How is it only Thursday?! As I start planning more projects and photoshoots, I find myself bogged down by one unpredictable factor: summer rain. New Jersey has been raining a great deal this summer, and it has prevented a lot of fun shooting outside. Now, if Steve Jobs is reading this, if he could make sure that the MAC weather widget reads "sunny" on July 3rd, that would be fantastic. That day is really special to me because it marks the 2nd anniversary of my relationship with photography, and is also Red Bank's Fourth of July Fireworks display. More specifically, July 3rd was the first time my dad knowingly let me use my freshly bought d5000. Before then, it was just sitting in the study room, secretly opened and secretly repackaged, waiting for the glorious end to my summer classes (when the cardboard could be thrashed open, and the prize could be brandished proudly). A lot has happened in two years. I have become a photo editor. I have become a medical school applicant. I have become a boyfriend. And along the way, I have honed my skill and developed a strong fondness for photography. I have learned so much, and July 3rd will be my chance to prove it. Here's to hoping for a good seat, lovely weather, and another two years of photography. Forget it only being Thursday. Time is going much too quickly.
