Camera Chronicles

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

Photo By: Calli Bicknese It was a quiet night....at home....no adventures. I wasn't sure how I felt about that. It was about half way through my night when my camera bag started to rustle. OH BOY, I thought to myself. Late night adventures are always so interesting, and I thought for sure that I was going to have one of those that night.

At that point I thought for sure I was going to drop and my lens was going to break, but when the bag tipped over I gently rolled out and landed right side up. I tried to see what was going on through my lens, but I was turned at an angle facing the wall so I could not see too much of what was going on. Then I

I was singing to myself so loudly when I soon realized that we actually were going to be on the road again. My camera bag rustled and I knew immediately that we were about to set on another adventure. I remember being alarmed at first because she took me out of the bag before we even left the house - it was one of THOSE adventures. Those adventures are my favorite because I am able to snap pictures of the entire adventure instead of being trapped in a stupid bag for most of it. So there I was, in the car headed to the mystery destination once again. It had been awhile since I had been in the car without my camera bag covering my lens. She had my lens tilted at the right angle to catch all the trees and buildings that passed as we drove. I remember that was the first time that I had experienced what humans call "being car sick". My circuits seemed all out of whack the
