Things I Like
Ok 2 out of 3....Math....well let's just leave it 2 out of 3. I love to read. I was the kid you saw with the huge rimmed glasses walking and reading. This act garnered laughs for many years... until it became cool to read again 20 years later ..thanks to Oprah. I have ruined many frames like this. My interests are so varied, many times I find myself reading several books at a time. Currently I am reading Daughter by Asha Bandele, Teach Yourself Yoga by Mary Stewart and The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren.
My goal, after I complete these three books, is to read ONE and only one book at a time. I will try to document that task while I partake in one of my other hobbies, writing...in the form of a blog, of course.
My blog is on the blogspot site. Writer In Training is the name of my blog. I titled it as such because I didn't have the nerve to call myself a writer. Lately I have been having wonderful pleasures embedding video into my blog....I know I know that is so old/easy/yesterday. But for ME, it has been a learning experience. I heart YouTube. Especially during and after the election. Wow.
I also have a love for photography. I have fallen in love with two bloggers in particular; Ross Oscar Knight and Karen Walrond of Chookooloonks . Mr. Knight also blogs and shares with novices like me all of the great photographs he takes for brides and grooms. He truly steps out of the box in his approach. His blog also has a very inspirational tone to it, which keeps me coming back. One day soon, I will be able to take the photography class he offers to people a couple of times a year.
Ms. Walrond's site, is equally elaborate in showcasing her photographs. she has done this in various forms first through a regular blog, then through a photoblog and now through this website.
At the end of 2007, shortly before my trip to Trinidad, I purchased a Nikon 40Dx . I was able to get some great shots of outings to Tobago, airport runs as family came in for Carnival and other random shots while I was there. Check the images out below.
Hobbies of any kind are boring except to people who have the same hobby.
