Blog Addict

I am not above admitting when I have a problem. I am a photography blog addict. Yes, I said it. And admitting it is the first step, right? And even though the manual function of my camera still eludes me, I have now convinced myself that I could be a master photographer. Yes- I could do the composition, the color, the photo-editing (if I actually had the $700 software), and gosh darn it, I just have the overall "eye" for it. Then, I gently and with great sadness remind myself that I don't actually understand manual shooting, I don't actually take many photographs, and I probably don't actually have the eye for it. But I can still dream of my career as an internationally known photographer.

Anyway, of all the blogs I follow, the one I am most infatuated with currently is http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/. She is fabulous for many reasons. She is an amazing photographer (and gives lots of great tips I can use once my photography career takes off), a damn funny woman, a wonderful chef (I made her recipe for sweet potato casserole for a girls dinner last night and, although it was a pain to make, it was deeelish), and she actually homeschools her kids (which I would never do, but I guess when you live on a cattle ranch, it somehow makes sense). So if you are like me and looking for a distraction from time to time, check her out or subscribe to her various feeds. But I caution you, you may get hooked. In a bad way.
