I feel like this looks a lot better when you press L.

I'm so far behind; it's ridiculous. Weekends are the busiest right now... I cannot wait for life to go back to normal, if it ever does.

I had such a nice Valentine's Day! It's strange because I didn't even get to see my boyfriend, but we talked a lot and then we skyped and "exchanged" gifts on there. I made him a card and a bunch of silly coupons with things like "1 car ride where you have complete control of the radio," etc and he bought me chocolate covered coffee beans, mmm. I've never been a huge fan of the holiday, but since it was - by sheer coincidence - the day he and I admitted to liking each other 2 years ago, it holds some significance to me now :)

Oh, also: I said awhile ago that I was going to take photos of my best friend and her boyfriend, but that fell through when my aunt went to the hospital a few days before it was supposed to happen. So next weekend, I'll hopefully be taking them in Columbus. <333 Also, yayay, we're going to tour a university together on Monday. She's already planning to go there but I'm not sure where in the world I'm going yet, so maybe this will shed some light!

Edit (12:07 AM Friday):
Rough day spent at the hospital. Aunt is in ICU after brain surgery complications and it is "very serious," so much that my grandparents who were on a cruise out of the country are being flown in tomorrow morning at the recommendation of her doctors. She is on a breathing machine that has been breathing 100% for her this whole evening. She went into cardiac arrest twice and they had to do cpr.
So scary, so confusing...

Portrait #1

I'm starting a portrait project. I'll be posting a portrait of some sort as often as possible - hopefully I can find willing models - and I'm starting with a self portrait. I'll also include something about the person whose picture I upload in each post.

For myself, well, I'm very happy with life right now. I had a rough few weeks awhile back, with family problems (I had to go stay at my grandparent's house for awhile, and now my dad has moved out for the time being) and my kitten dying (he was hit by a car). But things are good now, and I'm looking at colleges and trying to keep up with classes. <3

I know that this is a seemingly pointless self portrait, but really, I'm posting it for a reason. I have this intense hatred for my canine teeth and therefore have never (that I can remember) posted a photo showing them. So, here they are.. in all their vampirical glory. This is my real smile, oh, but let's focus on all that BOKEH, why don't we??

View On Black

I hate when I wake up from a confusing dream and it affects me for the rest of the day.

Explored: Sometimes I feel like I'm growing down, not up.

Thanks, everyone, for the hobby suggestions. I really want to take up sewing, so perhaps I'll be posting self portraits with homemade clothes soon!

everything i do reminds me of you

Well maybe it’s me
And my blind optimism to blame
Maybe its you and your sick need
To give love then take it away
And you’ll add my name
To your long list of traitors
Who don’t understand
And I’ll look back in regret
How I ignored when they said
Run as fast as you can...

I had a strange dream last night. My aunt woke up from her coma and besides being extremely groggy, the only difference was that she was mean. And her husband was absolutely beaming when he said "Well, I guess she's just mean now!" It seemed so real. I wish it was.

Winter Wonderland

Part of me hates winter, but another part of me still gets excited about snow... and while it can't replace flowers, it does make for some pretty fun photo effects. I was taking jump shots here and ended up liking this one (where I'm not even jumping!) best.

p.s. This is WAY better large, fyi :)

One of my friends got engaged this past week and she's asked me to shoot their engagement photos. I'm so excited! They're an absolutely gorgeous couple, yipppee :)

Portrait #5

I love mirrors. I really, really do. I think they're my absolute favorite thing to take pictures of/with. Wonderful objects, they are!

I'm ashamed for posting another self portrait so soon into my project, but I took this and quite liked it, so oh well. At least it's not that similar to my last one :)

Fact about me: I love my mom SO much. She's definitely one of the best friends I have, and it makes me so sad every time we fight. We're both hugely stubborn and opinionated, so when our opinions clash (which isn't so very often, but it happens, especially regarding family problems) it's war. I'm just glad that I know she'll love me no matter what kind of stupid mistakes I make, and even if she doesn't support my life decisions, she won't try to change them. I'm thankful for everything she's done for me, from taking care of me as a child to becoming my friend as I grew up and teaching me to be a strong person. I see people my age who resent their moms, or think they don't understand anything about them, and it makes me sad. So:
I hope that in me, there could be a reflection of the woman who I am privileged to call "mom."

I should've known.

Listen.

Today is one of those days. The ones when it’s just the right weather to sit outside and remember. It’s not so hot your brain is sweating its thoughts away or too cold they’re frozen in place. There’s a familiar crispness in the air that reminds me of autumns past. I find myself considering who I was then and what has taken place since. But the truth is, I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. Maybe it’s because I’m being faced with the first really big decision I’ll make in my adult life – and how did that happen? I thought I was still 12 years old, lying under the summer sky with the best group of brothers and cousins in the world, naming our own constellations… - or maybe it’s just my nature to think about those things?
