we’re going to make it big someday

Originally uploaded by tori.marie

I’m trying a new setup. I upload my photos from Flickr directly to this blog. Hopefully this will make blogging a little bit easier.

Sorry it’s taken so long to actually post this. This was from way back in September. This is my favorite photo from the shoot. I’m feeling pretty good about my photography as of lately, I can see that my photos have improved from when I started this blog. I know I still have tons to learn, but I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far.

Lately I’ve been dreaming of bokeh. It’s really quite odd

So here is a little peek of what I’ve been dreaming about lately.

Taken at a local school a month or two ago. There is usually a pretty large gap between the time when I actually take the photo and when I post it. Whoops! In the coming months there will be more photos up.

Well I did just that recently on our trip to Pescadero and look what Marissa and I found. A little bridge tucked away overlooking the creek.

Enjoy

Purple and Amber

Tori — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:11:53 +0000

I know it’s a rather dark but I love the purple in the glass and the amber hues of the wood.

I also added a light canvas texture in photoshop.

Poladroid

Hey there!

So recently I found this program that I am in love with. It’s called Poladroid, and it is very cool. You just download the program, then you drag and drop then your photos pop out and you have the option to wait and let it develop or if you like to have fun (like me) you shake the picture and it develops faster.

It takes your pictures from

This

To This

Which in my opinion is way more fun.
