You Brought a Camera to Walmart?

Person In Walmart

Hurry up! That's all I could remember thinking as I felt the car moving. I knew we were going somewhere to take pictures, whenever she sets me in the car that is normally what's happening. This time was different though, I remember hearing two voices instead of just her voice, alone, singing obnoxiously to Britney Spears. This was the unusual part. When we go to take pictures its usually just the two of us; the dynamic duo. 

I was excited to get where we were going partly because I could not wait to see what I was going to capture that day, but to put a face to that second voice. It took her forever to get me out of my camera bag, I about rolled myself off the seat to get her attention. Finally she picked me up out of the bag, FREEEEDDDOMMMM!

I immediately waited to catch a glimpse of this new person, at this point I was not even concerned about where we were going to be taking pictures. I had really hoped that this person was going to be photogenic...because after all, I was going to have to stare at them for a majority of the afternoon.  

There was good news and bad news that day. Oh, you want the good news first? Well, the mystery person was definitely photogenic. The bad news, she went to Walmart to take pictures!! Never in my lifetime...luckily the human I was capturing photos of knew how to strike a pose in the middle of the soup aisle. Although, I am still not sure why the soup was so funny.

Shutter In Chicago

Photo By: Calli Bicknese I LOVE THE TRAIN. Normally, when she takes me on the train that means we are going to Chicago! Unlike skitching ( see the story )...Chicago is definitely the right place for a camera like me. There are always so many things to look at. I just wish it wasn't so cold and windy there, my lens likes to fog up a lot. The train always lasts so long, and I am always super excited to get there. When we arrived in the city she took what felt like forever to get out of the station and outside where I knew we would finally be taking pictures. I was chilling out tucked inside of her jacket hoping she would take me out soon when her phone started ringing. After the conversation, it sounded like she was meeting someone somewhere. At that time I was wondering if that was the person we were going to take pictures of that day. I was prepared to take pictures of the scenery, I was unaware that I was going to be catching smiles. Finally we left the station and s

And Then...the Dog Licked My Lens

Photo By: Calli Bicknese To preface my story about the day this photo was taken - I most of the time do not have a problem with being around dogs. I will say though, that most of the time when I am around dogs I am in the safety of her hands taking photos way above where any of the dogs are able to get me. That day, well, that day was very different. She took me over to her friend's house to spend the day hanging out and taking photos, of course I was excited. Anytime we go out to take photos all day is a good time. When we arrived at her friend's house as we approached the door I heard the dogs start barking. I WAS SO EXCITED! I love taking photos of dogs, they are so cute and give the best photos. When the door opened I saw two right off the bat, they were larger dogs. As she entered the apartment I noticed there were two more dogs as well, but they were two smaller dogs. As I was hanging around her neck, she sat down on the couch and immediately the dogs came and cro
