  Hey again! Hope you all are doing well! So, like I said before, I'm going to just start journaling my ideas... I actually don't even know if anybody will read them but just to get them down!

I've always heard that it's a really good idea to carry your camera around with you wherever you can... since you never know when you'll see an opportunity for a good picture. As I was leaving my house to go grocery shopping today, I remember that so I grabbed my camera and shoved it into my purse. We went to Target and my mom decided to look around in the garden center to try to find a good plant for our front yard. As she was looking around, I realized that I was surrounded by gorgeous flowers and plants that were just waiting for me to take there picture! At first I wasn't sure if I should, but I realized that the people probably wouldn't care, they might wonder why I was taking pictures of them, but who cares? if I get some good pictures, it's worth the stares! The worst they could do was tell me not to take pictures but they wouldn't. It was definitely a ton of fun... until my camera died.  So I learned two valuable lessons: 1) CHARGE your battery when it needs to be charged! and 2) this just reinforced my want to carry my camera with me all the time. Sure, there won't always be things to take pictures of but I hate the feeling like I've missed a chance for a good picture. My challenge to you would be to carry your camera around with you this week, see if it makes a difference. Oh, and I will definitely be going back to the garden center at Target next time I'm there!

Hey everyone! I'm going to start posting tips and things that I've found are helpful. Make it sort of like a photography journal in a way.
