I also downloaded an app for the iPhone that lets you make pictures into Polaroid-like images (not actually a Polaroid product)
And an app that acts like many different camera styles, so you can get cool, pop art pictures like this:
This is the original of that shot:
or a fish-eye lens view:
Uh oh, Clive the Pocket Lion [...]

We went out last night with our friends Andy and Jess and had such a great night. We went to Blue Corn Cafe, which is one of my favorite restaurants in Durham. After a great dinner, we then went to check out 3rd Friday Durham, where some galleries were open late, serving champagne and snacks. [...]

Have I mentioned that I love my iPhone? Love. And I really like that I have a camera on me at all times now — because as much as I love my beautiful, awesome, swoony Nikon D50, sometimes I don’t want to have a big camera with me. Having the built-in camera gives me a [...]

As I’m a mermaid girl who loves her some photography, I bought a reusable underwater camera for my honeymoon. I didn’t do that much diving, but I did go snorkeling with rays and turtles and nurse sharks — I even got to hold a 6′ long nurse shark!

Hubby and I needed a recharging weekend, he’s been very stressed at work, and I needed some relaxing, outdoor time.
I found Pilot Knob Inn, a charming B&B located about two hours away from home, out past Winston-Salem.
Before checking in, we went to Hanging Rock State Park, hiked up to the bouldering field and got to [...]

Tomorrow morning I turn 32. 31 was an amazing big huge life-event-filled year.
I started my year living with someone that at the time I considered a good friend, but I was living apart from my love, hating being apart. He flew down for my birthday weekend and we went out to Wilmington and Wrightsville beach [...]
