Lily and the Stubborn Flower Crown

This summer is dedicated to photography. But being me, it's already been about several weeks into summer "break" and I find myself watching episodes of The Office, pigging out and catching up with friends, and a whole lot of running. On a brighter note, at least I'm exercising? I dislike getting tan, but I got dark so quickly just being in San Diego for two days when I came back, so I just went with it. (I used to wear a jacket every time I played tennis my junior year of high school because I didn't want to get tan.) I'm stuck waiting for a job and/or an internship. Life needs to get moving and it needs to start now. :(

I particularly bought this flower crown just to do a photo shoot with it. I'm not sure if I'd actually wear it in public. I'd probably get odd stares and what not. The crown is actually poorly made and was falling apart while on shoot, but it photographs beautifully. After over two or so years with my expensive fatty lens, I've grown wayyyyyyy too attached to the lens. So I decided to switch it up to get more practice with the lens I did for this mini session with Lily. This lens, if used properly, takes stunning pictures. I get a lot of killer shots whenever I did bust out this lens. I just never had the patience for it. I've had my camera body for about 4 years so I'm excited to say that I'll be getting a new camera body soon (within the next several months). Before I wasn't certain when it was I'd be getting a better body (I didn't want to get something a notch up) but I'm pretty darn sure I'll be getting it at the end of summer or in the winter. I'm more excited that I can have a back-up camera and that I don't have to switch up my lenses. I'm looking into upgrading my mini instax camera and getting a new wide instax camera. I had dropped my wide instax once (the strap got loose) and it has been malfunctioning since then. Sometimes my mini acts funny too, but I like to think that the film is messed up. Haha.
