In my last post I told you that I would take the camera along on my way to and from work, just to capture some everyday shots.  Jason and I so often pack the camera gear up when we go on trips or to an event, but it’s not often that we just take it along during our normal routine.  Here are the shots I got.  I must say, I was so excited about this little project that I even set the camera out on the table the night before so I wouldn’t forget.  Then, when I stepped out of our apartment the next morning I was greeted by some lovely rain and wind.  Ah well, I decided to make the best of it and took the first shot below from the cover of my umbrella.

Jason and I went on a bit of a trip over the holiday weekend, and we came back with so many photographs that I am excited to share with you all!  Here is the first shot I edited.  Can you guess where we went?  (No spoiling it for the others if we already told you!)  I will be posting a few at a time in the days to come so keep an eye out!

I must confess, it has been a couple days since I picked up my camera.  I’m going to blame it on the yucky weather, but really there is no excuse.  Great photographs do not always come from ideal conditions.  I think a great photographer is someone who can take a seemingly ordinary setting or situation and find the beauty in it.  With that being said, I am going to let my camera be my buddy for the next few days as I take it along with me on my daily routing–bus, work, life after work, etc.  Maybe I can find the beauty in a setting that has become routine.

Here is one photograph for now.  This was taken at the Biebricher Schlosspark, a park that is walking distance from our apartment.  What do you think, color or black and white?
