M and J Engagement!

I'm loving this gorgeous "winter" weather we're having in NC this year! We had a beautiful day for some pictures at the NC Museum of Art.

Film Camera...Going Retro!

Thanks to the suggestion of my old supervisor and a photography teacher, I decided to try out an old film camera! Due to my loyalty to Pentax, I decided to get a Pentax K1000 (this camera was first manufactured in 1976) and found one on craigslist. After a mishap with the first roll of film I attempted, I took it to Umstead a few times to practice. Here are some of the un-edited results:

 

It is definitely a learning experience not being able to get that instant feedback from the display screen. And a bit of a challenge without auto-focus...you're not seeing all the pictures ;-) Overall though, I'm pretty happy with the results and excited to try it out more!

International Festival of Raleigh

I was asked to be a photographer at the International Festival this weekend in the Raleigh convention center. It was a blast! I especially enjoyed the dancers and had a lot of fun photographing them.
