Yet another Photography Assignment...

Here is the latest photo that I have taken for Photography class. The assignment was to take a picture that represented one of these six words:

Mercy

Grace

Truth

Justice
Humility

Faith

I, however did my picture on the word 'Hope'. (Don't worry, I emailed her and got her permission first!) So, here is my picture.

It's supposed to represent the Hope of new life and Spring.

It's been a loooong day.

Wow. It definitely has. I got up at 6:30 this morning to travel to Springfield to visit our family, and then rode in a car for 3 hours. Then I ate a huge lunch, and meandered around the mall with my family. Then, we drove another 3 hours to come back home. I got a lot done, though. I made an amigurumi pear and read about a quarter of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I'll update with pictures from our trip and of the crocheted pear. Didn't know I had so many talents did ya?

St. Patrick's Day Parade

As a lot of you know, KC has one of the biggest St. Pat's parades in the US...well at least usually. Today was the dreariest day I have ever experienced, (OK, that's an over-statement, but still) so the parade was actually pretty small. The IHOP float got placed last year, so we were #27 in line this year. Last year we were #107 in line, out of 108 or something like that. Anyways, most of the people who signed up came and braved the rain and the wind. It was actually sort of fun, although there was no music, so we had to sing along to Isaac Meyers' singing and clapping. Overall, the reception was pretty good, although a few people still mad comments like "Hey! it's the cult people!" and stuff like that. I didn't get to take pictures (the rain), although I did take some in the car on the way home. Only one of them was really good:

You can see in the picture how dark it was.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Adoption

I never realized how many IHOP people are adopting or pursuing it right now. I am blown away by the courage it must take to step out in faith that God will provide the money, the favor (cause sometimes you definitely need it!) and everything that they'll need. There are so many great stories! Everytime I stumble across a blog that is done by an IHOPer that is adopting and giving updates, it makes me smile, because I know that God is smiling on them too.

It's about time.

I finally changed my header picture to a photo that I actually took. I had to change the entire skin and everything. Oy. Anyways, I'm posting to tell you that I finally bought my own Camera. YES!!! Here is a picture I took of it:

Isn't it beautiful? *sniff-sniff*

Anyways, I took A LOT of photos yesterday, using the close-up thing on my camera. I don't want to confuse you with all this technical speech (ha-ha) so I'll show you the symbol on the camera...

And....(drumroll please,) here they are.

These are actually two paintings that my Grandma did, I just took pictures of some of the details.

And...

Here is a picture of a candle.




And a plant...

And a picture of my Mom's applique...



And the grand finale...a calculator.

A dirty calculator.

IHOP

I guess it's about time that I explain what this freaky IHOP thing I've been talking about is, huh? Well, I don't have enough time to do that, so this will have to do.

So basically I'm saying visit the link on the sign. 'Nuff said.

Pictures...

Here is a picture of myself that I randomly took...myself.

Anyways...Here is a less-blurry picture of Anya and Juliet. :)

I love shooting things! (haha! I mean Photography of course...)

Community Photo

Here is the photo I took for the "Community" assignment in Photography. First of all however, this photo needs some explaining. My neighborhood has statues at the beginning of every street. I thought that it would be cool if I took a picture of some of them. To me it symbolizes Jesus, the Lion of Judah. Or, at least that's what I was trying to symbolize. Also, my dad and my sister thought that the trashbags represent something too, they're just not sure what...

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, I actually took this picture from a car, with the window up. Pretty impressive huh? The camera was set to an ISO of 400 or something.

Here are some other pictures that I have taken recently...

I actually LOVE this photo. It's my friend Anya's half-eaten apple. She was really annoyed at me for taking it, but I thought that it was really cool looking. The really pale inside contrasts perfectly with the dark red outside.

This another one of the statues in our neighborhood. I think that the blue face makes it look very interesting.

I'm sorry, but this is THE coolest fire hydrant EVER. I don't know why I love it so much, but the colors and the peeling paint just make it look so...I don't know, abandoned?

This statue is in one of our neighbor's yard.

Again, in a neighbor's yard.

What is it with me and photographing statues?

Tuesday

Tuesday is just about over, and I'm sitting here and contemplating how it went. This morning was great, because it was the GBF (global bridegroom fast, for all you non-ihoppers) so everyone was there. Also, Mr. Fraser spoke on dilligence, and that was like, awesome. Then we all went over to the JPR (Justice prayer room, again non-ihoppers) and that was really good. And, to top it all off, I got some photos that may work for the "Community" assignment. I haven't loaded them on my computer, or edited them yet, so I guess ya'll will have to wait. That's about all that happened.
I have to go, I still need to finish my Algebra 1/2, and possibly do some Geography, and finish the dishes, and save Metropolis, you know, the basics.

Farewell my adoring public!

P.S.- If you guys didn't get the 'Metropolis' thing, you have never read a comic book. Ever.
