Photography is the niche! (an update)

Weather
Okay, so we did hit low 50s this past weekend and boy it was not welcomed at all! We will be doing a roller coaster of weather temps this week for sure, of course according to The Weather Channel. I try not to believe them much since they did fall low on the radar certain days here in Chicago during the summer, so add or subtract a couple of degrees from what they say and that's our weather basically. 60s, low 70s and some 50s are in the forecast for this week!

Photography on the pedestal!
So as stated in my previous blog post, my sister requested me to take family and couple photos of our family before baby Ivan arrives. I enjoyed doing it so much that I woke up sore the next day, my thighs ached. You get wounds or sores in one of the greatest battles you will conquer in your life, to the point of scars.. metaphorically speaking! They ache still a bit today, but its a nice reminder that you did something good and right. And on to some examples, only a few:

We did go to the Chicago Botanic Garden, but of course the weather was crappy as hell or how hell would be if it was frozen lol! Despite the weather, we continued to take lots of photos of the place, but more of the family since it was the request and reason to go. I told them how to pose and well I did my magic on the angles and me only being the one moving during the photo shoot. I enjoyed doing it and will do it again, if anyone's interested. Keep in mind, if you need me to fly to you, you will need to pay for my ticket and then the picture packages lol! For now, I hope I get requests from the same state only and then if I get lots of requests, I just might be able to travel to you.

There are more photos up at my Digital Blu page besides this request. I did take some time away from people and shot plants, flowers, trees, statues, and even pets.. my own of course. Check out my page to look at any type of photos I have taken recently. If you like me to take a photo shoot of you, of any kind, send your info to me!! As I said, it can be you and your pet, just your pets, family, children, an object, or just you... anything, I am willing to any!! I do believe my niche in this world has been discovered... to do photography! Follow me on Instagram for quick previews of my work: Learning2fly05 is my username there!

Weapon of choice
During my time at the Botanic Garden, I noticed lots of people carrying their bundles of camera cases and lenses. I wouldn't mind owning a Canon camera or Nikon one, heck it can be on my wishlist for Christmas, but slim chance of getting one. Anyways, I see everyone with their cameras, as huge as their hands and such.. I have no problems of that sorts. Whats my weapon or camera then you say? My phone is my camera. No its not a fancy shmancy phone either, its just an HTC G2 with google phone. No longer in the market or for sale by T-Mobile, but I'm glad I own it for now. A friend of mine thought I carried a Canon like camera everywhere I go and told them, nope.. just what fits in my pocket which is my phone. After told that, that person was shocked and impressed even more with my work. Oddly enough, I just wish friends of mine who did like my Digital Blu page would "Like" my statuses and whichever photo they really like as well, but nope... they came and went and maybe even skim my work or just don't take it seriously. I take my work and yours quite seriously, so its.. a shame that I'm always overlooked. Oh well, things happen for a reason sooner or later I guess.

Operation: Halloween Costume update!
Short and sweet update, I only need one more item for my costume. I have found a watch laying around the house or dad did and showed it to me. I only need is my white vest in which I will be buying this week! Once I gather all of my "supplies", I will take a photo of them.. not me included just yet. Also the Town Hall of Terror (26 rooms) is coming together quite swell too. Hopefully I can go and well go to the prison with another group of friends or acquaintances of my sisters soon, since it seems that idea is on the table. Will there be photos? Yes, all of the above if one or both events can happen. I won't let that slip off my fingers as well, great opportunity for Fall/Halloween photos!
