Favorite places and sacred spaces #1

While I was away in Georgia, James bought us our first DSLR camera the Pentax K-r. James works at camera shop so he was able to test out a lot of cameras from different years, with different features and different price ranges.

We’ve always been Pentax fans. I still carry and use my Dad’s Pentax from the 70s, it’s my baby and one of my most prized possessions and James also has a manual Pentax that he loves using as well.

So since I’ve been home I have been practicing taking pictures with the new bad boy and I wanted to share a few from last week. Each week I am trying to do a session with both people and objects separately of each other. I am using myself as the people model and my house and my snacks and meals as the stuff models. It’s pretty fulfilling and I am already seeing improvements every time I use the camera under a different setting.

I tried to make each shot interesting enough to stand on its own, I think the only one that doesn’t is the lavender, but I still like that photo for some reason. This should be a great project to help me watch my photography improve.

Happy Saturday!
