Okay, let’s do this! So the awesome Brooke Shaden started a challenge – to create every single day for 15 days straight. I’ve started so many projects this year and stopped halfway through (sometimes not even getting that far), but I decided to do this because I know that doing it with other people is…
My computer died. I have everything backed up but for about 4 days I did not know what to do with my life. I couldn’t edit, update my blog, or do any work. It’s crazy that our whole lives depend on those machines. I’ll spare you the details of the painful recovery process (recovering my…
I’ve fallen down more times than I can count. I mean both metaphorically and literally; I’m clumsy. When I’m face down on the ground I feel like this is it. This is when I finally admit defeat. This is when gravity is my best friend. This is when I stay down. I feel defeated. So many…
I loved this week’s theme. There were so many images I wanted to create but decided to focus on one. I want to walk until the road and I become one I want to go back but there is no way for me to turn around I can only go straight from here I can…
What was I thinking choosing “dawn” as a theme? I’ll tell you what I was thinking: my mind is totally blanking out, that means I MUST choose it! I’ll challenge myself! Yeah.. not the best idea haha. I couldn’t think of what to do and when I did, I did not have time to edit…
I’ve decided to start a 52 Week Project, and to keep myself motivated I’ve asked some friends to join in and I’m SO excited to get it going. So far, 25 people have joined me! So if you’re interested in being a part of it, please send me a message 😀 the more the merrier.…
Oh hi. This blog still exists. I didn’t forget about it, I’ve just been.. lost. Metaphorically speaking of course. I’m still here. I just felt like all this time, I didn’t have anything worth sharing. Which, I now realize, isn’t true. I’ve been to so many new places and met so many incredible people. In…
I love ballet. I love all things soft, delicate, and feminine. I recently watched a video by Sue Bryce about shooting dance style portraits, and wanted to try it myself. I wanted to see if I can pose girls who aren’t dancers in a way that would make them look like they are. Because really, what…
Back in December, Hasselblad sent me a camera to try. I had the H5D-50C, and two lenses: HC 50II MM and HC 80MM. It was absolutely amazing to use. The sound of the shutter alone is just.. ahhh. Okay I won’t gush too much. I planned out a series of images specifically to create with that…
If tomorrow never comes, would I feel like I’ve lived my life the best way I can? Did I do enough? Did I tell people how much I love them, did I change someone’s life to the better, did I influence anyone. Did I make a difference? Today is one of those days where I…
