A Corn Farmer in Colorado

I have been thinking a lot about publishing lately. Although, the stuff I want to publish is a little different. I would love to publish some of my photos. For the past few years I have owned a digital camera and I absolutely love it!! My first camera was a little web cam and mini digital camera – an Intel. After about a year or so with that camera, after I did about all I could possibly do with it, I got a new camera. Still digital but way better. This time I got a Canon Powershot A40. It was wonderful for me. I shot about everything and anything when I first got it. That is the glory of digital cameras! It does not matter how many pictures you shoot because you can just delete the ones you don’t like. (One of the reasons I got a digital camera in the first place was because when I was younger, I would use a “real” camera and use up all the film on stupid stuff, thus wasting film and money on developing.) Well, anyway I used that camera to its full capacity also. It took 45 sec little movies too which was also great for me. About a year (maybe two) after I got that camera I got a Powershot A70. Once again, a wonderful camera. I will have had the A70 for a year next April. My mom has my old camera now. The new camera can take up to three minute movies and had all kinds of neat little settings for pictures. I would suggest a Canon digital camera to anyone who needed an easy but wonderful camera for their photo needs.
Ok, now I will get back to my publishing idea. For the past year I have been getting really good at taking cool pictures. Not only that but I bring them into Photoshop and edit them however I want. With the real good ones I usually don’t have to edit them but it’s always there if I need to. When I was home in October I helped my dad and brother pick up pipe and I am really thankful I did. I happened to have my camera along and when the guys were putting the pipe away, I took some pictures around my grandma’s farm. I ended up liking them so much that I printed them off at Walgreens, Walmart and Sam’s Club. They turned out so neat!! I later put them all in a frame and gave them to my grandma Kuehn as a Christmas gift. They were a big hit! My mom loved them so much that she had me also go to my other grandparent’s farm and take pictures around there. Another big hit. My other Christmas gift this past Christmas was a close up of my grandpa Kuehn’s shop door. It is red so it looks like a barn but it is so cool. In the upper part of it you can see a little fly which is kind of funny since I wasn’t aiming for him at all. I ended up giving the framed in brown barn wood picture to my brother who has a red room in his house.
