After last weekends great success in scrapbooking this past weekend was not so successful. I had plenty of time but the pages I accomplished weren't up the the standards I had in my head after last weekend. I think some of them might get re-done. Below is the only one I ended up being happy with. I also managed to get myself a new camera last week! After talking to many people, including a couple professional photogs I settles on the
Canon S95. I had considered getting myself a DSLR but I don't feel like I'm quite ready to go down that road. I also can't afford the expenditure right now due to my somewhat aggressive plan of visiting 3 different countries on 2 different trips next year (more on that later). So far I am loving the S95. This handy-dandy little cam is the size of a point and shoot with many of the manual settings of an SLR. I am mastering the aperture priority setting and then will move onto more advanced settings. I'm having flashbacks to my college photography class days complete with the fear that my shots are not art (as deemed by my photography 101 teacher at the University of New Mexico who shall remain nameless but was a prior idol of mine...bitch). My weekend is in summary in the below photos.
