Today is finally Friday and I'm having a pretty great morning so far. My parents are out of town again. I don't like it when they leave because I hate being alone. I'm not really alone because I have friends that would come over and keep me compony and sleep over, but I just hate the fact that I'm not with my parents.
Yesterday I found out that my order for my new camera has declined. I was super depressed about that because I was really looking forward to that. I haven't told my mom yet because she already has a lot of things to take care of so I'll just wait. My mom also has my old camera. I can't wait till she comes home, and shows me the photos that she took.
I'm really happy that I'm getting my mom interested in photography. She's always artistic so I'm sure she'll come home withs some beautiful photos. I love seeing her succeed in things such as photography, art, and any hobby that she loves, just like she loves seeing me succeed in my hobbies.
When I think about it I don't really have any other hobbies other than photography. I do go walking with some friends, but that isn't nearly as fun as photography. Just like how some friends would prefer playing basketball than hanging out with me. Which I'm totally fine with.

Negative
Today is the first day of the second quarter. It didn't really start off great. I'm in my second period class and we completely have nothing to do. On the other hand, my mom ordered me a new camera, but I just checked my email and it said the order declined because we put some information in wrong. It's not a good morning, but hopefully I'll get my stuff together and the day will end well.

Finally
I'm going to try my hardest to upload a picture on this blog on Monday. It has been such a long week, and I can't wait to just relax with my camera on the weekend. I feel so accomplished because this is my 40th paragraph that I have written on this blog. I can't wait to get more into this. Everything feels like it's starting to come together, and I can not wait to experience more with this blog.
Sports
I'm kind of getting into action photography. Sports would probably be the best example. Like in one of my previous blogs I photographed and edited a photo of a ball making its way through a hoop. And it made the hoop do a swish. I really liked that type of action, although it took forever to capture. It was all worth it because now that I look at the photo now, it looks really good.
Love
I've been wanting to do a really girly photo about love. I want to make it all pink with hearts everywhere. I don't think i'll ever get enough of girly photos. I just adore them. In my opinion I think they look fascinating. I could honestly stare at girly photos with a bunch of bright colors all day because I think they look so happy. And that makes me happy.
P.E.
I did an irresponsible thing and decided to leave my camera at my friends house. I'm not worried about it because I know she's responsible and won't touch or break it, but I really wanted to take photos tomorrow in P.E. I have no idea why, but I always come up with the best ideas in that class. My P.E. teacher also always admires my photography, so I guess that's a plus.
Happiness, Stress, and Random
I honestly can't wait till I get to start editing photos. I just went out for a walk and I have so many great ideas. A lot have to do with the ocean and sky. The place I live is super beautiful. The sun rise and sun sets are gorgeous, even photos taken with a phone would come out great, so just think what I could capture with my camera. I haven't really seen anything positive this week. Until today because I got to hang out with my friends, and they made me happy again.
All this week consisted of was stress. I was really sick the beginning of the week, and of course it happened to be the end of the quarter this coming Friday. I should have known better to get my work in and get all caught up. I'm going to make a promise to this blog right now that I will turn my work in on time and not be all behind. Because honestly, doing stuff at the last minuet is not fun at all. I'm grateful to have generous teachers that will allow me to get most of my work done.
There are many downfalls to not getting your work done, but for this paragraph I'm going to be talking about what I learned from it. I don't know why, but I also put myself in tough situations like this. Where you have to do a lot of homework in one night, and it will leave you brain dead the next day. Now that I'm growing up I'm becoming more independent. I'm not relying on my mom to help me stuff, and she doesn't have to tell me to do chores anymore because I already know I should do them or else I'll get yelled at. When I do the chores without her yelling at me she's proud of me. I just want my teachers to feel the same way, proud. I'm not saying that my teachers yell at me or anything I'm just trying to put it in a situation that people could relate to.

