I have a problem

I might have more than one problem. I was checking my latest post and it seems like I decided I was going to take more photos of everything and I didn’t. That was in February and now we are in mid July. Thankfully a year didn’t pass before I noticed. I was just going to write on my blog about this new goal I have and boom, didn’t even finished the other one. I guess I could do both, since both include photography.

This is the new goal, cook one new recipe everyday until I finish all the recipes of the books I just bought. I have a huge problem. I love buying big beautiful looking cooking books and I dream about cooking and making something yummy, but then I start reading the recipes and they seem so hard to do and I never do them. I should cook with David, he loves cooking and this could be a good way of making our relationship stronger since we are not doing so well. A new baby and a husband later and the person I dedicated all my time suddenly became someone I knew didn’t needed all my attention and left him on the side.

So back to the cooking goal, I would be taking photos of the process and the cooking and the fun or stressful time we will have and will be doing both of the goals I had, taking lifestyle photos and cooking. Win, win.

These are the books I have bought so far. Let me know what you think and which one I should start with. Should I do it in order or choose a random recipe everyday? Leave your comments. The other thing I was thinking about is if I should do my blog in Spanish or in English. I only read in English, so this has helped my write better in English, but my native language is Spanish, I live in a Spanish Speaking country, Guatemala. This should all point out to me writing in Spanish, but half of my friends and family only speak English. Maybe I should do it in both languages, tell me what do you think on the comments. Leave you the images of the book and please don’t recommend new ones, I would probably go buy them and need to first finish the ones I have.


Simplicity

I had forgotten what it was like to shoot with my 50mm 1.8. I used to shoot with it all the time before I got my 24-70mm 2.8. The 24-70 made me forget about my 50 and never used it again. Plus it was my fist lens and was not working very well anymore. This month the 24-70 stoped working so I was forced to buy a new 50mm since is the cheapest lens but the best at getting any kind of image. I just love it.

I am getting a bit technical with boring photography specs.

So back to the mail topic I want to start taking photos again of everything, lifestyle and just plain truth of everyday life, messy, beautiful and just bare.
