Fall Seasons, Job, Waivers, and Bicycles

I love the fall season because i feel like we're just gearing up for winter. Like at Christmas time,we take out the decorations and it's like having all the decorations out on the living room floor, not opened, but there. It's like a drumroll for when snow comes. 

Good news! I got hired at the local ski resort and I told them that I could take action photos so i might be able to take photos for their advertisements and stuff like that. Which will be really fun because I've always wanted to do stuff like that. I might want to use a GoPro instead of my Pentax just in case I crash while taking photos... who knows. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. 

I also got a job for a business, taking pictures of their new product, which means that I am going to have to have my models sign model release forms. I guess this is like the first time that I have ever had to do that. im really not looking forward to doing that. it'll be a pain... 

The picture that I did for today is of my bike. It's Fuji Finest 2.0. I think that it is the 2006 model, I'm not quite sure. It took me a while to find a bicycle that I liked that was my size. I'm only 5'2" and this could pose a problem. But I really like this. I got the clip less peddles to go with it and I really enjoy using that. It's much easier and faster. 

I hope you guys enjoy the new way that this blog is, and I hope that I will be able to post a lot more. 

Change

Just to let you know, i just changed the URL so I could have photography on here and not feel weird about it... lol. :)

Recent Stuff.

I went on a drive Saturday to visit some friends up at an academy near Spokane. They were having a talent show, amatuer hour thing so i took photos.

The talent show was pretty good. here are some photos to recap  of the night.. 

Now time to book some more senior photography sessions. :) 

Photography and Vegan?

i need to get time. i wish that i could make time happen. the only cooking that i have done is grabbing left overs for my lunches. maybe i'll have to turn this into a photography blog for the winter. and it won't be bad. I'll just have to change the name or something... idk. i'll just add in Photography and Vegan?? Idk..

Photography?

I feel like this blog is becoming more of a photography blog than anything else. Photography and cooking? Does that work together?
I would think it would be good... I just need to be more free. I have like a full load of classes + online classes. And I know I ramble a lot about all my school work. So to make up for that, I thought I'd post some pictures I took of my good friend, Danny.
I was like I need to try doing some silhouette. Didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to, but I like it.

I feel like he's the kind of guy that would play football, but he doesn't ... which is kind of sad. But he is a very good last minute model. 

hope you enjoy the photos. :)

Someone told me to say this. It cracked me up. :)

It's november!

Happy november everyone! I'm working on finding healthy pasta. I think I found some. It's called Smart Taste. It's in a purple box. It has good amounts of fiber. About as much as the whole grain ones. Check it out! We can get it at walmart

They have all different shapes and long noodles. :)
What are your favourite kinds of noodles?

Caramel fails

I made something non vegan for a bake sale fundraiser thing. I used a caramel recipe that had condensed milk instead of the regular heavy cream. I thought it might be healthier. I don't know what went wrong, but it was hard as a rock. I had it come to softball stage but it wasn't right. Something was badly wrong.
So I wrapped them and am giving them away as "now and later" kind of candy. If you don't know what that is, it's fruity

 chewy candy. Well I guess mine will be carmely flavour now and laters. I think I might buy some of the right ingredients and try it again. It's really easy to clean up since you don't take it all the way to the hardball stage. That's complicated to take off a pan. I hate doing that. I have made peanut brittle, toffee, and other candies. This is my first time making caramel though. I do notice that it sticks really bad and burns... hmm. back to the kitchen it is! 

just a question...

Is it hard to eat vegan when you're out with friends? Discuss!

Even though I haven't been doing so many recipes, i have been doing quite a bit of things found on pinterest. Im planning to do like pinterest DIY gifts for christmas, which will be really fun, because I'll get to spend Sunday's from here on out busy making things for my relatives!
I have a feeling that this weekend Im' going to try melted crayon art...

here is the pin
it says that you just take a blow dryer and crayon and go bananas on a canvas. I will try this and report back.

Or you can do something like this. I will see what i have and do what is most practical for my resources. {Spellcheck to the rescue!} Haha. sound so professional there... except for the first time i spellled practical i spelled it wrong... oops! 

Have a great weekend!
