Welcome to my blog!

Surprised as I am to say it, a new year has just begun. And as per tradition I have made several new years resolutions to myself. In order to self-motivate and help myself stay on track I decided to start a blog. I will be blogging about my photography, my passion for dance, my trails and errors with learning yoga and snowboarding, cooking, music, movies and anything else I may find interesting along the way.

I currently pursing my bachelors in Event Management in Burlington, VT and will be planning several fund-raising events in the future. I will be posting information about the events and encourage you to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

My favorite Disney movie as of lately has been Alice in Wonderland and after choosing my blog title I decide to use an appropriate pen name, just for fun.

My goal is to be posting every day but I will settle for weekly, we'll see how it goes.
Constructive criticism, questions or clarification, helpful tips or advice and positive thoughts are encouraged :)
xoxoAlice

Kitty Can't Cope

This is my roommate Maggie's cat Nala. We gave her some catnip and she just laid there for a bit then fell asleep. She was so cute so naturally I grabbed my camera and here is photo number thirteen:

For this picture I turned the flash off because my biggest peeve with digital point and shoot cameras verses an old SLR film camera is not being able capture the natural light of a shot. The flash almost always over exposes pictures and does not do the subject justice. I put my camera on the Kids&Pets setting and snapped away. I had to take a couple shots to get one in perfect focus and settled on this one. I then upped the contrast for truer blacks and brought down the color saturation for the black and white effect.
