Meet My Camera


Once upon a time
I took pictures every where I went. If you were in my range of view I'd pull out my little pink Sony Cyber Shot, and go to town! I was the keeper of all college memories, so I acquired the name "Paparazzi"
This is were "Project Paparazzi" came from. Instead of documenting late night college shenanigans, I am .... Dare I say it .... Growing up. I now want to document my many travels, daily routines, exciting events, and my attempts to be creative.

So, it's my privilege to formally introduce you to my creativity machine.......

The Canon Rebel XTi

Ok, Ok, ..... OK!!! This isn't really MY camera, but it will be soon enough! Angel has ever so graciously let me borrow his camera. We have both agreed that I have much more fun with 'our' camera than he does. (The Canon what a 2 week fad for him)
SO, the plan is I am either going to buy him a really nice Fuji film Digital Camera in exchange for The Canon OR he is getting some dumb boy thingamajig for the rifle he is building.

Never the less, Project Paparazzi has commenced!!!

Now Introducing Project Paparazzi

First off, welcome to my blog!
Frankly, I never thought of having my own blog. No, wait, I'm lying: I had the temptation just once (that was a looooong time ago) and decided against it. Now, I can't avoid it any longer. The reason behind my decision to start a blog is partially inspiration from the all mighty Abigail, and partially in response to the closing of my facebook.

Yes, I said it. I’m closing my facebook.

My top 4 reasons why:
4. Quality takes a back seat to quantity – I'm looking to build the quality in my relationships, not, quantity
3. Stalking is too easy – I admit it. I am friends with certain people on facebook just to check up on them. I check to see what they are doing who they are dating and how many kids they have from how many different baby daddys. It’s just not right.
2. Nothing is hidden – Privacy. Not saying a blog is any better, but at least I can control what information is being shared with the World Wide Web
1.  Attention Seekers – You know who they are. Those people that post about every moment of there life, in hopes that SOMEONE will comment or like their status. It’s just irritating.

Nevertheless, here I am, blogging. I have a feeling this will be more of a photo journal as I experiment and play with my new found hobby, PHOTOGRAPHY.

With that being said welcome to Project Paparazzi
