Autumn is Upon Us

Yesterday morning I made a skillet full of cornbread and my mom made a pot full of pinto beans. We welcomed Fall with a homemade warm meal. We had reruns(that's what we call leftovers) today. I got my chili out of the freezer and made the best meal ever, chili beans.

My chili recipe is Emeril's Chili. I have made this recipe mine, I usually half the recipe so I only use half as much ingredients and it turns out just great!

Going Down the Road

Digital Photography School had a great idea, mirrored self portraits. I decided to do it down an empty county road.

Awesomeness All-Around

What could be better than a workshop that combines photography and the fellowship of God?
I would love to attend this workshop. It will be exciting to learn new things with fellow photographers. I definitely know that everyone would go back home with something new that they learned from both the teachers as well as each other. Other workshops may just cover technical information, but this workshop gives photography a meaning. It is the spirit of God that gives us the talent to do good with what he gives us.


If anyone ran across my above paragraph, Zach and Jody Gray are having a workshop called For the Love in Oregon in November!

They'll cover photography topics such as lighting techniques, posing and basic camera settings. Also, they'll cover branding & marketing and other important topics.

What's Better Than Butter?

This week's theme for I Heart Faces is Photojournalism.

This photograph was taken in Sherman, Texas at the anniversary celebration for the Butterfield Overland Mail Trial. This celebration had demonstrations of quilting, weaving, and of course butter making. They also had a chuck wagon that served food and had stagecoach rides.
