New Kitten!

This is our new kitten! He is 8 weeks old.
He haven't been able to pick a name for him.
my family is split between Mac & Leo.
I want to name him Mac after the character on Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
What do you guys think??
He is very energetic and very hard to keep him still to take a photo of him.

The kitten with our dog Zooey. Zooey is afraid of cats b/c our other cat Ed used to beat her up when she was a puppy. So Zooey was scared of the kitten at first but is now starting to like him more!
Mac is defiantly not scared of Zooey though, he is always trying to play with her. But Mac hasn't had any luck with our other cat Ed who is 12 years old. Ed hisses, growls, and bats at Mac....Ed's a grumpy old man.
Mac taken a nap on our couch.
I love these photos!
Thanks for viewing!!

Canon AE-1 film project


I recently bought a 1978 Canon AE-1 35mm film camera and a 50mm f/1.8 lens on ebay for around $60. The camera works just fine, so I have been shooting with it a lot. I have shot with medium format film before but never 35mm. It's been a lot of fun, shooting with film really makes you take your time and think about of what & why you are taking a photo. It feels so weird to be shooting with a camera that is 8 years older than me! It is fully manual, no auto setting...all it has a is a light meter. It's amazing how spoiled we all are with our digital camera these days, we get to take as many photos as we want and see them instantly. We are used to having scene modes, fully auto settings, and most people would have no idea how to use a film camera. I think it's a great way for people to learn/practice/get better at photography because it makes you take the photo, you have to pick the aperture and shutter speed. When I switch back to my Canon 5D2 it feels like I'm using rocket science technology!!
But overall I have really enjoyed shooting with this camera and have liked the images it was produced. These photo barely have any editing done to them...just some color adjustments.

let me know what you guys think!!
