Ahh!

So, I just want to yell out.  A little of it is frustration, a little anticipation, a little anxiety, and a little being overwhelmed.  But there's a lot of excitement!  We had a celebration meeting on Sunday, then a photo team training on Tuesday, and tonight was our end of the month communion and worship service at church.  I've been at church a lot this week, but it's been good.

At the celebration service they revealed our shirts.  They rock!  They are super meaningful and I think they will spark conversation.  One says "Where is your heart?" another says " Love, I'll take all I can get", and another says "Listen. It takes more than your ears"  Hopefully that wasn't a secret.  If it was, you heard it here first!

Anyway, I was feeling a little overwhelmed last night at the photo team training.  Did I mention I know nearly nothing about taking photographs?  We learned about setting up the backdrop, lighting, etc.  Lots of terms were mentioned that I don't know and lots of camera settings that I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have.  I was frustrated because I really would like to learn how to capture beautiful things with my camera.  During my last trip to Disney World my perspective on photography changed.  I used to take pictures to remember things.  So all that mattered what that I took a picture of whatever it was and that picture would spark a memory.  Now I want to take a picture in order to capture beauty, not a memory. That's harder to me.I think that's why I'm frustrated.  I want so badly to take good pictures, but I don't know how. Hopefully, I'll get some lessons from the photographers on the trip.  I've been assured that I'll be just fine.

I know I'm getting stuck on something unimportant.  Human nature I suppose.

On the flip side, I'm getting more excited about the project!  Hopefully I'll get to be some sort of runner/assistant.  That way I'll get to interact with the people, which I love to do.  I'll do whatever they ask me to though.  More to come!
