Various Photos Of Mine

This is water I caught falling from a little
waterfall at a flower shop.

Hi group, I said I'd show you some of my photography pictures. So I will.

I took this at my summer camp. My teacher told us
to  use exposure, and so I tried. This was the result.
Makes me feel happy that I can capture images
such as a bright rose. 

This is my eye. I took the picture by putting the camera right under
my bottom lashes and snapping it. It's kind of cool in a creepy
sort of way. Like the beginning to an adventure movie.

The black  background is actually a
chair. I had to prop of the flower just right
to make it seem like I edited it and made it
so that the background could look as black as
I wanted it to look.  

I LOVE THIS PHOTO! I can see every part of the butterfly.
And it makes me happy. Does anyone know what kind
of Butterfly it is?

This was nearly impossible to take.
The background is leaves, that I again had to use
exposure to blacken.

Here's that same butterfly. 

Neighbors With An Alligator

Jealous anyone?

Hello folks,
I'm back, and better then ever. So in this post I'm going to be talking about my
Beautiful Enthusiastic Amazing Cool Happy vacation!
Also known as THE BEACH VACATION.
I had a lot fun, except for the moments where I went underwater for a long period of time and my eyes stung.
My fault by the way... I wasn't acting very smart. I won't go into details, but my cousin Eva and I went out a little deeper then we were suppose to ( On accident of course)
and couldn't touch. Out there, were the HUGE waves.
Not saying I was freaking out or anything... Ok ok! I was a little bit!
There was a big wave and the only way Eva and I could get out of it, was by swimming, which also meant sacrificing are breathing for like ten seconds! Alas, we saved ourselves with our death-defying skills (that, and the fact the wave got smaller when it came over to us was also helpful.)
That's a little more dramatic then it actually was by the way, but still! It was scary at the time, but now I'm just like " Wow! That was awesome!" Eva and I had a buddy system, because we weren't allowed to go into the deep water alone. We stuck together, except for one time while we were sitting and the tide pulled us apart. I had to run to rescue her... but that's a story for another time(:

Next, I want to tell you about my neighbor Patrick, who was an alligator. We had a lake in are backyard and ever so often, we saw Patrick swimming close to our deck! It was super cool! And at the same time a little scary. "Ahh! My neighbor is an Alligator!"
So... yeah, mixed feelings.

Meet Patrick, great animal, good with kids

Then there was the horrible hurricane, Hurricane Micheal! We had to leave a day early to escape it! It was hard to leave early, but when I saw how hard it rained the next day, back in Charlotte, I was glad not to be on the coast anymore.

The vacation was so fun! My mom loved taking pictures of me when I wasn't looking. When I saw them, I remembered how beautiful the ocean is, but also noticed how windblown my hair was, no seriously... the wind was so crazy it felt like the sand was stinging my legs. Sometimes, it was hard to see.
Family trips are always fun, am I right?

This is my model shot.

My family, best part of the trip

Sometimes I wonder why I was itching my head in the middle of a big wave.
Can anyone tell me? 

Closer then two peas in a pod

Two peas in  a pod

I've decided to do a post on why I love my cousin. Eva is an inspiration to all. 

No matter what she does, she always gives off that " Oh wow that girl's so cool" vibe. 

Or maybe the " World's best cousin" vibe. 

Anyways, what I' trying to say is we're 

pretty close to each other. 

Ever since we were little, she's been there for me. We take a writing class together and

it's pretty fun. We sometimes act out eachother's

stories while the other reads aloud to the class, to enhance the performance.

does anyone else think Eva's style is out of this word!?

My cousin Eva and I have always been super close. No matter what, even after fights we still hold hands. We still smile at each other, and still comfort each other when one of us is sad.  We have a special relationship. She's so unique, and the best cousin ever." Like I said, we get into fights sometimes, but does that really matter? We're still blood related, no matter what. Even if we try to stay mad at each other, we can't. it's impossible to stay irritated at Eva. She's cute, amazing, and pretty darn smart. We're absolutely going to do something amazing in the future. She inspires me!

