New Year, New Ventures

I'm so excited about my new Lumix camera that arrived on Sunday (from Santa, of course). I spent some time this morning with my mom tinkering with the settings and testing out the features. I'm looking forward to finally learning how to really understand the basics of photography (and stop relying 100% on my iPhone) If anyone has any recommendations for blogs about photography basics, let me know!

I've just been doodling away in my new Bookmarc notebook, courtesy of Tiane. It contains lots of lists, espsecially for places I'd like to visit while I'm in Chicago next month. Let me know of your Chicago must-sees!
