It Started With a Text

Its interesting to look back upon the occurrence of events throughout a day that can lead up to a certain photograph taken. Such as these that I'm about to share. It all started this afternoon with a text message from my mom. Which coincidentally lead me to photographing this, what I like to call an 'intriguingly disgusting fungus'.
I didn't plan out my day following the text message with the intentions of photographing the very same mushroom that was sent to me via text message, however as my day dragged on I decided that I needed a mental break from school, from photographing assignments and from the apartment. So I called mom to see if she was still at Grandma's and headed out for a little country air (having completely forgotten about the mushroom of unusually colossal size for growing off of a tree). When upon arrival mom mentioned that I go and photograph the shelf of a mushroom.
Hence these photographs:

Its not every day that you see a mushroom that you could rest a glass upon.

Where to start?

Testing, 1, 2, 3...

The Biggest question always comes to mind when starting a blog... or journal entry... 'where should I begin to break the unsettling silence of my whole life preceding this moment?' I guess that's why I have never finished a journal in my life (almost did once... ) and why there have been so many failed attempts since. I never seem to know where or how to break that silence. So here we go! I'm just going to jump into things.

I'm starting a little bit of a new approach on a blog. Well, new for my personal blogging experience I know that this is not new to mankind. I am starting a semi-photo blog/semi-business promo blog.
Though I may not always be writing down inspirational quotes that will be remembered through generations, I am almost always taking photos. Between school assignments and every day life I manage to bog down my computer's memory with a larger number of images. In my opinion its a little easier to break the silence of days past between entries with a photo, because the photo does the speaking.

That said, let me briefly introduce myself. I'm 23 years old, I have been married for nearly four years this coming November, I am an art student majoring in photography, and a new mother to my beautiful little girl of 7 months now. She has been probably the greatest wellspring of inspiration for me lately, of course any parent can probably relate.

I am currently in the process of starting up a small online boutique (www.wix.com/etreasures/boutique) I have been looking for ways to fund equipment and supplies while in school, and further promote my photography, and this seemed a great way to meld the two together.  Feel free to check it out, and also let me know if anyone's interested in anything.

Enough said.... I am bringing this post to a close (No pictures this time. Sorry). The next post shall not be lacking in photos I promise!

Let the posting begin!
