Welcome! So this is where I live…
This past weekend, my friend, Meagan, lent me her super fancy camera to play with. I’m planning to get a Canon Rebel of my own soon (my iPhone has replaced my Sony point-and-shoot, but it can only do so much). I haven’t done “real” photography since college (meaning Photography 101–take the lens cover off..) and that was film, not digital. I completely forgot what all the bells and whistles do! So, for practice, I took pictures of my apartment.
I wish I had done at the last place I lived in Oak Cliff—a beautiful 1920s apartment building on Bishop Avenue. Sadly, I only have a few iPhone pictures from my first night there with “The Office” playing on the tv. I’ve lived in my ode-to-Arts-and-Crafts Fort Worth apartment for 2 ½ years now, so there’s no time like the present! Even though, I’d like to put up drapes, I wish I had painted the walls when I first moved in, I hate the size of the kitchen (it’s too big, but not in a good way), my bedroom is BEIGE, etc.–I could go on and on, I’ll stop.
Technically, it’s a space I designed (other than the architecture, the wall colors, the cabinets, the layout…) so it needs to be documented and added to the portfolio!
