Feverish.

My new mission:

Take more polaroids & have more fun doing it.

Since I'm unable to return to my day job for at least 10 more days,

I will have plenty of time to gets some killer shots.

{Stay tuned}

Monochromatic.

You just can't beat black & white.

There's no way.

Craving.

Home, best friends, corn on the cob, long weekends, bonfires, hugs, photo shoots, weddings, bare feet, flowers, Alaska, birthday, French, hair cuts, motorcycle rides, books, grills, puppy & thunderstorms.

I've got summer in the midwest on my mind.

Zealous.

Look what I found:

haha!

I can't wait to start working with you again this summer, Olivia.

I miss you!

Soft.

Isn't this the most precious photo in the world?

Looking at it about brings me to tears.

As a few of you know,

I've pretty much always been turned off to the idea of having babies.

The whole process freaks me out.

Entirely.

My plan was to be the cool Aunt to my brothers' & sister's children

(& that was it)

But after seeing this picture I have been thinking about it

(although pregnancy still freaks me out)

& I find the end result will be quite rewarding.

+

Now, just to be clear, this whole motherhood scene I envision for myself will not be happening for a very, very, VERY long time.

I have to conquer the world first.

Blissful.

Blessed.

I have to cutest little sister ever.

I got this card & necklace in the mail yesterday.

It about brought me to tears.

Thank you Lauren.

I love you little sissy!

{hehe}

Obsessed.

I'm totally loving Kristen Stewart in her Vogue spread.

I would kill for that dress.

Photographed beautifully by Mario Testino.

Nerdiness strikes again.

Admiring.

I got a random Free People catalog in the mail today

& I must be a really big nerd because these photos took my breath away.

Pleased.

This is Caroline [again].

She is such an angel and agreed to let me photograph her for part of my final assignment.

Well we almost got rained out, but thankfully it quit right as we we met up.

She's a natural.

Thanks Caroline! :)

Oh and this little guy came to help with the shoot...

Native.

I love powwows.

Celebratory.

My little sister turned 9 today...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...you little weirdo!

I LOVE YOU!

:)

Overwhelmed.

I bought photoshop today [finally].

So naturally I've spent the last 3 hours playing with it.

I'm a little off my game since I haven't used the program for several months, but I like the way this one turned out...

Before:

After:

If any of you have suggestions for cool actions or templates, let me know!

Thanks :)

Enthused.

Meet Caroline.

She is a girl I met here at CSUN who is also doing National Student Exchange. She was totally awesome for this concept I have had in my head for a little while now.

I love these photos.

Check out the entire session at http://www.wix.com/linnea_fitterer/photography

Isn't she stunning?!

Disclaimer: for some reason on my site, the photos get cut off on the bottom so feet don't usually show. SO FRUSTRATING. But I swear that she has feet and I photographed them. To prove it here are a couple of shot of her kick-ass heels.

[LOVE]

Revived.

I had a great day in the darkroom today.

No necessarily because I produced anything spectacular but it was great because I practically had the place to myself.

My assignment 2 (contrast) is due in one week but I haven't decided which photo I want to use.

Here are a few of my photos:

[WARNING: images lose detail in scanner]

(tree trunk)

(lamp)

(my feet in some leaves)

(palm tree)

(my feet [again] in some greenery)

Film is fun.

:D

NEW WEBSITE!

With never before seen photos like this one:

Please let me know what you think, all honest opinions are welcome & appreciated.

Cute.

I LOVE these.

Of course they were taken by the lovely Peggy Sirota.

Satisfied.

Here is a continuation of my Merry [Part 2 of 3] blog post...

This is me.

Merry [Part 2 of 3]

These are my siblings.

I love them.

I decided to use my 'talent' and create gifts for my parents instead of buy them, since I am a poor college student.

And this is how they turned out.

I am very pleased.

I have yet to photograph myself. I have been procrastinating on that task because I am WAY more comfortable behind the camera rather than in front of it.

Anyways...

I can't sleep. I have the weirdest sleeping patterns when I don't have any classes to go to.

I seriously can't believe how lazy I have been lately.

And all I seem to want to do in eat.

Ugh :/

I am really trying to tame that beast but it much easier said than done.

I am really trying to be more active but it is never enough.

I am out of shape.

It kinda bums be out sometimes but I am still so over joyed that I am home and it is Christmas.

So it evens out.

:)

I am going to attempt to go to sleep.

Stay tuned, even more pictures to come

Ta ta for now.

Pee Ess - What do you think about California State University - Northridge?

Clever.

I couldn't wait post blog about this, so the picture is not even edited.

Brade's sister, Awna, cooked up this awesome plan to surprise Hannah and Brade. I was really glad to be apart of it. It was super cold out so we didn't get a lot of shots today (plus my brain was fried from math so it was hard to find inspiration) But I did get a few good shots. We are going to take some more head shots indoors really soon so stayed tuned!
