Stock photography is a cool thing, especially for bloggers. I will often look to some sites that offer "free-use" photos when I am stuck and do not have an image of my own to use for my posts. There are just some images that I have in mind, but have not been able to execute … Continue reading ShutterStock Portfolio
Hi, I'm Tabby, and I spend my free time taking photos of books. Since June of 2016 I have been an active member of the Bookstagram community - that is, those of us on Instagram who take photos of books and post them on a regular basis. For the most part, each 'bookstagrammer' has an … Continue reading No Photography Like Book Photography
Sure, you can still use their tools to edit a photo, but if you want to save it? Well, then you'll have to purchase a membership. Without any real warning, PicMonkey has changed how they operate, and users are not happy. https://twitter.com/leejennaa/status/912395029137604609 https://twitter.com/LancsKaren/status/912437662446968832 What makes matters worse is that if a free user goes on … Continue reading PicMonkey Is No Longer Free
Each year I usually like to do a mini-photo session for new pictures of myself that look like they might have been professionally done. This started back in November of 2012 when I got my first DSLR camera (a Canon Rebel t3) and froze my butt off at the ballpark to play around with taking self-portraits. … Continue reading Self Portrait Sessions – Through the Years
Photography is one of my hobbies. Though some people say I should really advertise and put myself out there to make money doing this, I'm hesitant because I know there are so many other people out there better than I am... at least I think so. Anyway, yesterday was a gorgeous day out and I … Continue reading Mini Self-Portrait Session 2015
I can remember using my grandma's old Polaroid camera to take pictures when I was about 8 or 9 years old. In fact, a few of my favorite pictures from my childhood were taken with a Polaroid camera (I know for a fact there's one of me about a week old with my left middle … Continue reading taking polaroids with the instax mini 8
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the irony in this picture I took outside of Northshire Bookstore in Manchester Center, Vermont while we were traveling home.
In my experience with photography over the last few years I have found that some of the best photos come out when they're by accident, especially when it's with people. My best friend and I had gone to the park near the college we attended one afternoon to take some pictures because we bored and it was … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Accidental Candid
Like many others, I take Instagram pictures when I'm out... and this includes for when I'm out eating. Not all the time, mind you, but once in a while when I see the shot, I take it. There was one time when my mom and I were at Olive Garden and I couldn't resist taking … Continue reading Quick Instagram Shots
I've seen a few of these posts floating around and I personally find it cool to learn little facts about bloggers I follow such as their favorite things. Even though we get to learn a little about bloggers on their 'about me' pages or in a few random facts posts, those don't normally tell us their … Continue reading my favorites a to z
What is my life without a computer? I've been without my computer quite a few times. It is very hard for me to function doing everyday things without it. I do all my banking, most of my shopping, schoolwork and work on my computer. I probably would not have been in school for the past … Continue reading Life Without a Computer
I'm sure everyone has seen the classic 'pages shaped into a heart' book photo. Well, it's an image I've been wanting to do myself for a long time now and I finally grabbed a book of mine and went for it. I had wanted to try to do an isolated color image since I have … Continue reading Recreating Classic Images
... but aren't promises meant to be broken? No. No they are not. Promises should be kept, but sadly, many are broken. Weddings vows are promises, but divorce still happens. You say you'll visit your friend/family member next week, no, you promise to see them; something else comes up. See? It happens all the time. … Continue reading A Promise Kept
