Shawn and Sara - 8/15/2012

I spent a few days at my aunt's house and took some pictures of my cousins using her Nikon Coolpix L810 camera.  The camera has pretty good reviews online, but I honestly didn't like it that much.  I'd much rather use my grandfather's Nikon D40.

I took nearly 50 pictures of them; these are the ones I think came out the best.

My cousins

I did some pictures on my cousins using my aunt's Nikon.  I don't remember specifically which Nikon it is, but I didn't like it.  It was a Nikon Coolpix something.  I wasn't a big fan of it; I like my grandfather's Nikon better.

A couple of the pictures actually did come out pretty good; I'll upload them tomorrow, as it's nearly midnight and I'm practically falling asleep typing this up.

This is the plan.

So here's my plan.

I'm going to keep borrowing my grandfather's camera and learn to use it.  I'm going to do shoots with people I know (aka - my cousins, my sister, my sister's friends, etc.) for free while I'm still learning.  And no, I'm not going to take a photography class.  That costs money I don't have.  I'm going to keep saving my money until I can afford to buy my own camera.

The issue with using my grandfather's camera is that it isn't mine.  I can't keep it at my house.  I can't bring it to school with me.  I can't use it whenever I want to.  Which is why I'm eventually going to get my own.

Anyways.

I'm majoring in Early Childhood Education.  I'm going to be a kindergarten teacher someday.  And hopefully by that time, I'll have my own camera.  I'll have someplace I can take pictures.  I'm thinking that when I have my own house, I'm going to dedicate one room to being my studio.  And I'll take pictures.of people, like portraits and things like that.  And I'll give a discount to my students' parents.  So I'll have extra income coming in because, face it, a teacher's salary isn't great.

But that's my plan right now.  Will it change in time?  Most likely.  But as of right now, that's what I'm thinking.
