day 173

so i had an artist thing for a little while... dont really feel like talking about it right now because im so excited about the 35mm film i got back tonight that i feel like its far in the past now.

ok...well.... i got discouraged. after i had 3 models no call no show on me all in one week, it kinda got my spirits down. i was a little heartbroken. i wrote this on my mm:

"photography is my life. i am in love with it… but… because I work so much, my time is very sparse and precious to me. the above models have disrespected my time, my enthusiasum to work with them, and my love of photography by planning shoots with me and then not calling, and not showing up...and i have still not heard from them to this day."

and im not saying i was all emo artist like and pouting about life. i just simply set that on the back burner and focused on other things. like my love of life. and ill erase this if this sounds too hippy... breath. and breeze. and sun. and stupid work. and life that just happens. even when you dont want those parts of life to happen. like a burned out headlight. and awkward social situations. yum. its all great.

anyways. i saw my buddy bask walking through the streets of ybor. and he picked me up and hugged me and told me how great my photography was and that he cant wait to see more. and i was flattered. and asked: really? yeah. shit. and my best friend was talking to someone about me and when she started on about my photography, she said, "yeah. oh my god. she is such an ammaazing photographer." what??? and of course my mentor and kick ass photographer buddy, chris rank. he's such a great supporter of me. aw shucks guys.

although of course i think theyre exaggerating, at least it was exactly what i needed to hear after that break of enhoying every detail of life... and so i shot this. its called "watch your step".. go figure :

and thats all i can show you for now....

day 81

to change it all up, i want to talk about music today.

im gonna talk about my relationship with music.
and talk about a few things related.
and in the process... you'll see why i'm not a writer...

i love music so much that i can physically FEEL it. when i'm listening to it, i can feel it in my gut and throat. this is why i love dancing. dancing feels so good. hearing a really good song makes me move. in a really funny way too. i just dance how i feel. and i feel pretty funny. oh. and im really personal about music too. like most things i love in my life. and i love a lot of things. i can't like a song if too many people like it.

but back to loving music. god. i just LOOOOVE it. dancing is the shit.

so to share some songs that i love that can really really really make me instantly happy atm...

i have placed that little box to the right. its white and blue and has songs in it.

that is my love list. i might not have my ipod updated, or my cds dowloaded, or my mycomputer/ajflame/music updated.... but my IMEEM is ALWAYS updated. almost daily....if the order of the 'songs i really love atm' changes.



EDIT-----------ADDITION
i started off havig a lot to say about music...but as i started typing i lost it all because i was dancing on the keyboard to music.

day 65

(?) i hope its day 65.

since my last post i have:

- moved into a new adorable apt. in hyde park
- turned 24
- made $100 at my "eclectic/artsy" yard sale
- re-invented an old D&G ad for a photo shoot
- stabbed myself in the back with my switchblade
- set my finger on fire doing my first flaming dr. pepper
- decided to take up knitting

and that's just the boring stuff.

i've been slow on taking pics. at first i was frantically preparing for my (s
uper successful) yard sale. and now that's over, i'm trying to finish moving into my place. im jumping on it now.

day 42

ah! fun.

my sister had a photography project due in school... and so, of course, she asked for my help. i didn't help her at all with the projects guidelines. but instead took the camera from her and we started messing around with an old minolta flash with my digital and shot some pretty nifty stuff.

UNEDITED digital pics for the day:





and here i make my debut with my glasses and my wavy hair....
