It's raining, it's pouring…

Well, today was our first full day! We learned a lot about which buttons do what, and all of the other complicated functions necessary to capture good photos.

We braved a downpour for our first photo shoot in downtown Dallas. Everyone was soaking wet, but we made the best of it.

After our photo shoot we came back, dried off, and learned even more about photography! It was an extremely long day, but it had its exciting moments. When dinner was finished, we got our photos back from the lab. We were then split into groups to have our pictures critiqued by an instructor. The most interesting part of the evening came when, as a group, we viewed our photos taken in each of these categories: 1) Patriotic, 2) Urban, and 3) Favorite.

It was amazing to see how diverse each of the photos were, even though some of us took photos of the same object. God has created each one with such unique and creative eyes.

Although this entry may seem dull and not super exciting, nothing is boring over here! I have enjoyed getting to know everyone, and the instructors are so patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable!

Please pray that the rain will go away for the entire time that we are here. It was fun playing in the rain, but once was sufficient for me!

God is so good… all the time!
