Life Through the Lens

{Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg, Austria}

As I refine my blogging one skill at a time, I've decided to make 2013 the year of the photograph. They say a picture's worth a thousand words, so I want my pictures to be made up of a thousand rich, vibrant, crisp, beautiful words. Whatever this requires--may it be Pinterest tutorials or possibly a a series of courses as Christmas gift--I think after four years, BOD deserves a white balance, ISO, shutter speed knowledgable author, don't you? In celebration of this mission, I'm sharing twenty of my favorite photographs I've taken to date, complete with cheesy titles as if I'm some gallery owner. Play along with me, please!

I think this goal is something we will all benefit from. And it's suitably timed, as I hope to be equipped with proper photog skills before I venture to study in Europe!
