non-automatic

It's hard for me to find inspiration outside of my children, or my subjects but I suppose that's because it's my comfort zone. I did however make it out to the nature center to play around with my settings. I also went to Navy Pier and took a few shots. These are my favorites.

my favorite photo

Intro Paragraph:

I'm Drea, and I'm a social work major. I took time off of school to stay home with my kids, so while I should have completed my degree a couple of years ago, I'm just returning to school. My interest in photography has been a slow and limited process. I worked for Sears Portrait Studio for 3 years, and in that time photography became a possible hobby to a complete passion. For the past year I have worked freelance. My overall knowledge of cameras/setting/creative and artistic photography is pretty limited which is why I'm taking this course.

The picture above is of my daughter, and I shot this a few weeks ago while we were flying kites in Greenfield Park. I understand that photos themselves are not memories, but rather remind us of them which is why this photo is my favorite.
