So I think I know what my hobbies are these days. I'm back into scrapbooking, photography, and blogging (obviously). I also still LOVE running, but I am way too disorganized right now and don't have the FEAR of Hood to Coast. Hopefully I'll pick it up again after soccer season. I kind of quit scrapbooking because I just couldn't keep up. Plus all my pictures are on the computer now so I don't have to worry about filing them or remembering when I took them. Photography I gave up on because I got myself this really cool film camera a couple years too early, right before digital became the rage. Anyway, I am a slow learner with the lighting and such, and that is a very expensive way to be on a film camera.
So here's why I'm back into them. Photoshop. I love it! I've decided that is the real hobby. I can make my mediocre pictures look really cool (well I think they're cool) and now that I figured out how to download scrapbook papers and embellishments, I can scrapbook without making a visit to the craft store! I've helped Ashley get started too, it's pretty fun working on pages and showing each other what we've done.
I also had the chance to take some pictures for a friend. It is so fun to see how I can tweak a picture to make it look just the way I want.
So here's my new problem. Now I want a new camera. A digital one that can do all the things my film camera did. I think I could learn a little faster on a digital camera. My sister-in-law, Natalie's pictures are so cool, and I thought how great it would be to just take the picture right in the first place. I wouldn't have to spend quite as much time on the computer...
These are a few of my favorite pictures of my friends girls!

I have always known you to be very good at the computer. (Much better then ANYONE I know) It takes a certain patience and talent to figure it out. I am horrible, but thanks to YOU I can enjoy photoshop and digital scrapbooking now too! I still have lots of questions.. but I am trying to spread them out so I don't hassle you too much! I already told you, but those pictures you took of Julie's girls look AWESOME!!!!!
Okay, so can I be next in line? I would HAPPILY nominate our family to help you on your way to a new camera. I'm serious!
Those pictures are beautiful Lindsi, and you have many talents. I feel the same way you do though, I am not good at anything but not bad at anything either. Nothing I am really fantastic at.
Those are very good and adorable pictures. Ryan and I just got a new camera. I hope we can take good pictures.
For some reason I had thought your blog was one I had on my feed reader and now I've missed the last month and a half! Boo. But I've moved it where I can remember to check it regularly so no more! Call me and we'll talk photography!
