{reality} My other life.

January 3, 2010

I know I know… it’s been a while, but I have a good excuse! I’ve moved back to the Dominican Republic, and back to what feels like my other life. I’ll admit I was a little apprehensive before I left, but after all the “Welcome Home”s, and all the hugs, I remember why it was so hard to leave the first time. It’s been a crazy month getting things going, but in some ways it feels like I never left. While I haven’t had a chance to take out the “big” camera yet, here’s a little taste of things thus far. If you know anyone travelling to the DR this winter season, I’d love to do some beach sessions! Let me know! Enjoy! :)

project 365 {1-100}

October 6, 2009

Starting this project, I never thought I’d make it this far… I started doing it last year, and only made it two weeks at best, so to see that I’m at 100 already, I know I can do it! Here’s your chance to get caught up, and all in one spot! Enjoy my life for the past 100 days!

what a feeling

October 3, 2009

I headed out early yesterday morning for a shoot a ways past rockland, and there was a beautiful fog that just wouldn’t lift. It was like driving through clouds, making everything feel like a dream. I was a little early, so I just kept driving, when this tree started to become visible. I just had to stop, it felt like something not of this world. After just staring at it for a while… I grabbed my camera. SO glad I did.

I’ve been following Chase Jarvis for some time now, and admired his iPhone shots, so I thought I’d try it myself. I love the idea that it’s not about bells and whistles, but about capturing a moment, or a feeling! He recently came out with a book and an app with the idea that the best camera is the one that’s with you! I couldn’t agree more! So all that being said.. today’s shot. (side note: I’m testing posting straight from my phone… hope it works!)

Hi all! So, I think it’s about time i started a blog… I know right, took me long enough.. hahah! It’ll be a collection of new stuff, old favourites, revisited past shoots, daily pictures, and well just about anything and everything Amanda Hayden Photography. To start it all off, what better than some pictures! Over the summer I went to a friend’s cottage, of course I brought along my camera! Here are a couple from the week away! Enjoy, and stay tuned!
