Some green leaves with white spots at the mall. I used a flash on this and added contrast afterwards. I do not know the name of this plant.

I thought this was funny — a grocery store using a watermelon box to sell oranges.

Photo of the Golden Gate bridge from my visit in June 2011. It got very foggy on our walk back, so the tops of the towers were hazy.

September 17, 2011 Update

Hello, I haven’t posted here in a long time.

I got back from California 2 months early since I didn’t like it out there, though it was nice to see my mom, sister, and their family.

I got a job working as a secretary for a masonry company, which is pretty interesting. I did receive my A.A. degree in early June.

I haven’t taken many pictures in the past few months, but I still have all my photography equipment so I may start again soon.

I’ve been practicing the piano a little. I will probably copy the more important content on my websites to wordpress.com or somewhere else over the next few months since I’m not going to renew my web hosting.

I became a Mormon while in California, and transferred to Daytona so I’ve been attending church here.

I am going to start using my deviantart account again when I get back into photography.

Thanks for reading.
