Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody...


Blog Post: Week of December 3rd
Photo # 8

I don't even know what that photo is ugh. She's a pretty dolly, though.

This week, I went to the Kensington Antique Open House! My mom bought me antique Kintama! They're gorgeous. Other than that, I didn't get much. I, of course, found a lot of vintage clothing that I wish I could have; but alas, no money in the bank for such things.

I took a few photos while there (as the one above); however, my camera's white balance has been screwing up. For some reason, the auto white balance makes every shot too cool toned, and attempting to manually set the white balance is way too time consuming to change every time the lighting changes (especially as I entered at least 8 different shoppes last night). As a result, all of my photos look a bit off, though I did try to edit them a bit.

An update from last week's post: I ended up getting the 50mm! I'm quite excited- it is, after all, my sister's favorite lens.

I am sorry this post is so short. I have done truly nothing this week. Nothing of importance. And no event has attracted my attention. I've been admiring Cecil Beaton, of late. That is all.

I identify myself as a foodie.


Blog Post: Suggestion for Documentary
Photo # 7

One of my passions is baking and it is important to be passionate about the topic of our documentaries. One of my ideas for the documentary is to follow an executive chef or baker and their daily life at their business. It could be a profile documentary or one similar to Life in a Day (2011). My mother teaches a student whose family owns a great bakery in Bethesda; my mother also teaches a girl whose father owns the Burger Joint, which I love. I would love to follow them and interview their employees. Through the documentary, I would like to show how food brings community and family together.

I just really love food and I think I would really enjoy making a documentary centered around something to do with food. It may not be the most moving documentary, but who doesn't love food?
