Seriously?


Upset doesn't even describe it. More like disappointment. I borrowed my dad's camera for a few days and was excited to have a camera where I could swivel the screen around and see what I was capturing when doing self portraits. Little did I know that even though he has a 12mp camera he has it set on the lowest setting. So now I've got some decent shots but they're all....ugh low quality. They'd never be able to be printed without looking grainy. Why would anyone want such small photos?? I guess now I've learned to ALWAYS check the settings, because leaving it on good quality obviously isn't...well obvious.

Hello

**Note** I'm aware there are previous posts. But I dont feel like deleting them. So I'm pretending this is the beginning of a new blog.

Well, here goes another attempt at the blogging thing. I’ve done this many times before and it fails miserably because I always forget to write stuff down. I’m hoping I’ll use it more though because I can post my photos and such here that I really like. For anyone that reads this I guess I’ll write a bit about myself:

My name is Jen. I’m 22 and recently graduated college. I feel I have a seemingly useless bachelors in German and I have no idea what I’m going to do with such a degree. I’m unemployed and my savings is dwindling fast. If I don’t find a job within the next few months I’ll be forced to move back to my parents. I have the worst luck with guys, and you’ll probably see multiple emo/depressed/angry posts dealing with the guys (or lack of them) in my life. And even though I just said that…I’m not emo. I love to listen to music and my favorite band of all time is Death Cab for Cutie. I also enjoy reading. Lately I’ve been reading the House of Night series and I’m über excited for the new book coming out today.

My biggest hobby lately is photography and I think it would be cool if people thought my stuff was good and that I could make money at it. People keep telling me to apply at a portrait studio, but I dont want to have to take the pictures that other people want. I want to capture what I see in the world as I see it. I don’t want my stress reliever and escape from the real world to become my work. Maybe if I were decent at portraits I’d think differently.
