Soul Deep

Hike 05.19.2015

This woman is me:
"Modern society has achieved an almost total divorce from the production of one's own food. An abiding affinity for sentient beings which you fully intend to murder, dissect, and ingest, seems horrifying to present-day sensibilities, which have divided the domestic animal world into cherished pets and plastic-wrapped boneless chicken breasts. But this horror is a luxury, based on the assumption that as long as we put enough distance between ourselves and how our food comes to us, any suffering inflicted can safely be ignored. And, it presupposes that eating someone is the worst thing that one can do to them. The first is obviously not true, the second is surprisingly ambiguous." - From the author of the Working Dog Diary, Chapter 9.

"I couldn't imagine a more fulfilling life than living in an Airstream with my dog, spending every day doing nothing but hanging out with ruminants.

Apparently this dream isn't shared by very many people in the United States.

New Addition!

Hello friends,

Well, I won't beat around the bush too much...


Isn't it wonderful!?

It's a Nikon D3200, and I am totally in love. It went on sale on Amazon, and I had enough saved up just for it. It was even on special and came with a 32GB memory card, and a case too.

This is the first photo I took.

This is one of the first pictures I took; and even though it's slightly blurry, I love it.


Guys, I never knew how amazing DSLRs are! I always thought it was my lack of skill behind the camera, but I know now that no matter how wonderful my little Canon Powershot is, it just doesn't have the same level of control.

I tried landscapes...

...and some action shots!

I attempted the macro setting...

...and portrait too!

I love, love, love this camera already, and I have so much to learn!

Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture a day last week, so I won't link up with Natasha. BUT I will next time around! In the mean time, go check out what she and everyone who linked up did this past week!

Until next time,
