To start things off, I have a new photography blog - Diverse Reflections Photography.
In the months before my last post, I'd noticed The Godly Photographer had slowly grown from the first tiny posts with no more than a captioned photo into longer posts that weren't limited to photography. I've become a Tyndale House book reviewer, Compassion International blogger, and storyteller on this blog. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to take my photography to a new level, and in order to do that, I felt the need to create a new blog solely for photography, Diverse Reflections.
However, I found that I missed having a blog where I could share my thoughts and review books and just write about whatever without worrying if it sounded professional. It's kinda nice having a place to write freely, you know?
So, have no fear, I will (hopefully) continue writing on this blog while still building up Diverse Reflections. But, I probably won't have quite as many photos posted here, so check out Diverse Reflections for my really good shots. :)
Also, I have a little sister! As some of you may know, it's been a long, long time since there's been a baby girl in our house (and there have been lots of baby boys), but the wait is finally over! Azzy and I just shared a birthday...did I mention she was born on my birthday?...and we're preparing for a Birthday Girls photoshoot. I've already planned out our future birthdays (i.e., making the waiters at restaurant sing Happy Birthday twice, and give us two separate desserts - we can share one, and the family can share another ;) ). Ooh, it's so surreal having a little girl in the house!!!
And we've moved...again. We move a lot. I've gotten (sort of) used to living where we are, but there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of the best friend I had to leave. Paprika, you are awesome! ;) ♥♥♥
In the months since we've moved, I've joined a fun group at Starbucks where Deaf people meet (I'm super interested in Deaf Culture, and hope to become a Deaf Interpreter). I'm excited about where this will take me. I've also volunteered at a Deaf children's camp, and have met a few interpreters who have given me advice for when I go on to College for interpreting.
Oh! I'm now on Instagram! Check out my account @megan_diversereflectionsphoto for my photography and art.
Speaking of art...Even though drawing has always been a hobby of mine (I drew lots of simple paper dolls when I was 8 years old), in the last two years my art style has changed a lot! I switched from Manga to realistic portraits. Let me tell you, my portraits weren't very realistic two years ago! They looked more like Picasso had decided to keep the oversized features and place them in the correct position on the face! Yeah, that bad. But, about 5 months ago, I finished a portrait that is my personal best to date. And now I've started a new portrait montage of Angel from X-Men: The Last Stand, which I hope to finish in time for the County Fair. Once I'm finished, I'll post a photo of the drawing here on the blog for you all to see.
I guess that's about it. I'm thankful for all my great readers who have kept following me all this time. Thank you very much, everyone! And happy 2016!
