Sweet pools


these

I learned a few things today. Number one: family reunions are boring as crap, but if you go to the public pool in the park where the reunion is located, you can have lot's of water fun. Two: the water fun can be enhanced if you have a camera that has the ability to take photos underwater. However, if your camera is not waterproof, and you bring it into the water anyway, you may not have such a good time. Three: make sure you are subtle (but not suspiciously subtle) about the fact that you are taking photos of yourself or your friends (today I had no friends, but my cousin did sit by the water and wave at me encouragingly every so often). Don't be a creeper and take pictures of the little kids in their bathing suits. You may be thinking "aww cute!" but to their parents you're thinking "Hmm, I think I'll ask that kid if he wants to take a break and get an ice cream..."

All hat

I haven't written or posted anything on my blog in so long, for shame! Incidentally, after my last post (the one where I wonder if photography is in fact my cup of tea), I got a letter saying that I got into the Ryerson photography program. I was shocked, to say the least, but decided to accept and see how things go. Maybe it will be a lot of fun. I also opened up a flickr account, so I've decided to put the majority of my photos up there, so now you can come here, read my posts and see one or two photos, then click the link I have provided for you on the left which will conveniently lead you to the rest of my fantastic fotography.
