Mister Macro

Today I purchased my first macro lens, and I've been having a tremendous amount of fun with it. Not only is it great for getting up close and personal with insects and objects, but it is amazing for portraits as well. Thank you Ryan Pinto.

Once Upon a Time

Today was an adventure, but what day isn't? Me and Kylie started our day by venturing out on roads less traveled. We came across a paradise fit for a princess. The landscape was magical with a hint of mystery which welcomed are footsteps with warm breezes and sunshine. There was even a hog to enjoy the comforts of such a day. And whats better than hog snorts as a background melody? Every fairytale needs an evil foe.

"And she lived happily ever after. The End. "

Back Roads

You never know where back roads may lead you. They may lead to beautiful far away paradises where the water meets the sand, and the grass grows as tall as you. Where the birds sing, and the bees buzz. As long as that can of pepper spray is in your hand, back roads become an adventure every time.

Downtown

Being out of school, finally, gives me the chance to take as many pictures as possible and I love it. Today me and Cydne went downtown by the water and explored a little with Cameron. It was super hot with a heat index of 108 degrees but was well worth the trip. Sunny days, the ocean, and good friends are what put a smile on my face everyday, and with summer here, many memories are starting to be made.

Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck never ceases to amaze me in his books. I'm halfway done with his novel Diary and found this amazing quote that I believe is true in many aspects of art.

"Looking at great art makes you forget your own name, forget where you're at. It can bring on depression and physical exhaustion."

Vogue 1970's

This era of time, fashion, and pop culture has to be my favorite. It was an era of freedom, self expression, peace and war. It was a time when people stopped and looked around them, helped the environment and made changes in the way they lived. The 70's were also a time of the great artist Andy Warhol and model Twiggy who set the pace for 'skinny' models. But the fashion, oh the fashion was spectacular.

Summer Flowers and Sunsets

Everywhere I go, these yellow summer flowers are popping up. I'm in love with them. It kind of reminds me of guerrilla gardening. For those of you who don't know what that is, its pretty much planting flowers or trees in places that are in need of a little sprucing up (ex. cities, places with too many roads, plain jane towns). Its little things like colorful flowers that put a smile on my face every day. And I hope when you see them, they do the same to you.

Hippie Styles are the Best Styles

I went shopping a few days ago, and it seems the fashion cycle has come full circle. The 70's 'hippie' style is back in, incorporating flower patterns, bright vivid colors, off the shoulder tunics, and cute sundresses you just can't refuse to buy. These cuts, styles, and colors, are flattering to most anyone.

So what are you waiting for? Happy Shopping.

Adventures with Tommy

Today Tommy and I set out for something to do. For awhile we drove around aimlessly looking for cameras stores. (We found another Ritz North on 41, and realized that one was closed as well. Its scary to actually visualize what the economy is doing to us). After giving up, we went out to lunch and set out for an adventure. We drove past this preserve, and to our amazement was free, pretty big, and full of nature and wild life. We waited out the rain for a little while before our hike in bug infested acres (FYI: don't ever venture out after a humid rain, this is a bugs feast). On our trail we came across tortoises, pretty wild flowers, and wide paths which seemed to go on for days.

It was a relaxing little trail (we took the shortest one, the thunder was a little foreshadowing). Tomorrow we plan to set out again, maybe for a canoe ride.

Love,
