Photo Shooting

Noelle and Bergett came over well to hang out AND to contribute to my growing inch by inch as a photographer. They were lovely enough to withstand excruciating amounts of light and gracious enough to look like their beautiful selves as I snapped pictures over and over again at annoying rates. Undoubtedly, I got many usable and amazing shots of them. I think you couldn't help but get some pretty shots from pretty girls, right? ^____^

Anyway, I believe everything went well. Here are some shots.

Jackson!!

I had a photoshoot with Jackson today. I swear that turtle looks at me like he wants to kill me or something, but anyway. I'd like to recruit some people to photograph so if you are interested just comment or contact me in whatever way you can! Hopefully things will work out and I can take pictures of something. Something interesting, I don't know. I need to get a hang of this stuff or I'll get attacked by the end of the year photography exams >_

:D

Thank you.

well:

you do like to write now don't you?
Then write with your mind until your thoughts are sore.
It's pretty much like narrating everything except no one listens. It's perfect because it echoes, bounces basically off the walls and onto itself amplified by the distance it travels, encouraging nothing.
Amusing to no one but yourself.

cuca-

racha!


I was going to post a picture of a cockroach
but then realized that they are REALLY just
(insert intelligent synonym for something that gives you goosebumps here)


so I decided I would instead place a picture of the cute Mulan cricket

Persiededlyshmashmadlydoo (Perseid) Meteor Shower

Some say it's the events in your life that shape you, that the occurrence of something somehow refurnishes and rearranges the furniture in your very comfortable and spacious heart. This is a moment that I think didn't create me at all. I don't think the streaking of those meteors across the sky is what made this all so wonderful. I think it was how it all played out, the anticipation being so much better than the gift itself. Talking to Avery on AIM until it finally got towards that time. Excitedly waking my dad up and climbing the tree to get to the roof and scanning the sky. Getting off the roof and eating toast with jelly with my dad. Telling my cousins over Myspace IM that there was going to be a meteor shower tonight and anticipating it as much as they were. Running outside onto the street holding my daddy's hand with the toast in the other and finally waiting. Peacefully and patiently hoping for it to happen as my neck cramped up and my legs got tired. Shaking my dad's shoulder with tear rimmed eyes screaming "I saw it, I saw it" at the top of my lungs and then laughing so hard. Laughing so hard and being happy, knowing that I would have had the best time even if I hadn't seen anything at all.

this is mostly just for me

okay, well it can be for you too if you want
AHEM;
I made this playlist because it combines the desire to move around and skip over to the nearest paper and pencil and the hope I have for the upcoming year. I know I've never been one to be trustworthy or even the nearest hint of good enough, but when did that stop me from.... I don't know where I was going with that. I made friends with music this summer, I also made friends with movies. I'm really a loner now that I think about it, but it's fine, it's fine, it's not that fine, but wait wait yes it is.....not really.
Let's move along with this, UHM, I surrender myself to the drifts of next fall.

pondering

sometimes we have to think of things bigger than ourselves.
Something beyond the extent of our knowledge or experience. How we come across
these situations may be simple, the consequences; however, are not.
We believe in a world that stretches outwards, one that covers the outskirts of our town,
our nations, the world. Despite this belief, our dreams, our hopes, and
our actions are limited to the tip of our own front lawn. How can this be?
Ingenious ideas have been here for many years, perpetuating knowledge,
endlessly changing and molding itself into
whatever society we shape. We, as individuals, have been here for quite a few years,
much less able to give an impression on such a vast canvas. Nevertheless, a notion given today may decide
the fate of the world tomorrow. Who invented? Someone crazy, someone unbelievable, someone passionate.
A person who didn't just crave to secure their own future, but rather desired to secure the future for mankind.
What I am trying to say is, we must engulf ourselves in these ideas, the desires rather, to change
the world. Why be limited to what you're going to do tomorrow or the next day? We are passionate people,
perfectly able, completely apt. It starts with what you do, with what you decide not to do. It begins
with our ideas, with our words, with our actions and it ends when you stop caring about what happens.
