" it's easy to feel safe,
for people to look at you
and think someone's going
somewhere. surrounded by
so much b o r i n g space, five
days is a long time to stay
unimpressed. "
--glamorama by bret easton ellis

posted some photographs i took in dallas going to the dallas museum of art to see van gogh's sheaves of wheat exhibit. so critiques would be nice. i register for classes for next semester tomorrow and i'm going to try to get into a photojournalism class before it fills up. i'm really excited about that class : )

school is nice and it's finally starting to get cold and i take too many naps and spend an unneccessary amount of time on the computer and am close to finishing my book glamorama and i watch movies quite often and work on the weekends and i'm usually content.

but i'm ready for thanksgiving break. a few days of no school and no work sdfhoig finally.

hope all is well.
much love. <3

third week of school.

i'm in my routine already and it's nice. meeting new people and all that jazz. my social life isn't very much up to par because of having to juggle school on weekdays and work all weekend but i'm okay with that right now. i really become my own best friend at times. i enjoy my company so i'm alright.

my recent photographs aren't focusing on the qualitiy of the photograph because my camera isn't very high quality but just focusing on the picture itself. i'm enjoying just snapping random shots on campus.

a friend of mine from work might let me use his camera and we might take picture soon so that is something i'm very much looking forward to. i'm hoping to get into a photography class next semester so it would be much appreciated to get some feedback. and i will try and keep up with your photography as well.

but enough babbling. i'm so terrible at these journal entries. my ramblings are never very interesting--my apologies.

just got back from a short road trip to austin, tx with my friend grace. submitted a few pictures from the trip and still working on a few. i don't have the best camera at the moment but my little canon that emmie gave me will do for now.

last week in mckinney then moving to denton. this summer has passed by so quickly. probably one of the most memorable. i feel like i've evolved so much and learned a lot. especially about myself.

i can't wait until fall semester.

"make sure you're happy when you leave your summer places"

this isn't a tale of derring-do, nor is it merely some kind of 'cynical
account'; it isn't meant to be, at least. it's a chunk of two lives running
parallel for a while, with common aspirations and similar dreams.
-ernesto guevara from the motorcycle diaries

summer has been interesting to say the least. i mean it all comes down to "convenience" right? whatever's convenient for you. it's almost july. &summer nights are amazing. i show lack of interest. things are different and i'm different and it's summer and the days are hot and long. and most of the time i can't even pretend with people.

i went on a spontaneous photoshoot with emmie olds-benton and mason mobly the other day and emmie kindly let me use her digital camera. so i have quite a few new photographs and i would really appreciate feedback. <3


because it seems to me that i wake up and sleep look in the mirror and have no idea what happened in between. - bright eyes.

two weeks flying by. terrifying .

i turned in all my yearbook/camera stuff today and i feel really weird. really empty. i'm hoping my parents will buy me a new camera for graduation but until then i'm left all alone.

i got yearbook photographer of the year. i've never really won anything all my life and i was stunned. and more than ever i'm so glad i tried this year. that i finally put forth some effort. my yearbook teacher was writing my letter of recommendation and i actually had to fight the urge to just tear up. my emotions can no longer be controlled, oh god it's time for summer.

i'm excited for this summer. i will finally have some more free time on my hands to hang out with current friends and old friends and friends that are in town from college etc. and i can't wait. i don't really have any photo ideas in mind but i'm just going to go with it.

my feelings about everything are contradicting but i guess that's normal to feel happy and terrified at the same time when you are graduating from high school. it's petty but i can't help it. these next two weeks will not seem real. these next two weeks will not be real.

content and carefree

SO IT GOES.
