picnic date

josh and i went to our favorite hiking spot. whenever we go hiking we always say that we should have a picnic there some time under the trees. so today we did.we bought some chinese food and were on our mary little way. it was a really fun time. the bugs bit josh into oblivion though. i didn't get one bite.

what's new for fall by spring means nothing

today was starbucks and thrifting day. these will be my first 5 items for sale on etsy. i modeled one sweater. all photos taken by me.

it's been a while!

well, it has been a while. most people who know me, well especially my family, know how much of a mega vintage freak i am. i love just about everything vintage. mainly goods from the 50's and 60's. i've been thrifting a lot lately and have been finding some absolutely amazing gems. here are a few glasses i found. and i bought the most comfy, soft vintage tee on etsy.com. i plan on selling some of my vintage finds on etsy.com here pretty soon. i'll have to link my page when i get everything squared away.

(I forgot to sign my name to the bottom of these two photos. but they are mine and I took them.)

went hiking again today

these are some more photos from our hike from a few days ago. josh got a few pretty good ones of me, so i uploaded one. :)

oooh, it's hiking season again

josh and i went hiking yesterday and boyo was i happy. if you don't know me hiking is a BIG part of who i am and what i love to do. my hobbies include, photography, biking, and HIKING. [i think you can tell which is my favorite.] and while i am still inspired by so much, with out hiking i wouldn't have such great inspiration for taking my photography at all. these are a few of my photos from the day.

Happy St. Pat's Day!

well, i am back after not posting anything in probably well over a month. i have a problem with blogging sometimes. but, the main reason i have not posted is because i saw a bunch of people on my facebook start up photo blogs which made me think i had stared a fad or something, so i just felt... "over it". maybe they did and maybe they did not see my url and think, "hey what a magnificent idea!" (plausible) but, my wonderful sister, jessica who is probably the only person who views this blog (other than the random people who just hit "next blog" at the top of the screen to give them a random blog to view) picked me up from the dirt and made me realize that photos and photography are a big part of me, and i want to share myself with you.

anyways, i am officially on spring break! i finished my finals today at 5:00. i am very happy. i will be gracing florida with my presence in 9 days! now that is just smashing!

here is my daily photo! it seems fitting enough! sporting my GREEN st. patty's day apparel and all!

one blissful day. we'll meet.

express yourself

"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life."-William Faulkner

my ultimate dream

"Don't tell me that man doesn't belong out there. Man belongs wherever he wants to go-- and he'll do plenty well when he gets there."-Wernher Von Braun

captivate

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea and the music in its roar; I love not man the less, but Nature more."
-Lord Byron

quite possibly the best movie i have ever seen

"I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds, other environments. For me, it was fantasy, but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism." -James Cameron

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." -Christopher McCandless
