Photography is on my mind

I have so much to talk about and I think I will start with my photography.It has been my latest hobby as of the last few months !! It was a slow start and now I am doing photo shoots just about every weekend and I love it. I am no normal photographer. I enjoy doing what they call fantasy shoots aka themed shoots. It truly tells your version of the story. Here is a collection of some of the pictures from the shoots I have done over the past couple of months











These last two pictures I took with film





To check out more from each shoot follow me on my photography blog if you like to get lost in a dream world.

Vacation Pictures from Dominican Republic

Hello All,

I can not believe that 2 months have crept by !! Wow just a couple of months ago I was so excited about my vacation to Dominican Republic and promised you all pictures and when I got back I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to share my pictures with you or my funny stories..lol !!

 We had so much fun and the resort was beautiful !! I am sure you saw in one of my previous post how many cameras I took and boy did I have fun taking pictures with all those different cameras.



When you arrive you get off the plane right on the landing strip and the airport is like a huge straw hut it's definitely not like the airports in the states.



We went on a couple of excursions while we were there. The first one was the sand buggies. We had no idea we would end up with mud all over us. It was so crazy you ride these things in the middle of the road and over in DR you can pass people in oncoming traffic and they drive so crazy it was scary but lots of fun. We drove them on the beach and then down dirt roads which led us to a cave. 



This is right before we walked down into the cave and jumped in cold water. The whole time we were walking down into the cave this dude was like you people are crazy they have snakes in the water that bite. I started to get nervous. But when it was my turn to jump I said screw it why not I am in DR in a cave let me do this. I did it and the water was so deep it took me which seemed like forever to get back up to the top and then I had to climb back up on a rope to get out. It was very adventurous.




The picture above of this pretty island we went on a party boat that took us to a couple of different islands and it was really neat.
