The Pumpkin Spice of Life

________I'm quite proud of myself right now. You see, all of the pictures above were taken using the manual function on my camera. Yesterday, I took a photography class and learned about the wonders of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other little camera tidbits that were once another language to me. I must say that it was quite helpful, and it's amazing that I can use the manual function now and not end up with a picture that's either pitch black, blurred a schizophrenic shade of green, or tinted a cold blue. They're not perfect, of course, but they will get there, I hope!

________That grilled chicken sandwich was my first successful manual shot; it is a sandwich of knowledge, a sandwich of power, and a sandwich that symbolizes sweet victory (and of course, tender deliciousness). That special sandwich has laid the foundation for all of my future photography sessions. The sandwich is what made me. It is what created me.

________Of course, all good things must end, and the sandwich did end because I was terribly hungry. Ah well-- it was nice while it lasted. I will never forget that sandwich. Now, I'm just going to have to work toward taking even better pictures with my camera, all while keeping Mr. Sandwich in mind.
