Photo Thursday

Published: Mar 27, 2014 · Modified: Dec 22, 2014 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Well I had a great post planned for today, but it will have to go up next week or maybe later today. I am really sad about it too! So I really have nothing planned for today otherwise, but I still want to get a post up! And this post is what I call Photo Thursday...or random photos that I have taken for my AP Photography class this year. Lets take a wordless look!

So tell me:

What is your favorite thing to shot? I hate shooting people. I am not a portrait person. I like my objects and white backgrounds. That is where I work best!

Tell me something random about your week!

    So creative! I like those photos of the knives and potatoes lined up in order by length! 🙂

    I really need to take a photography class of some kind...I mean I have this dslr camera that I don't really know how to use...kind of a waste of its potential!! The good pictures I take are mostly by accident haha

      Thanks Amanda! I am like you too! I really don't know how to properly use my fancy DSLR either! My photo class doesn't actually teach me how to shoot and when ever I try to read tips and learn on my own, it just never sticks and I still have no idea what I am doing!

    I'm the opposite; I love taking photos of people, especially when I can capture a candid expression. Some of my best photos are of children I took in Afghanistan. I had a good camera then. Now I have my iPhone. 🙁

      Hahah, I just re-read what I wrote in my first comment. I didn't take the children. I should've said, "Some of my best photos I took are of children in Afghanistan." Sounds better that way, doesn't it?

        Haha, no worries I understood and didn't realize that until you said it 😉 I'm sure the photos are stunning! Seeing different cultures is always captivating!

    I love catching scenery! Of my favorite places, places I’ve been, or just a great hidden site!

      Yes! Like finding old abandoned buildings! They can be the most beautiful subjects!

    Very nice pics! We just got a new camera so our pictures are much clearer. I am not a photographer but when I do take pics, my cats are my favorite subject. 🙂

    Great pictures!
    Like you I'm not keen on portrait photography. Maybe because I have yet to figure out how to get them right. But I feel like objects, flowers and, yes, food, too, have a lot of appeal to them, too. Shot from different angles and in various light setting there's a great way of teasing out new points of view in everyday life objects. As you did here.

      Exactly! I also just seem to never be inspired by anything...except food photos..they are fun! But I have a hard time coming up with ideas.

      I got my DSLR a few years ago for my bday! But yes, they are extreamly expensive if you want a good one, but it is worth it!

    Love it, lady! I'm actually a huge fan of simplistic shots, and I'd have to say that the whisk and potato ones are my favourite 🙂 Also, I couldn't help but laugh at the kitchen scrubber, 'cause that's exactly what I used to wipe down my sink this morning 😆

    I love portrait and food photography but hateeee product photography, even though that's what I do for work more often than not!

    That self portrait has the perfect lighting!

      I wish I liked portraits, but I just never have willing subjects, haha!
      That photo was taken in a pretty much dark room with just an old stand bulb. (in the photo room at school!) We then had to make them black and white, and I was surprised by how nice it actually did come out, haha!

    Maybe its because I eat sweet potatoes almost daily, but I love the potato photo the best. To answer your question, I hate taking pictures of eggs. They never look good LOL

      Hahaha the potato photo is my favorite too! 🙂
      Meat is also a really hard food to make look pretty. Sticking to veggies and fruits....and pancakes is the way to go, hahaha!

Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞 So Celiac Disease is NOT a food allergy 🚫🍞

So many people still confuse the two, but it’s an autoimmune disease, not an allergy. That means gluten doesn’t cause an immediate allergic reaction resulting in hives or swelling…it causes your immune system to attack your small intestine longterm. 

This distinction matters because:
👉 There’s no medication or quick fix
👉 The only treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet
👉 Mislabeling it as an “allergy” is scientifically incorrect. There is no such thing as a gluten allergy.

Swipe through to learn why the distinction is inportant and why accurate education and awareness is paramount. Let’s set the record straight and not mislabel our disease when speaking about it. 💛