She likes to work on singing with my sister. I love to hear them sing together. 

Cousin Eva is perfection. I feel like a million bucks when I’m around her. 

Love you EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We found these yummy foods together at a restaurant, Score!

Sweet! Mama snuck up on us and took a picture!
Best mother ever!

Yummy! Chick Fil A!

Cute! 

Gagging In Sync

Brave Cousin Eva

I went to a Mexican Buffet the other day. My cousin Eva and I got bored, so an intense game of Truth And Dare broke out.

Rice pudding was our first choice. It tasted like chewy sugar with a watery liquid on top. We decided to keep looking for something even worse, to thicken the plot. We found what looked like sticky noodles coated in a gooey mess. 

We each took a scoop. That was a mistake. When we both smelled it, Eva said, "Ah! it's cream cheese!" We both HATE cream cheese! We weren't brave    enough to try it, and I mean who would be? It's cream cheese noodles    for goodness sake! And how is that even Mexican? 

Finally, Eva picked up a single, diced tomato with her fork and lifted it to her mouth nervously. She looked at me as if saying " I'm gonna vomit." I brought a noodle to my mouth too (Bleh!) and we held like that for some time.

Then, mustering up as much courage as we could, and together took a bite. For a second, we sat stunned, looking at each other with wide eyes, and then began to gag, in sync. I could feel the throw-up inching up my throat. I had to shove it back down so I wouldn't puke all over everything. That would have been really embarrassing. I could already hear my mom saying,  "Hey waiter, my kid just vomited all over the table. Would you be a dear and mind getting a towel and cleaning up this mess? Sorry, she just isn't careful with what she eats sometimes. Is that a noodle?" I didn't want that to happen so with much effort, Eva and I spit out the noodle poison, and then spit out the spit that it had corrupted. 

We had to eat Jello to get the taste out of our mouths. It didn't really work for me though. That taste would not leave my poor mouth. Those cream cheese noodles with forever haunt me, FOREVER I'm telling you! It was the grossest thing! We learned our lesson, a very valuable lesson indeed, "If you see or smell Mexican cream cheese noodles, avoid immediately, and you won't be stuck with the taste forever." 

One Interesting Kind Of Mushroom

I saw this mushroom today while I was in my grandma's yard. If you look closely you'll see there's some tiny dots erupting throughout it. I take a Home Economics class with my grandma, so while my mom and grandma were talking, I was snapping pictures of this odd mushroom. I'm making aprons in Home EC. I stink at the sewing machine but I'm really glad I'm learning how to use it.

We go over there every Wednesday and it’s super fun.
The mushroom looks like a soup bowl, don't you think?
I mean seriously, I could eat Clam Chowder out of it.
I don't eat Clam chowder... why did I say that?
Scratch that, I could eat Chicken noodle soup out of it.
Oh, and speaking of chicken noodle soup, let me give you a piece of advice.  When opening the can,  don't look at it.😆

 It looks like a buttered up-wooden stick, that was diagnosed with frog-egg disease.
Anyways, back to the soup bowl... I mean mushroom!
I just liked it because it was unique and cool looking.
So yeah, who knew, I like Mushrooms ☺️

Introduction To Me

Hey guys,  My name is Aliyah.  I'm so ecstatic that I get to do this with you.
So let's get started.
I like photography because it captures moments that you might not get again, and I'm excited that you are going to see some of my captured moments on this blog.  I've only taken one class, but my friends mom is a photographer, so I know a few things from watching. The more I practice, the better I'll get. I'm going to let you tell me what you think about them. Sometimes I get into a daze while thinking and forget to answer someone's question, because I love to think. It's fun and makes me happy when I come up with ideas that can make someone's day.  I am also in a habit of writing fictional stories. I'm not really sure why I like it so much. It just makes me happy when I look over my handiwork and see the little characters, from my imagination, coming to life.  I'm hoping that you will enjoy this blog, my photography and my ideas, as we take an adventure through life together. Let's have fun!

Hi, My name is Aliyah
