I've just bought a new lens (my first Canon lens) and it is spectacular. The only thing is that since it is a portrait lens I cannot seem to get out of the rut I am in with photographing only vertically. =/ It used to be that I would photograph only horizontally...but I guess everybody goes through these phases.
I'm very terribly excited about going to college. I have been working very hard lately on senior pictures and comissioned pictures alike, and everything is going very well in terms of my progress as a photographer. Sometimes I am still very easily discouraged, but nowadays I atleast now how to fix the problems that occur. It is very easy to be a critic, but very hard to appreciate.
