No Camera Day

I love to take photos. Taking pictures of someone's wedding never felt like work, and if I had to keep only one material thing for the rest of my life, I will definitely choose my little camera. Of course, my favorite 85 mm lens attached!

But recently, I've worked too much. I was always either taking photos, processing images or thinking about new ideas. So I decided to have 'No Camera Day' at least once a month. And last Saturday was the first one.

It was my first real day-off since I got my Canon 5D in December 2007. It was hard NOT to think about pictures, but my efforts to be away from anything photography paid me off. I was already in Virginia Beach - I had a photoshoot the next day - so I didn't have to go anywhere special to enjoy the 'No Camera Day'.

I went shopping and bought two beach towels, a pair of flip-flops, a bottle of tanning oil, and a book, 'Historian'. I love to read books and have bought and read lots of books from amazon recently. But they are all like...

Fashion Photography
Minimalist Lighting
500 Poses for Photographing Women
...

Yes, I needed a break.

I also bought Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino. My favorite drink at Starbucks is Light-iced Triple Skim Latte with 2 Pumps of Sugar-free Vanilla Syrup. But, coffee drinks are for work. They are kind of boring... Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is white, and has lots of little grond vanilla bean pieces, making the person who drinks that look like an angel! :)

Oh, about the book 'Historian'. It seemed interesting... But, I fell asleep on the beach on my new flower-patterned towel after reading the page 7 of the book.

Obviously, I don't have a photo taken that day, so I'll include one I just took while blogging. This is my favorite hair pin that my mom bought me from Korea! And, yes, I meant South Korea.
