i just bought this...no...really



Last week, I sort of made a major impulse purchase. After an hour of internet research, I walked myself into best buy, grabbed the first boy in a blue shirt I could find, and pointed to this beautiful work of art. Just look at it. Isn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your whole life? I thought you'd feel the same... My credit card, however, did not, as it is currenlty having a massive breakdown. This tends to happen when I spend a few weeks salary in one purchase. Credit card shock.
Please say hello to my new canon eos rebel t3i. I named him Benjamin for short. Benjamin came with two lenses, a big bag to lug him around in, and a memory card. I have used him twice thus far and am very excited with the results. I still have much to learn, but I have the basics down. The basics being aperture, shutter speed, and iso. Sometimes, when I increase one, the others don't work so great. I know it is only a matter of time though because as they say, practice makes perfect. If practice doesn't make perfect, I will simply refer back to the tutorials on digital photography school (an amazing free resource if you've never been on it). I'm going to go now because I'm rambling.

the royal reception, so beautiful





Still at a loss for words...

the royal wedding, simply magical









At a loss for words...
"Those people who were so recently sneering at her background, and nicknaming her 'Waity Katie', will soon be lost in admiration of her poise and professionalism." Historian Andrew Roberts
"It is a fairytale thing, and people criticize it and say they're making too much of it. But it's about love. And in this day and age, anything that's about love and positivity is a welcome relief from what's going on in the world." Singer Sir Elton John
"I think it's a big deal because there's this romantic notion of the prince. Every woman wants to find their prince." Jane Seymour
"She is so stunningly beautiful, it's so regal, it's such understatement that I think it's just perfection. Everybody is starstruck with her gown." Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council.
"It was one of those enchanting moments really. You just felt a huge great sense of privilege that you were there. It's got the build up of almost of a family wedding, everyone milling around... everybody waving at each other. And then suddenly in comes Prince William and Prince Harry, and suddenly there's a sense of here we are, we are watching history. And from then on in I'm afraid I'm going to have to use a word I have heard all day - sensational." Royal Expert and Author Robert Harman
