Somewhere along the way, my photography and my writing became hobbies. Shortly after that, they became my twin obsessions and loves.<br /><br /><div>Now I want to make a living, doing what I love.</div><div><br /></div><div>This blog will serve as a testament to my journey of a lifetime. I'm setting out on this odyssey to make a living by two things: my lens and my pen. What you will see here is the photographic side of the journey. For my writing side, you will need to travel to my writing blog <a href="http://kellyvarner.blogspot.com/">http://kellyvarner.blogspot.com/</a></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>Let the voyage commence!</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>The above photograph was taken last December inside the California State Capitol Building. I converted to B&W and added the border and text in post.</div><div></div><div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zqHzLicnPMw/Sicwl6nBwpI/AAAAAAAAAA4/K-HwhrUQv-Q/s1600-h/MissionSanMiguel.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343292910844625554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 208px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zqHzLicnPMw/Sicwl6nBwpI/AAAAAAAAAA4/K-HwhrUQv-Q/s320/MissionSanMiguel.jpg" border="0" /></a>The photograph on the left was also taken in December 2008 on the same trip to California. It is part of Mission San Miguel in central California. I used a polarized lens to deepen the blue of the sky. I added the border and text in post. <br /><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I took many photographs on this two week trip up and down California. I shot architecture, landscapes and portraits. There were so many incredible things to capture. <br /><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I shot with two cameras on this trip; the first was a point and shoot Epson 810 and the second was a Canon XSi.<br /><br /></div><div></div><div>Both of these photos came from the Canon.<br /><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>More to come!<br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /></div><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6949463975185401950-65868272249949818?l=varnerphotography.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kelly Varnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04418595425375074845noreply@blogger.com1
