Still alive.

[tehjules]

Since I keep saying that I spend more time away than at home, I come with proof in the form of pictures!

... Actually it's more of a way to share some pictures from my shiny new Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I'm in LOVE.

Most of the pictures are from Shiloh National Park. I also fell in love with taking black and white shots. Obviously.




Here's my Supernatural picture. I just... It reminds me of some spooky graveyard that we'd see in Supernatural. Sadly, the boys weren't off to the side all sweaty and digging a hole. Woe.


I've loved going to this cabin since I was a kid. It's overlooking Sarah Bell's orchard. During the civil war it was supposedly in bloom and when the bullets sliced through the trees the petals fell like snow.


As I knelt down to take a photo of this, some genius asked me if he was a relative. It took all of the power in my being to be nice instead of a smartass. I wanted SO badly to tell her yes, that Mr. Soldier was my great great great grandfather and that we called him Unk for short. *blankstare*


Tuttle monument had a turtle walking by it. I got the biggest kick out of it and had to take a picture.


Yes, yes. Facing the sun but massive and pretty.


More pretty. (Am I crazy for thinking that cement is pretty?)


I also think that cemeteries are pretty. Maybe I've watched too much Buffy in my lifetime.


CANNONS ARE PRETTY TOO, DAMNIT.


This is one of my favorite ones.


I don't know. Fence?


There's the little cabin from the first cabin picture. Isn't it cute? Yeah, crazy. Shut up.


I LOVE THIS LITTLE BUILDING. It isn't in Shiloh but I still thought it was the cutest little thing. I'd live there.


I'm off to see Ocean's 13. Shush.

I have a new shiny Rebel XTi also...I love it. I haven't had time to play with it as much as I'd like but I love it. :) I am going to try to dedicate this weekend to playing with it, and getting out of the house to take pictures. We have quite a few run down small cemeteries around here that would be awesome to photograph. ;)

And that first picture...I totally read that as Dean, not Doan...but I wouldn't expect any less from myself. lol.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Isn't it an awesome camera? There's going to be fireworks shows the next few nights and I can't wait to play with it out there. Cemeteries are the BEST though.

Bad fangirl is me! I never even thought Dean *facepalm* I will every time I see it now, so that counts for something! ;)

[gwentastic.livejournal.com]

Oh whoa, your pictures are awesome.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I had mucho fun taking them so I hope to post others ya know, sometime.

[gwentastic.livejournal.com]

I hope you do. I know I'd love to see more.

[shinetastic.livejournal.com]

*squeely noise* these are AMAZING! Wow! That last house is the most quaint little place! Love!

Mr. Soldier was my great great great grandfather and that we called him Unk for short.

LMAO omg. That is hilarious ♥

Cemeteries are one of my fav. things to take pictures of (I prefer B&W, also) not because it's all "dark and goth" but because it's one of the most quiet serene places and old headstones are the most beautiful things. I also hope that something paranormal will show up in my film XD (notice I didn't use the word 'supernatural' to refrain from soundling like TOO much of a dork.)

GREAT photography!!

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Eeee! I've seen your icon a dozen times but now I love it even more.

I totally agree on the reason not being because it's goth-ey, but because it's just... yeah. A nice calm, peaceful place. (That also satisfies my inner fangirl. *g*)

Thank you!

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

You know how much I love graveyard pics, right? Wait. I don't think I've ever told you that, and yet I'm sure you still know it.

I'm so glad you finally posted this, Jules! They look incredible, seriously. *mwah*

*admires you and your photography skillz*

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

NO I DID NOT KNOW. (Though I totally did know.)

Graveyards are the bestest. There's an awesome one up in Ohio around Sugarcreek that I always eyeball but haven't ever stopped.

Mwah!

[reidmorgan.livejournal.com]

you are not crazy for thinking cement is pretty, I thought it was too! very nice pics by the way.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

I'm a total sucker for monuments. I'm glad you like 'em!

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous pictures! ♥

I also think cemeteries are pretty. I love how peaceful they are.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I could travel around checking out cemeteries and taking pictures. I especially love all of the really old markers.

[bloodygoodgirl.livejournal.com]

Jules! I also fell in love with taking black and white shots. Obviously. I love black and white, I think it brings a clean simplicity and dramactic touch to pictures, especially with the subjects you choose. Canons are pretty damnit.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Cannons are *cool*. And pretty. Word on the simplicity. Black and white clothes are the same way. I could spend a fortune in White House/Black Market. Whenever I pass one I have to stop and look at the pretty dresses in the window.

[bloodygoodgirl.livejournal.com]

I love that store. In fact we went into Durham to shop and I bought a dress from there that was origianlly 138 bucks for only 30 dollars. It's gorgoues and I think I'm going to wear it to my friend's wedding.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Haha. Love the icon sweetie.

What an excellent buy! I'm gonna have to scout these B/W sales a little better next time I'm around one. :P

[vibrantharmony.livejournal.com]

Very pretty! As for the first one, I think you just weren't looking hard enough. Sam and Dean are at every cemetary, all the time. Bad fangirl.

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

...Huh.

You have a good point, BUT... If they'd been in this cemetery, I probably wouldn't be back home now, would I? There's room for me in the trunk of an Impala...

[http://users.livejournal.com/beloved_one_/]

Those are some mighty fine pictures!

I can't wait to see you! And just so you know I called off work for 2 weeks. One for when your visiting and the other so I can have a week at your house. How awesome am I? I'm sorry it couldn't be for longer, I wanted to go to Cali damnit! But that's all I could work out.

See you soooon <3

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

YAY! No worries, I can make you fall in love with Mtn Home in a week. I'll just have to amp up my evil plan. ;)

So you're off... is Melinda off? It'll be the 9th through the 14th and we have Canada (yay!) and Cedar Point (Bigger yay!). It'll suck if we have to leave her behind because she's working through the week. lol Keep the pressure on for her to not have anything to do through the week!

[http://users.livejournal.com/beloved_one_/]

Yea, she has the week off while you guys are in Ohio, but that's it.

You and your evil plans... *looks around worriedly* haha

Anywho, Cedar Point and Canada better be ready for us!

[beckytheelf.livejournal.com]

Dude...that is a very pretty cemetery. I cannot believe I just wrote that.
Are you feeling inspired from the pretty pictures to go write some fanfic? *hint hint nudge nudge*
It's been nice to hear from you sweetie!

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Omg, I'm back again. I feel like a broken record. ;)

No fanfic urges (well, some, but my attention span is teeny tiny) But vids? Hoo boy.

[beckytheelf.livejournal.com]

OMG OMG OMG! *bounces all over the place* I thought you'd disappeared forever pumpkin =D
WELCOME BACK!! We missed you! *g*

[obursts.livejournal.com]

Hello! This is (or was) mailerose. I've got a new journal and I'm hoping that you could friend this one instead?

[tehjules.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! I like the new name. :)
