Photography is Better Together

Go out on adventures with friends. It's awesome!

I found a pair of old toy sunglasses in a box in my basement, and decided it was a reason to call my friends Donna and Jeremy to see if these shades might help me be a better photographer.

We headed to Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge, and Jeremy planned our route. (Not really - it’s a loop, but Jeremy did a good job of studying the information we would need for photographic domination.)

Donna was excited:

I like being in the back seat because I can see more. For this trip, I was the spotter because my new/old shades helped me see better. “LOOK!” I’d yell, and Jeremy would slam the brakes. We make a great trio.

This is what me and my new sunglasses saw (and I haven’t seen Donna and Jeremy’s yet, but they are probably super awesome because I really couldn’t see much with these old, plastic, toy sunglasses):

Lesson 1: Find good friends.

Lesson 2: Find cool shades.
