Camera Passion Re-discovered!

It is finalized, I am going to be a wedding photographer icon biggrin Camera Passion Re discovered! My new website is under construction and I can’t tell you how excited I am for this new adventure!!

You might ask how I know, that it is the right thing for me to do?

Well, yesterday I was surfing the web about all different aspects of photography and found some great advice, that goes perfectly with my poem by Mark Twain. Setting goals, living the dream, exploring, saying good bye to the shores of shelter..

The one article that talked about setting goals also talked about getting to know your gear. That kinda hit me hard. Of course I know my camera, I don’t use auto-anything and my pictures come out nice and people like them. Think again Miss!

Somehow this gave me the energy to take out my camera and I ventured out into manual mode and some menu settings. I played around for a while, exploring my sweet black baby and was amazed how much more I can get out of my camera!!! Seriously, have you ever used manual mode? I never did and I can’t believe how much control I have over my pictures now!!

Here a few samples, no Photoshop involved (other than resizing for web use of course..) and remember, these are my very first pics, using manual mode..

20110909 manual1 net1 Camera Passion Re discovered!20110909 manual2 net1 Camera Passion Re discovered!

Nope, not even adjusted the colors, this is all straight from the camera, even the black and white!

I learned two new things and I have found my old passion for photography once again! That is why I know that I am good enough to go out there, make myself vulnerable and get started! Sure, I might crash hard, but I know it is the right thing to do at the right time. Sometimes you just know.

Now we only need a way to solve the financial part of the project… Camera gear adds up quickly, especially if you have certain standards icon wink Camera Passion Re discovered!

xoxo, Rahel icon biggrin Camera Passion Re discovered!

PS: I promise to post something scrappy tomorrow icon smile Camera Passion Re discovered!

Date Saturday

Just a quick ‘Hello’ and ‘No, I’m not dead’ post icon wink Date Saturday Yeah, haven’t had that much time lately to blog and show stuff cause I’ve been keeping myself busy with some (not so) new ideas for the future!! I’m just saying ‘Wedding Photography’ for now. I had the idea a few years ago and almost jumped right into it last year, but chickened out in the end. I didn’t feel comfortable enough and just needed time. When I read this the first time, I knew I have to give it a serious shot! Now! Or I might never do it….

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So, throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.

Mark Twain

(I know I have posted this before, but I think it is soooo powerful!!)

Oh well, I did tell you a bit more than I intended icon wink Date Saturday Anyways, it can’t be bad, cause now I can’t let YOU down, right?? icon wink Date Saturday I’m definitely excited what kinda doors this will open up for me.

But now to the content I initially wanted to share with you today icon wink Date Saturday Some pictures from a very perfect date with my beloved Adrian icon wink Date Saturday

20110906 date1 Date SaturdayUsually we do date nights on Tuesday (so we get the Tuesday special for the movies), but last Saturday we went to the store to buy some goodies and headed out to the park to have our picnic. It was so much fun! I had the idea to ask each other 5 serious questions (which wasn’t exactly easy, cause we know so much about each other icon wink Date Saturday ) and it felt so right!

Sparkle Shoes

It happened again! I have GREAT GREAT GREAT news and I’m not supposed to share it with you till early next week! I seriously have to do my best to keep my mouth (or in this case my fingers..) shut!! Really! So so so hard for me icon wink Sparkle Shoes heeeeee But I will succeed icon wink Sparkle Shoes heeeeeheeeee

So instead I thought I would do a little post with a question, and it is super important to me that you are gonna answer it icon wink Sparkle Shoes Please…? (so write many many comments guys icon biggrin Sparkle Shoes )

‘kay, remember that I talked about my Sparkle Shoes some time ago? I am probably the biggest fan already, but seriously, they are so so so adorable and I think every single girl on this planet should have at least one pair of them!! So I did a little research and found out that there’s nothing like this on Etsy (yet)!! icon biggrin Sparkle Shoes

20110813 shoes009 net2 Sparkle Shoes

(see, aren’t they super cute?? And they go great with each and every outfit I put on since!! And sooooooo comfy…..)

Soooooo… My Question to you! Would you buy these guys on Etsy? And if so, what would you pay to get a pair of your own? Remember, it’s all hand-bedazzled so please don’t go too low icon wink Sparkle Shoes

I’m just really really curious if this might be a market niche that I could fill icon smile Sparkle Shoes I would totally love to expand my Etsy Store and have glitter all over my place icon wink Sparkle Shoes heeee

Please, let me know in the comments icon biggrin Sparkle Shoes Thank you so so much!!
