Experimenting: Soupy Pies and Shutter Speeds

July 5, 2014

Well, here we are. The first blog post. I’m going to try and keep the text to a minimum on this, so here are some 4th of July pics from yesterday cuz ‘Merica.

Thanks to a few friends, I now have a mediocre grip on the basics of my camera, but keep in mind that I still understand so very little about it. So no judgements, plz.

Ice cream pie with granola crust and homemade blueberry and raspberry sauce. Recipe here.

I didn’t read that this was supposed to set for at least three hours until about 20 minutes before we were supposed to leave, hence the soupy texture.

National Parks (April 2016)

I’ve lived in Utah for almost seven years and, until this past April, had never visited any of the state’s national parks. So, Ben and I changed that over the course of two weekends by visiting both Zion (not “Zion’s” or “Zions.” Locals will roll their eyes at you if you say either.) and Arches.

Magical Morocco

Guys, this is a long one. But this trip was one of the highlights of my traveling life and unlike any place I’ve been to before, so I’m not about to skimp on pictures or words. It was my (and Ben’s) first time in an Islamic country, too, so it was extra unique and interesting…
