Today I got my first digital camera. It's a Canon Rebel XT, and it shoots great. I also went to a class today to learn how to use it at the community college. I knew a little bit, but now I'm going to learn lots more about the process. My goals are finally coming forward for me, it's a happy and relieving feeling.
^I made this sign. :) A year from today, my public library closed down because of lack of funds. So we had a rally/funeral/memorial service for our library today. A group of people and kids march down our downtown area and up to the courthouse front steps. Reporters from the local news, radio and paper were there. The newspaper that was doing the story could send out a photographer, so I got to be the "photographer" I took pictures and I read a poem I wrote about the library closing. So I might appear on the local news, which is weird and cool at the same time. And here's the poem I wrote: Destruction of a Library World of Words, Their time is ending. On the shelves they sigh a bitter sigh. Why should people cry? Only words on paper Behind brick walls Why do I sigh, This humble cry? Why do the words mean so much to me? How can people not feel what I feel? About an old building that smells like old paste That binds together beautiful words In the arms of ancient paper Old
Ooh, those pictures are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI agree! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I really want to learn photography.
ReplyDeleteI have a Canon Rebel XTI! And your pictures are amazing! And I love photography!
ReplyDeleteWhat lens do you have? And don't start looking at lenses. You'll go crazy. My favorite lens I have is a 50mm f/1.9, that large aperature just makes me perfectly happy in every way.
