Exotic Red

Hi folks how you've been?
I've been buried on my own homework since...well since last year's September when I signed up to College! All the time doing school works instead of sleeping, so much that I don't even bother to count the days I've spent like this!

I mean, days happens like this but it worths the effort, cos there are lots of interesting and cool things about my classes at school that I wouldn't chance for anything. So I'm aware that when I decided to get to study Graphic Design, this was one of the best decisions of my life! ^^
But there are some times when I feel like I'd love to have a bit of free time for myself, cos there are lots of things that have happened in my life and too fast, and I don't have time to talk about them.  So today I was thinking of what to talk first, because I only have the time for one thing, since I have homework. So at the end I decided to pick up one of the things I wanna talk about the most, and share a bit of my everyday life with you.

I think one of the most amazing news I've got this month, it's that finally I've got my new camera for my photography class this schoolar cycle, in my case in mexico we call it "cuatrimestre" cos it's a cycle of 4 months. 
The first 3 weeks everythig was "theoric", we did some very interesting stuff though, we investigated a few photographers the teacher wanted us to search info about, and then me and my classmates brought what we searched to the classroom and we talked photography story and cameras. 

But what was worrying me at those weeks,  was the fact that I had not my camera yet, and since the classes have started, I felt a lot of frustration cos I lost the first practice in the classroom with the camera. Since meanwhile everybody were practicing, I was doing nothing and none of my classmates wanted to borrow me their cameras. Of course, I wasn't the only one who haven't been able to get a camera....but still, I felt too embarassed *chuckles blushes*

So, yeah, these weeks passed. And last Thrusday of this week that just passed, I was at school trying to find someone who also was studying the same career, to see if they could borrow me a camera, and I was hopeless because I wasn't able to anybody ! Then I called my brother to pick me up from school,  because I was tired to running from a place to another literally BEGGING FOR SOMEONE WHO LET ME TO US THEIR CAMERA TO DO MY HOMEWORK!! *pulls off hair* 

Then my brother said that mom said I'd come with him to a pawnshop so we could pawn the little jewelry that my mom had in the family from a long time, in order to get some money and with it to buy the type of camera I needed for my class. So we went then do that, then to the electronics store (in this case it's called Coppel) and gave the initial payment for a credit we got, and that's how I got my first reflex camera!
Wow...it was a lot easier to talk about this than I thought, heheh, I thought it was going to be a long boring story but it wasn't...of course I omited lots of details, because it not then it would have been a boring story!

I know  "I put the rope in my own neck" (as we say in Mexico) when I decided to buy this camera, because the interest for the credit it's over the sky!...but I know it's all worth the effort, cos finally I was able to do my homework this last friday, and just will say; let the photos talk for themselves!

Like this one for example, I took it in the school last friday when I was taking photos with two of my classmates who wanted to take photos together.
I took a photo of this plant because it called my attention a lot the stuff that looked like fruit there, because of the texture of it. I loved the texture it feels cool to touch it! :3 Also the flowers look pretty It's funny I never really noticed that plant there until I was looking for subjects to photograph And the title it's cos this is an unusual plant, one I haven't seen before this one.

So, this is just a sample of my photoshoot at school this friday, cos I have a bit of time to post it today, but what this beauty can do...Oh boy! OH BOY! It's something immeasurable! It's a Canon T5 and luckily for me, it included a 55mm lent. I couldn't get a macro lents because it's quite
expensive, but I think what I have now it's all a passionate of photography who has their first time with a reflex camera, would ever need!
It's my first time with a refelx....I always dreamed with having one of these...I've spent almost a lifetime reading about cameras of this kind and camera lents and all that stuff in other photographer's works here...And now I HAVE ONE!
So my joy for this is...Oh my!...I can't express it with words...cos I feel all I'd say would become an euphemism *chuckles*

It's funny, when I brought it home that night, my sister commented "why you get too excited for this, it's just a camera!" But...what I can't say? I who know about photography, I know what this means, and just I can't help being a passionate about photography
