Kicking Up Sand & Soaking Up Sun

Well, we went to the beach a while back and I finally got around to proofing some pictures. I love how they turned out. I think I'm slowly discovering that I like bold, vibrant colors. And, of course, I had to add the token black and white photo (I love black and white). I can't wait to get my new camera and be able to photograph other people, too. I'm scared, but I think I'll also have a good time. The biggest worry I have right now is that perhaps I'm not really good enough to do this professionally. I keep freaking myself out by questioning over and over, "What if all the good pictures I've taken were just flukes? Maybe I just got lucky and I won't actually be able to take good pictures when I've only got a one hour session to produce them." Oh well, the only way I'll know is by trying. I like to think I've got what it takes to be a professional photographer, but then those other freaky thoughts squeeze their way in and I'm a nervous wreck again. Okay, enough about my inner photography struggles. Let's get back to the pictures of our cute little Bugga. :)

Hmmm...this is where better equipment would come in handy. A good flash could have handled those wicked shadows on his face nicely.

Taken just before he popped up and stuffed those two fistfuls of sand into his mouth for a nice snack. :)
