Just do it

Taking pictures is so fun! Seriously, nothing is better than going out and trying to get the right photograph. Well, I guess the only thing better is going out trying to get a great picture with the one you love, who is also trying to get the right picture.

Me and my girlfriend have been going on these "photography dates," where we go around towns, farms, and nature preserves taking pictures. It has given us something very constructive and fulfilling to do while on a date.

We both took intro to digital photography classes last semester, and these dates have kind of been the results. We gone around Davis, Sacramento, old town Franklin, Lake Berryessa, the Sacramento Delta, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Monterrey so far in our trips.

It really makes a huge difference to have someone with you working through the same challenges that come with photography, like getting out and taking pictures. Having someone with you makes you get out and just do it.
