the outhouse

So today I was driving around after I had gotten the oil changed and brakes fixed on the car. What the HECK Kwik Lube!!! Seriously?? $500 dollars for some brakes? No thank you!!
Anyway, I went to enjoy some solitude. By that, I meant me and a camera. I found this out house and realized how good I have it!! Not that anyone still uses that thing, but just the thought of someone still using it made me so gracious and thankful for something I take for granted every single day, and that is a Septic System!(which I use a lot more than anyone ever should)
But back to the realization of how blessed I am, Unreal how much the little things in my life are looked over EVERY DAY!! I'm so glad I had some time with a camera today, it totally changes how you look at things. Just in case anyone was wondering: I took this picture at 1200/f8 . Oh yeah... there's some camera talk for ya!

This post is very special to me. This picture was taken when I was with my father in law Jessie Simon. It was kind of our first bonding moment kind of thing. We started the day just looking to find some cool places to take some pictures because he is teaching me some good stuff about photography. We drove around for a LONG time, had to make some much needed stops for a variety of reasons. We were in the north side of Fort Worth, and he decided to take me to Riscky's Barbeque. As we were walking out of this historic place, this old abandoned theater had caught my eye. We immediately drove over to this AMAZING place and we started taking pictures. If I could brag on myself in one moment, it would be about this picture. I got the good one!!
To say the least, the day this picture was taken will go down in my memory as a cherished moment with a really cool man. I love you Jess, and thank you for being an incredible encouragement. Oh, and for letting me marry your daughter! I LOVE YOU!

So this is my first attempt at this photography thing. I've had an AMAZING teacher and mentor in my father-in-law and sister-in-law. Hopefully this is just the beginning. I LOVE THIS STUFF. There will definitely be more to come from what I am calling "josh's 1st try".
