On monday night I went to a Rihanna consort in Boston. It was around seven thirty when we started to head over to the TD Garden where the consort was being held. There was this building that was collapsing in on its self. The sun was going down and I really liked the way the light was hitting the building. The building was next to the water so I think it would have been good contrasting colors between the blue of the water and the sun lighting up the red bricks. The building also had some other colors on it, like green and red, there was white from the rubble. We went inside TD Garden and ended up going on the top floor where we got a better view of the building. My friends mom was taking pictures of all of us with the water behind us. When she was done i turned to my friend and asked her if i could see her phone. She asked me why and I said I wanted to take a picture of the building. I didn't bring my camera because I didn't want to stress over having to protect it.  Then she got mad at me saying that we were here to watch the consort and not take pictures and stormed off. The consort didn't start till three and a half hours later so im sure we had enough time to stop and take a picture that would have only taken about ten seconds.

Yesterday I had to go to Springfield for my confirmation class. I had to be around five thirty-ish. We were driving on this back road behind this large apartment building and I saw this cool little dam. I wished I had my camera because i would have asked my mom to pull over so i could take a picture. If I did have my camera I would have used a slower shutter speed, though i wouldn't have had like a tripod with me I think there was something kind of thing i could have set it done on, i could have implosive with some books that I had in the car.

So on Tuesday I was talking with my mom about how I needed to take pictures with the film camera. It was close to four in the afternoon. I was explaining to her how I couldn't tell where the light meter was in the camera. I was standing at the kitchen sink and saw this dog come running out of the woods.  My dog who was outside ran up to the other dog to great him. Then all the sudden they where jumping up in the air and running around play. I knew if I went to get my camera I would still have to load the film in and I still didn't know how to tell what the light meter was so I didn't want to risk the over or under exposer. Then the owner of the dog came out of the woods and called for his dog and the dog left. I defiantly would have used a fast shutter speed to capture moments when the dogs were in mid air because it would have felt like a fun and exciting shoot.

Ok, there are a billion birds in my yard every day. I think if I scared them I could get a good action shot of a huge flock flying off into the trees. But when ever i try to go outside either my cat or the sound of the soft click of the door shutting behind me scares them off before I can even turn my camera on! Gah so annoying. I also noticed that when the birds take off they a pretty fast so maybe a fasterish shutter speed could be need. Then again I don't know because they take off the second i'm out the door. They are ways there when i wake up and go to sleep. Maybe if i just sit outside and wait till they are all distracted eating I might because to get a few shots.

So yesterday on my way to school it was really foggy outside and i got some nice shots. But on my way to school i missed a great shot. It was around like eight ten and we were passing the new park on route 30. I did have my camera but we were moving to fast. At the angel I was it looked like the fog was rising up behind the bridge in a large cloud like formation. I did try to get some pictures but it just didn't wok right. I lost my angel in that split second i was trying to get my camera to turn on faster then forgot to remove the lens.

I was in town yesterday around three o'clock with my friend Ashley. We where walking down the side walk and saw this guy who was dressed in really baggy cloths and has this crazy beard. He was smoking and had this little dog  with white-tan with brown spot on his back sitting next to him. He was leaning up against the wall right next to this man and his little girl who where at an ATM outside Bank of America. It looked different because of the man in the raggedy cloths standing next to the shiny wall of the bank just smoking next to this father and his daughter who had to be about four years old. I was about to get the camera ready when the guy with the dog left and it was just the man and his little girl. But I thought it would be an interesting picture because it was so diverse.

One day I was sitting at home doing my homework. My mom came and we where talking. Then we let the cat outside with the dog. So a few minuets later I looked outside and saw my cat walking across a log pile. My dad had put giant logs, more like trees at the edge of our lawn. I didn't have my camera and I knew if I left and got it I would be to late, or if I got the camera and went outside to take the picture I would scare him and he would run away. The picture would be my white and tan cat walking on the uneven ends of the logs, that are a yellowish tan, kind of wet from the snow making it darker.
