It really is mind blowing to see your own picture printed and framed. #staincoloredthoughts #photography

So proud of my #sister! She is graduating with her #mba from #websteruniversity this May. We took this picture yesterday and got it on the first try and yes she threw those books up in the air! My sister is an amazing woman who doesn't let any obstacles get in her way. Very proud of her and would not trade her for for anything in the world. #nationalsiblingday #staincoloredthoughts #photography #graduation (at World's Fair Pavilion In Forest Park)

Assignment #4 I had to shoot bird's eye view, Worm’s Eye View and perspective. Not my favorite assignment. But It was challenging. #photography #perspectivephotography #birdseyephotography #wormseyephotography #digitalphotography #meramecarts (at St. Louis Community College–Meramec)

Assignment 3 from my photography 2 class. Definitely a challenge when you do big prints but the pay off is worth it. All are sized 16x24. #photography #digitalphotography #meramecarts #staincoloredthoughts (at St. Louis Community College–Meramec)

Sometimes #photography can be a stressful medium. Especially when it comes to the technical side. When I have my camera in my hands I'm excited by what I can capture. Yet when I have to transfer my pics to my cpu, that excitement is quickly dampened down because I feel like I'm fighting to bring my pictures to life through software that is so frustrating to learn about. I've tried to learn since Thursday to figure out how to do burning and dodging in @photoshop and I'm still not any closer. It's not my first attempt at it, it's just the latest in many failed attempts in not only learning that but other things about this software. I've read tutorials, watched videos, and tried things myself. Unfortunately nothing seems to work for me. I definitely prefer the d&b technique in the Darkroom when I'm doing #filmphotography. If there are any other programs that offer a better understanding to editing pictures in general I'll be looking for them because I'm pretty much done with @adobe. (at Barnes & Noble)
