Chicken Run

Remember how I teased you guys with the last post? Well, congratulations on waiting it out - it's finally here! This summer my friend, Netanya, adopted a pet chicken named Ami. Of course, Netanya took Ami home the day before she had to go away on a trip sooo ... I got to take care of Ami! We had a lot of fun. Ami had curled toes (it's a common problem. Who knew?) which I made little shoes for. It was great. Anyway, Netanya absolutely adores Ami, so we had to do a photo shoot showing off how in love they are. It turned out very sweet (I think).

This is my favorite, even though you can barely see Ami

100th Post!!!

Besides being the day I post my 100th Post(!!!!), today is also the day I found little baby gargoyles in my basement. What do you guys want from me for your special 100th anniversary? You guys can have anything, honestly. And what do you want more of in the future? I love suggestions, so the next 100 posts will be even better.

(Isn't this cinematic? Well guess what. Completely 100% not computer-generated. It's all real).

Latke for Everyone

Here is my friend's dog named Latke. Isn't she sweet?

And here's a bonus pic. Her pet fish!

Last Days of Summer

I went to the county fair last weekend and let me tell you, it was fascinating!

Come see some of my pictures!

Die Giraffen

Went to Animal Land this weekend. The #1 attraction in the Adirondacks (according to their brochure). It was a little sad, but mostly awesome. You get to feed and pet ALL of the animals. I held hands with a lemur!!!! That had to be the coolest thing I've done in awhile.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Yesterday for my internship with Valerie Shaff, she photographed a woman named Marlena. I took photos too.

Marlena is very bohemian and she gave us shots of homemade cherry sherry. She had the coolest house you guys! Here she is with her new ducks, Quick and Quack. Quick is the boy.

Here are some of my photos:

I'm trying some new photography styles. I tried to be more commercial and also tried to do a more journalistic editorial style. What do you guys think?
