venture:
an undertaking involving uncertainty as to the outcome, especially a risky or dangerous one:
a mountain-climbing venture.

 

Well, considering the definition of the word, maybe “venture” is not quite the word I’m looking for. oh well. I will use it anyway. You see, my venture is really not risky or dangerous. It has nothing to do with mountain-climbing. The biggest thing it has going for it is the “uncertainty” part. Yes, it definitely has that in its favor. Allow me to explain.

Normally, I post something about crafts on Mondays. Well, let me let you in on a little secret. {i haven’t been doing any crafts.} hello? are you still there? are you all going to abandon me because I have jumped off the craft bandwagon for the moment? ah!!!

I still enjoy crafts. In fact, I still have several I want to work on in the near future. But I’ve been working on something else instead. (Besides, I didn’t want to get in a bad habit of making some little craft “just because I have to have something to post about on Monday.” you know what I mean?

Alright, all of you who are still reading. All 2 of you;)…here’s the new venture: photography.

If you follow me on facebook, you might have noticed the link I recently posted to a photography site. That’s what I’ve been spending my free time on lately.

It’s called 31 Days to a Better Photo and is written by Darcy of Life with my 3 Boybarians.

If you are at all interested in photography, I highly recommend you to check this 31 day series out. Now, it would definitely be more useful to you if you own a dslr camera. But she shares tips that are helpful even if your camera is a point & shoot.

I am currently ready to start day 19. I’ve been taking time to work through it and learn things bit by bit. It’s been a lot of work and time, but great fun in the process. My daughter is getting very used to the camera. 🙂

Here’s one of my fave pics of late:

Do you know why I like it?
Number 1: it’s of my daughter.
Number 2: I love the lighting and focus.

Anyway, I took that picture using some things I learned from Darcy’s 31 days series. I hope that’s a little motivation for you to go check it out. 🙂

Well, that’s my new venture I’m working on. What do you think? Any of you working on photography like I am? I would love to know any tips you have!
