Old Abandoned Train Depot

The Santa Susana Train Depot is an old historical building located in Ventura County, CA. It was once an old run down train station but the county decided it was a historical treasure and had it restored to its former glory days of busy bustling crowds awaiting the train. Its not an active station any longer, but it is the perfect little spot to see what an old station once looked like when compared to the modern thing.  Nowadays its a tiny little treasure tucked away in the hills. But after having heard about it, me being the girl obsessed with old things, had to go to see it and maybe take some photographs there. It seemed like too perfect a spot to pass up.







Winter Nights and Summer Daydreams

I recently took a trip North to Sequoia National Park with my sister-in-law, Jess. The mountains, despite the recent drought, were blanketed in the most beautiful, pure white snow. The perfect set-up for a week of hot cocoa, snowballs fights, a nice fire, and (of course) a few snapshots in the gorgeous winter weather. These photos were all taken on my Nikon D3000 with my 55mm lens.






Of course, feel free to leave feedback. I'm not exactly an expert at this, so some criticism is always appreciated. But with this entry, I have also decided to start myself on a 365 project starting this March. I don't think I will have any one object in mind. I really just want to capture everyday life. But hopefully, by the end of this big project, I'll be a more accomplished photography and a better judge of myself.
