Sounds Fun

[Keeda]

I did start one of these on another general area.. But thought it might be fun in a more like peer area too. So, ask whatever you want.

What do you do for a living?
Welcome btw!

 

[Keeda]

Currently, I just moved 3 weeks ago to a new area so I'm on the job hunt.

But in my dreams I'm a freelance and wedding photographer that does side work as a theatre stage manager/assistant director!

 

[JPPT1974]

Good luck to you in finding
Your new job and God bless!
Don't you just love weddings!

 

[Keeda]

To be honest, I'm not sure if I love weddings or if they terrify me LOL

 

[Keri]

How long have you been taking pictures professionally?

 

[Keeda]

How long have you been taking pictures professionally?

Technically.. I never have professionally. The couple of weddings I've shot have been for friends or acquaintances that didn't have the budget for a photographer so I did them for just the cost of film. This is the same for the wedding I have coming up in 2 weeks.

It's really good practice though and I love doing it, especially for those that can't afford the thousands of dollar professionals. I'd love to start a business doing full shoots at a cheaper price specifically for couples without a big budget or no budget at all. Everyone deserves hundreds of good photos of their day, just not all can afford it. I want to change that for as many as I can.

Are you ready for the fall and sick of summer?

 

[Keeda]

Are you ready for the fall and sick of summer?

Oh goodness yes! I have had this conversation about 3 times in the past few days actually.. I'm ready for a new season!

 

[JPPT1974]

So am I my friend! So am I!

 

[redMountian]

Do you like your life?

 

[JPPT1974]

Any big plans for the week for you?

 

[Keeda]

Oh my gosh! I missed these questions, my bad!

Do I like my life?
That's a complicated question. I can't say I don't like it because hey, I'm still here and I have some really great things in my life, like my family and the privilages I have and a really good paying job. But I'm no where near where I want to be in life right now either. I haven't dated for about 7 years and I'm only 24. I can't afford to go to college yet and still have not been able to do much towards a career in photography.

Plans for the weekend? Going off this coming weekend I'm possibly second shooting (in other words not the main photographer) a wedding on Saturday and Sunday I'm spending with my mom, sister and niece at the Renaissance Festival. So I'm looking forward to the weekend

Oh nice list! Ok, here goes..
How many books have you read? Honestly, I have no idea. When I was younger I used to read constantly, probably close to 2 or 3 per week..
What is the last book that you read? I am currently reading a book called Dreamfall by Joan D. Vinge
What is your favorite book? Oh tough answer.. I'm not sure have a top favorite, though Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is in close running to Hosting the Kazimeer by CE Sales
Who is your favorite character in a book? Hmm.. another toughie.. I'd have to say probably Sam from Lord of the Rings is closer to the top than other favorites.
What was the first book you can remember reading? Actually I don't remember. Sad to admit it but I can remember reading a lot of the Babysitters Club, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys in my elementary days.
What is the most times you have ever read a single book? What book was it? Haha, though I love reading and books, I can't seem to read a book more than once unless it's been several years between readings because I get bored knowing what comes through the next chapter and then stop paying attention to it lol.
Who is your favorite author? Honestly I'm not sure I have a favorite. Too many to choose from.
How many of his/her books have you read? Can't answer that really if I don't have a favorite.
What is your favorite book by that author? Again, really no answer for that one.
What do you use to keep your place in a book? At the moment it's a mini post-it note but usually it's a playing card I picked up off the table when I started reading.
Do you prefer hard cover or paperback? I have no idea why but I would buy hardcover over paperback any day.. unless it's resource books like photography books.
What is your favorite bookstore? Hehe, any one that sells books! Though I should say any one I can go into and not come out broke in..
Do you believe it is important for children to be interested in reading? Why or why not? Absolutely!! So much of things for kids now is on a computer or tv screen or animated in some way. Books allow you to travel into a world you can only find in your minds eye and follow the journeys of characters that can make you feel 110 emotions in a single paragraph! Reading too opens your own creativity and imagination to heights and places you may have never known possible.

What do you think about black and white photography?

Do you develop all your own film and pics?

What state are you from? What state do you live in now? I am from northern Minnesota and am currently living in Minnesota, though I have also lived in Texas.

What do you think about black and white photography? I love a good black and white. You can change the entire feeling and outlook of a photograph by removing the color. Would we look the same at Ansel Adams if he shot in color? Doubtful. He would have just been another landscape photographer. There's a drama in black and white that can't be achieved in colors.

Do you develop all your own film and pics? Honestly.. I hate developing lol. I absolutely love shooting film but was never at all interested in developing and still find it a rather large turn off to some seminars and classes if they include the developing/darkroom process. On the computer though, I do enjoy processing digitals.

I really like Black and white photography. I agree that it totally changes the feel of the picture.

I like digital cameras, but I must admit I really enjoy manuals and developing my own film/pics. Although I think digitals are better on the go and at most events.

What do you like best/least about Minnesota?

 

[GodsAmbassador2Nicolette]

Do you live in a rural or urban area?

Have you lived on a farm?

 

[Keeda]

I'm not sure I'd say they're better per say. Definately more convenient as you're not changing film constantly and that stuff. As far as at events, I honestly think that all comes right down to the equipment itself. There are still things in color and brilliance you can achieve directly in film where in digital, you might find you have to work with it a bit more to find that "awe" state. In working with my two cameras, I'm finding myself frequently disappointed with colors that look washed out and dull over the great, clean colors I get with my film. I'm still learning though hehe, and always will be.

<b><i><font color="blue">What do you like best/least about Minnesota?

Hmm.. What I like the most is the variety. We have all 4 seasons in full, right now we're in the perfect fall. And I love the landscapes. North there's the north shore along Lake Superior with the rock shores and scattered state parks with waterfalls, south there are plains and all through the middle there's tons of nature areas and lakes and really anything. What I don't like sometimes is the unpredictability about the weather lol. Literally we have gone through 24 hour periods where the temperature has changed by about 80 degrees from one day to the next. It can get quite confusing and hard to plan anything lol. And the winter usually is a bit longer than it should be. Otherwise I love it here.