Cameras
I'd say when the iPhones started to come out that's when I started getting interested in photography. I really wanted an iPhone just because it had a camera on it. I thought that it was amazing that a little screen could take photos and you could just put that screen in your pocket and take it anywhere. Once I got an iPhone I started getting applications on it. There was this one app thats call Instagram. Instagram is a social media where you could post pictures. You basically pick a photo you want to up load and it gives you the choice to edit the photo. They have all sorts of things you could do to make your photo look more unique. Such as filters, cropping, sharpening, brightness. All of the basic things to either make your photo look clearer or representable.
Instagram lead to so much more. I discovered accounts that would show you tutorials on how to edit a photo and life saver apps that make your photos look flawless. Eventually, I started to want a camera. I even told people that it was on my bucket list. My parents always promised that they would get me one to shut me up about wanting one, but they never got around to it. One day I just walked into my ELA teacher's classroom, and she straight up gave me a camera. It was honestly one the happiest days of my life. She basically made my dreams come true. The camera she gave me was a Sony. Finally owning a camera is exactly what I thought it felt like. I feel more important in a way, and I finally have and interesting hobby.
Receiving the Sony has lead me to wanting a better more professional camera. I've been looking at this Canon on a shopping site called Amazon , and my mom literally said that she could make the purchase tomorrow. I don't know if she's doing the same thing to make me shut up, but I feel very excited and confident that she wasn't just bluffing. I could only just get the camera, or I could get the whole set. Which would cost way more, about $600.00 more. It took a lot of convincing, but I did it.
I basically just told my mom the whole history about my photography life, and how much passion I have for it. I don't know how to explain it, but it's sort of a burning sensation talking about it. Because this is going to be my future. Just like how some people get excited talking about how they want to join the NBA or be a model or even just a house wife just like I get excited talking about being a photographer.
One of my favorite young photographers is Isabella Madrid. She's 14 years old and she already has so much experience using a camera and editing photos. She is one of my biggest inspirations, and I want to be just like her when it comes to photography. She does self-portrait photography, and she has some breathtaking beauty. Sometime she also posts a before and after photo which is another kind of thing I want to get into with this blog.
Some of my future plans with this blog is DIY's, Before and after pictures, I'll recommend apps so if you ever come across a photo that you're inspired by, you'll know exactly the app that I used, and maybe you could take and edit a photo similar to mine. I'll do all of this when I am all caught up in school which will be soon.

Work
I have a lot of photos on my camera that I need to import on my laptop. So I could put on my phone to edit. I'm very frustrated on how I should edit my photos. I know necsessarly you don't have to edit photos, but thats the kind of things I like to do. I'm also really focused on getting my blogs caught up so I could edit and upload more photos, but when I think about it, uploading more photos could actually help me out with this blog. I also think it's just time consuming at this point.
I'm going to admit that I'm not the best student at getting their work done. Come to think about it, I'm probably the worst. I'm very ashamed to say that my grade is a F in ELA. I'm thinking to myself "where did I let myself slip", because blogging about something I love shouldn't be hard at all. I really do love photography with all of my heart, and I have so much passion for it. I feel so accomplished when I get done taking and editing a photo. The feedback I get is amazing. I have a lot of people motivating me, but theres just something about this that I'm missing.

Photography
These last two weeks I haven't been taking any photos because I'm not motivated to. There's nothing out there thats been inspiring me lately. It's not that I'm not interested in photography anymore it's just that my parents have been gone and they're the ones who help me with this whole thing.
I really want to start getting into photography again and my mom finally came back. She's one of the main people who motivates me. She also inspires me big time because she sees the world in a much different and artistic way. She helps me see the happy side of everything. Something I like about her is when she looks up at the clouds she says they look painted on. She's very bubbly and I think we all need that one bubbly parent.
On the other hand, my dad is strict. I feel like he motivates me too much. He's my step dad so he's still trying to figure the whole teenage girl system. He's strict but he has his happy days. He loves to see me do what I like to do, like taking pictures of nature. I'll ask him to drive me out of town, and he'll do that. No matter what time it is he'll take me and my camera out for rides. One of the problems with him is that he's not interested in the same type of photography as I am. Which is sorta okay because he points out some really cool things about nature. But not photo worthy.
My brother is in a boarding school, and I miss him more than anything. I feel like he'd help me out a lot with this whole blog stuff. He's possibly the smartest person I know. I don't really look up to him in the real world, but when it comes to school I want to be just like hime. He's become very organized and independent. He gets good grades all the time and he's very interested in playing the guitar. So I assume that he would be making me taking and editing pictures of his guitars. Which I don't mind because it's something different and new.
I have three brothers and all of them fish in the summers. My oldest brother fishes in the summers and winters. He's also on a T.V. show called The Deadliest Catch. I want to take pictures of the water for him, because thats what he loves the most. Is being on the water and catching fish or crab.
I have one sister, and she's the oldest out of us all. She's a really down to earth girl. She likes all sorts of weird things. She's sort of a hippy. I'd probably take a picture of a sun set for her and edit it to make look all trippy and illusiony. That's another type of photography I'm into. I'm not sure what it's called, I just feel like people could really see the emotion and art in photos like that. Plus it looks super amazing and cool.

Lame
Today, I didn't take any photos because I wasn't inspired by anything. I did look at a bunch of photographers photos to try to get inspired. None of them really made me want to take pictures, but I did admire how beautiful some pictures were. It made me wish that I could take and edit a photo as beautiful as other photographers could. I called my brother for some motivation and encouragement, but he didn't answer his phone which was the downfall of the day. Tomorrow, I will take and edit some photos for sure.
