Photography Blog and New house!

Upstairs Hall

We got the house!  Well, we don't close for a few weeks and we need to do inspections etc...But the above photos are of what ought to be the new Peanut home. This is a brand new house.  The reason it is furnished in these images is that it was "staged" for a photo shoot and showcase. Dave and I are not feeling too excited yet.  I think we have had such a challenging time finding something that we are wary.  The real estate market here is the only one in the US that is actually thriving and booming.  Prices are super high and the market is very competitive in the areas we want to live in. We were not prepared for that.  It took us a long time to realize how little we would actually get here for our money (in town).  We are all excited to settle in here and make this house our home.  Thanks for all your your good wishes and prayers.

Since we moved, I have not really been taking any photos.  I really love photography and I want to improve.  I plan to take some classes and to concentrate more on technique and editing.  So, I have started a photography blog.  I am such a novice. I know that. Most people who have photography blogs are actually photographers who display their techniques and talent. That is obviously not my purpose.  I want to track my progress and I would love kind and helpful hints.  I hope to look back and see the improvements that I make over time.  I also think it will force me to take chances in my photography and to take more photos.  So take a peek here.  I am having a header made soon.  I cannot use my blog making software on my Mac (lumapix).  I need to learn how to make them in Photoshop now.
