Camp NaNoWriMo: April 2021
Good Morning, Dear Reader! Today is the last day of March. You know what that means! April is Camp NaNoWriMo for all you novelin’ fiends out there. For me, I will be putting the finishing touches on my novel Bloom in August. I have a lot ahead of me, but I’m aiming to make my word count higher, change the chronological format of the book, and do a bit of deep character development. So, my story takes place in the 19teens and ends in the 1970’s. I flip flopped back and forth in order to create more tension and mystery. An “Ooooh! What happens next?!” type feeling. What I was…

The pandemic has…

Photography Journey Begins
I have been interested in photography for years and experimented a lot with whatever digital cameras I had, FlipShare cameras that I would pause and screenshot in the frame I wanted, or my cell phone. After a lot of research, I have finally made the plunge and purchased a Canon 7D Mark II. As my primary focus is dance photography, I wanted a camera with a lot of options regarding high shutter speed and could take clear images in dark spaces (I.E. Theaters, rehearsal halls, etc.) Excited to steal my dancers and friends and experiment with my new equipment. Things I am looking into doing are: Long exposure night scenes with a…
