Portraits of a Painter

Snow Day

Walking around St. Louis

Christmas Time

New camera and first photo assignment

So I am taking a photojournalism class this semester in order to force myself to use my camera more at school since I literally took it out 2 times in my entire Wash U career thus far. Ridiculous I know, but I am turning a new leaf of carrying my *BRAND NEW BEAUTIFUL AMAZING* camera around with me as much as I can. Our first assignment was to take portraits of people, so I took some more posed ones of my friends and some of random people from this street in St. Louis called the loop and here are the ones I liked best:

The Jersey Shore

Though NJ haters will bash on the Jersey shore, there are many parts of it that I would argue are quite beautiful and clean. I took a day trip there today with my family and took some pictures of the beach/boardwalk as proof. I also walked down to this cool looking old casino and took some pictures of that as well. It was such a nice day and here is evidence of its loveliness.

Hot and Sweaty Trip to the Farm

Today I decided to go to the farm with my mom to pick some berries and take a few pictures. I had gone the other day with one of my good friends after a hike, but it cost five stinking dollars just to walk on the farm property and I don't have endless funds here so I planned to come back another day. Unfortunately, today the berries and peaches weren't really all that ripe in fact the peaches were like rocks. Also, it was burning hot and we were literally dripping in sweat (well I was at least), so we didn't end up staying long. Anyways, I took a few pictures that I liked so here they are:
