(I won contests in first grade with the best story about a troll living in the woods; life altering, if I do say so myself. Haha.) I continued writing throughout high school and ended up funding most of my college career with scholarships through journalism. I've also always loved using a camera; but, my old professional camera was a bit outdated compared to the new digital cameras, and I put it away for a (not-so-great) quick shot digital Canon.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, as an undergraduate, I discovered my other passion - law. I then made that my career path, and let my love of writing and photography dwindle. I recently picked up writing and have been doing freelance work on the side; and, much to my surprise, my mom gave me a wonderful DSLR camera for Christmas. So, while somehow balancing work, a new husband, preparing for the LSAT, and law school applications, I have decided to not let my love of writing and photography go down the drain, again. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;That is where my blog comes in; I hope to continue photography and writing to possibly turn it in to more than a hobby during my first year of law school as professors highly discourage you from holding a full-time job. Basically, my blog will journey this adventure in my life over the next year and a half until I can (hopefully) begin law school in the fall of 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are a few pictures I've taken over the past couple of years with my cruddy digital camera, may it rest in piece as soon as I finish my DSLR manual this weekend. (None of these are re-touched in any way as I did not have a program until recently; I'll go in and brighten some colors and remove arms in some of them as soon as I get some spare time. For now, they're just for fun.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_rE8CdE-I/AAAAAAAAABk/kOZ9RY_SUZ8/s1600-h/j1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_rE8CdE-I/AAAAAAAAABk/kOZ9RY_SUZ8/s320/j1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291706557252047842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_qrZ-fYmI/AAAAAAAAABU/hXykS7Pxszc/s1600-h/hands6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_qrZ-fYmI/AAAAAAAAABU/hXykS7Pxszc/s320/hands6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291706118611886690" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_qg9IAt2I/AAAAAAAAABM/VllmXYjUgyU/s1600-h/aqu6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_qg9IAt2I/AAAAAAAAABM/VllmXYjUgyU/s320/aqu6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291705939068499810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_qBsPLl1I/AAAAAAAAABE/DDIm3Hb8Ioo/s1600-h/z3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_qBsPLl1I/AAAAAAAAABE/DDIm3Hb8Ioo/s320/z3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291705401959225170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_oSv8ixkI/AAAAAAAAAAU/pkw7VjZqhcQ/s1600-h/h6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_oSv8ixkI/AAAAAAAAAAU/pkw7VjZqhcQ/s320/h6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291703495989315138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3240180603289990966-1355118334127653683?l=heathercarmella.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heathercarmella.blogspot.com/feeds/1355118334127653683/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heathercarmella.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-adventure.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3240180603289990966/posts/default/1355118334127653683'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3240180603289990966/posts/default/1355118334127653683'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heathercarmella.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-adventure.html' title='A New Adventure'/><author><name>HeatherCarmella</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00224586545729310772</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UXsuxGomYhM/SW_rE8CdE-I/AAAAAAAAABk/kOZ9RY_SUZ8/s72-c/j1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
