New Camera, New House

I got a new camera, and it's superfancy. I'm slowly learning all of its ins and outs, and I thought it might be fun to chronicle my evolution as a superfancy photographer here. So we might as well start with the new house. I love peeking in other people's homes, and the sneaky thing about a new camera is that I only have to show the places that look good. There will be no garage photos. Ever.

I got a 50mm prime lens to supplement the lenses that came in the kit, and I'm still getting used to the whole no-zoom thing. The result is a collection of photos that look either boring or self-consciously artsy. Alas. I'm learning!

Enjoy . . .

Our $50 china cabinet, with my paper bouquet from our Treehouse wedding...


Ball jars from a Pennsylvania flea market...


The horse that was Mark's and now is Ellie's...


Oh, fabric, my fabric! For the record, I do not consider this photo pretty. It's just...indicative. Also, I don't know what I was thinking when I bought two yards of asparagus print (center).


If you can get my daughter to brush her teeth happily, regularly, I will give you a million dollars as soon as we have it.


This is why our movers hated us.


I feel better about the dishes in our sink when I see the dishes in hers...


And finally, the art studio...


Happy Weekend!

  1. I love your photos, Gin. I especially love the fabric one. If you ever get your arse to Chicago you can raid my closet for new things to sell at a yard sale years from now. Thanks for sharing your writing. I care about what you have to say and always want to read it. Hello Kitty diaries are so 1987. And, my fixed lens is my favorite by leaps and bounds. Love you.
