A shout out to Megan and Katie

:) Okay okay, you two better love this one! I know its a real slack of a post... and the pictures are pretty cruddy... but it's all I can do this month! I'll shoot for more Nikonlove next month! :)  

ENGL 150 - best class ever.

ALRIGHT... In no way did I ever think that I would be putting my photoshop to good use within my ENGLISH class!  We are working on a project where we have to describe ourselves behind one of our many "masks."  For me, this includes but is not limited to the following: a sister, a daughter, a photographer, a mac enthusiast, a girlfriend, a cousin, an organized mess, a poor college student, a roommate, a friend, a crappy-phone-owner, a sharpie collector.... etc. (You get the picture..) Anyway, I, needless to say, chose to be "a photographer" for this project.  We each also have to have some sort of visual to go with our eight page paper.  The possibilities are endless, and if I didn't have so much homework this week I probably would have taken a little more time on this... ANYWAY....I found it acceptable to post this on my photo blog. Enjoy!

Snow. My worst enemy.

YES! FINALLY! The snow from last week is melting! :) HORRAY!

PSYCH! It's baaaaack. Here's a view from my window... There's no happy campers living on Smith 10 today! :( At least I have Modern Family and Off the Map to look forward to... :)

LET THERE BE LIGHT: Nikon Bliss!

:) Let's start off with a smiley face - because that's exactly what I've been doing ever since I stepped out of Rockbrook Camera yesterday.  I am now the proud owner of Nikon speedlight! (SB700) I've been looking to purchase a flash attachment for quite some time now, and finally gave in. Yay!

Also, speaking of "LIfe Through My Lens," I have a new lens to add to my Nikon collection -- the 55-200mm -- Merry Christmas to me! (Thanks Mom, Dad, and Kurt & Angie Bracht!) I have been going camera/flash happy and my family is probably fed up with me. Now I just want it to be summer so I can use the lens on the boat! Anyway, I thought this was a suitable post for my photo blog.  Merry Christmas everyone!

'Tis The Season!

I got home from Lincoln last night and have found myself clinging to my camera to get these wonderful Christmas shots.  The tree is lit, the stockings are hung, and the Santa collection is on display.  Also, I cannot forget about my most favorite dessert in the whole wide world, creme brulee, and how it was waiting to be devoured as soon as I stepped foot in the doorway. YUM. (Thanks Madison & Makenna!)  Max got to open her present early, and is (surprisingly) not bucking the Husker sweater at all! Go Big Red!

The Goddard Family

Thanksgiving family reunion, an outrageous amount of food, and photography! That's the way to go... Enjoy!

What a beautiful, brisk morning to stroll to the capitol building.  Here are a few of my favorites from my adventure. :)

Wieman Family Pictures

The sun was an enemy, and if you ask Gary, the wind was too! :)  Enjoy!
