Bits and pieces

I've been trying to post pictures as much as I can, and take pictures also as much as I can, because it has been said before that practice makes perfect. Here are some pictures that I took on a walk the other day.

I haven't been taking too many pictures lately but here are some I took yesterday.

I met this cat on a walk with my sister. It didn't like me and ran away right after I took this picture. Too bad.

I love taking walks in the evening. You get the golden light...like this.

My Dog Skip

Actually, my dog's name is Jazz. She likes playing fetch. :)

Make A Wish

My picture for the day. July 14th. Time is flying.

July 12.

While I was in Pasadena(if you see my previous post), I saw a lovely brick building that I made my sisters stand in front of for a while so I could take their pictures.

I really like this picture here just because while it's a very straight-forward portrait shot, what makes the picture interesting is the composition and color of the brick. I did saturate the picture a bit to give the brick and the color of my sister's shirt more definition but if you ever want a cool place to take pictures, brick buildings are most always a good place.

This picture here I edited to be black and white, but the next picture down you will notice is the color version of the same picture. I did this to show what a different look you can get with black and white, or color. Because of the brick building, I think that the color version of the photograph may be better because it shows the interesting color range of the brick but the black and white adds a dramatic effect to the picture which I really like.

A Day in Pasadena

The other day, my sisters (Dana and Addy) and I went down to Pasadena for the afternoon

to have some lunch and hang out around the city. I took some pictures as we walked around the city with our stomachs full and our souls happy. Here they are:

Such a cute pizza place. So picturesque!

My sister Dana is quite the coffee lover so we went to a coffee shop called Intellgentsia. This particular coffee shop has a couple stores around California and is quite well known among the city people. I would say it's just a fad....but they make a mean latte.
