while jana and i were at her family's farm this past weekend, i suggested (forced) that she model for me. i know how to work a camera, but i'm by no means a master of it. i know how to edit photographs like a pro, but i'm really trying to learn all of this aperature and f-stop and ISO and shutter speed nonsense. while we were walking around the fields in the back of the property, i snapped these pictures. here's some of my favorites:


i think i'm drawn to the hazy background, the absence of really harsh light, the smooth lines, and the bright pop of color. i wish i knew more technical names to describe my preferences. i'd like to try shooting indoors to tinker with all of the different camera options. maybe i'll try to throw together a little mini-shoot this weekend - i have a really gorgeous red velvet smoking chair that would look gorgeous in photographs.
