 2 star motel was a little ghetto.

But over all it was a good weekend. And totally worth it. I think it really did me some good to step outside my comfort zone, and to stick to a commitment that scared me (and ended up costing me a pretty penny when all was said and done!).

I got a nice refresher on things I already knew. I learned a few new things that I should have already known about my camera. How to adjust settings that I spent hours hearing about in various classes but it just never stuck.

I also learned how quickly tech stuff gets outdated! My baby is only like 5 years, but lacks so many features that newer Rebels have. Oh well. We’re doing just fine.

So anywho, if you are around Fresno and are looking for a photographer for a wedding/family portraits/senior portraits/etc you should check out Mariano Friginal. He was the photographer who led the Camp Shooty workshop. Super cool guy with loads of talent!

Hopefully this weekend will be a kick off point for me. It’s time to get serious and learn and practice and shoot and learn and practice and shoot and…you get the point.

Oh, and Fresno, it was hot! did I mention that already? poor me and my spoiledbyniceweather self…yikes. Thank goodness I took my mom’s AC equipped car instead of Shaboofa the sweat inducing black box!

Also, I got charged 99cents to use my debit card this weekend! Who does that!?! And what makes it extra lame is that I was buying something that was only $1.40, but didn’t have cash. Dang. Gotta watch out for those sneaky fees!

Flickr is go! {Paloma.Lisa} Photography

I’ve been in Flickr land for a few hours. Uploading, organizing, naming, describing, uploading more….so on and so forth. And now, it’s all up there. Well, not all, my library actually has over 4500 hundred photos, and I think I put like 200 on my flickr…but, it’s all I want there for now. Go check it out! I’ve also listed the link to my page on the link section to the right. {Paloma.Lisa} Photography.

Thanks to my sweet little brother, I’ve got a Pro account for 2 years. He paid for the 2 year upgrade and sent me a sweet, “you’re talented, you’ll do well” note. What happened to the little blonde kid who used to steal my toys? I guess he’s growing up into a young man, with a good heart. That doesn’t shock me, it just happened so fast!

It’s been really wonderful to hear feedback from friends and family. It’s so easy to doubt yourself, especially for us sensitive artist types, so some encouragement is always welcomed.

I hope this is only the beginning of exciting new adventures with a viewfinder to my eye. We shall see.

Also, who’s excited about Coldplay’s new album coming out tomorrow!? VIVA LA VIDA!

What have you done lately, or not-so-lately, that you were hesitant about, but you’re glad you did it? I love hearing people’s stories so spill it!
