Days 63-69

This last week was another VERY busy week. I seem to have a lot of those lately. I have so much going on that I can't seem to take a picture each day, so I take a few minutes to edit one picture a day. 

Because I post them here once a week and not once a day, I find myself wanting to cheat a bit. I usually edit a chunk of pictures at a time at the beginning of the week, and I think "If I post all of these as one week, they'll never know." But I'm really trying hard to not do that. The whole point of the 365 is to test me and my photography and to help me improve. I can't improve if I cheat. Taking the short and easy route will only hurt me - and my photography.

In turn, that would hurt my career, because I really want to be a professional photographer. If I'm not good, I won't get jobs and no jobs = no money = broke Courtney = flipping burgers for the rest of my life = not having enough money for my own place = living off my parents until they die = no boyfriend ever.

Okay maybe it's not that bad, but you get my point.

My First Instameet

BEWARE: LOTS OF PICTURES
(like tons)

Many might be looking at the title of this post and think "what is an instameet?" I have already gotten that question quite a few times.

So, I shall explain.

Do you know what Instagram is?

Well, Instagram starts with "insta" and ends in "gram" (or "stagram"), if I need to point out the obvious. But really, many have gone overboard with (enter any word here)-gram. "Foodstagram", "onedirectionstagram", "edstagram", "swagstagram" . . . you name it, there is probably someone who's used it.

Next - photographers on Instagram.

People who take good quality pictures and likes photography and posts their photography on Instagram.

AKA an "Instagram Photographer".

Therefore, an "Instameet" is when a bunch of INSTAgram photographers MEET up to have photoshoots.

At least that's what it means on the photography side of Instagram.

I've been wanting to go to one ALL summer, but the only ones I've been able to be invited to (by a public open invitation) are out of state. Like the last one was on the other side of the US. I was really bummed.

Days 56-62

A busy week, I could not take a picture every day, but I edited at least one, so those count for the day I edited them. Some people may not do their 365 like that, but I consider it okay because of my very busy schedule that school just made worse.

Anyway, it is my 365, right? ;)
