through the viewfinder
I saw an interesting idea for photos on flickr called 'through the viewfinder'. You take a picture through the viewfinder of another camera, which is a lot harder than it sounds. It made some very neat pictures, especially when I used my polaroid camera.

big news
I went to Florida a couple weeks ago and came back engaged :) I'll try to post the photos from my trip soon, I had a lot of fun photographing pelicans and surfacing dolphins.
I've never been the kinda girl who dreamed of her wedding since she was born, so actually planning this wedding may be more difficult than for normal women.. I'm excited about the being-married part, just not the planning and organizing part. I don't care for the logistics or fine details. I woke up in a panic this morning to the realization that we'll need centerpieces for the tables, and I have no idea what "my colors" should be. so how on earth could I create centerpieces without "my colors"? and the wedding isn't for at least another year. i'm starting to understand the appeal of eloping to vegas.

stray dogs
a few weeks ago a small stray dog showed up in our neighborhood. Of course I immediately started to spend all of my free time trying to get her to let me pet her, and when I am not doing that, I am worrying about her. She's the sweetest thing, and now lets me pet her, and even rolls over on her back for a tummy rub. She has no collar, and judging by her aversion to people, especially men, I assume she's been hurt by mean person.
Its beyond my comprehension how someone could hurt that sweet little dog. How could someone abandon that sweet little dog? Chances are, and again im just assuming, that someone dumped her in our neighborhood. Its a large neighborhood, so they probably figured that someone would take her in. Unfortunately none of the neighbors can, and instead that terrible abandoner put me in a tough position of bonding with this dog, only to know that I have to give her up too. I want her to find a good home, and she needs someone to bond with to start trusting people again. In the meantime its going to have to be me, and its going to be very hard to let her go.
