I’ve always been an art kid, I think. It was mainly drawing when I was younger. Now it’s photography.

Currently, I have a Nikon Coolpix S4. I bought it for the 10x optical zoom and it has never let me down. Now if only it had the vibration reduction the newer S10 has, I’d be set. I’ve been thinking of getting a DSLR — Nikon D40 to be exact — for either my birthday nine days from now or for graduation. Who knows… But I’ve been looking around online and asking Mr. Andy Blackburn (New Era photographer) for his opinion/advice.

Anyway, back in early April, I decided to start a series of photos taken in downtown Lancaster. So far, it’s been all black and white photos.

Today, I was studying at the public library when I decided to take a break and head over to my favorite coffee shop… (Speaking of coffee shops, I think Teen Weekend will be starting a series on them in late spring.) …when I noticed some graffiti. I also got a shot of a fancy SUV parked beneath it for a little irony. So that was my day. Stay tuned for more photos!
