Elsa + Ray

This wedding took place on a farm near Raymond, MS. It was a beautiful day for a photoshoot! The actual ceremony was during sunset, and a night-time reception was a perfect ending.

Cindy Sherman

"The Untitled Film Stills are all black and white photos in which Sherman places herself as an unnamed actress in shots reminiscent of foreign films, Hollywood pictures, B-movies, and film noir. " - wiki

"[T]here was nothing more to say [through painting]," she later recalled. "I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead."

Many Make Ones

I recently took some better photos of these projects I made at MSU in a photography class. It was by far my favorite project, probably ever. And it's one of those things I keep telling myself to do again. I hope to flesh out this section of my portfolio more. But in the meantime, at least I have these down electronically with room to expand.

Flash Forward

So this show is coming off pretty cheesy or unsurprising when It's supposed to be. I'm thinking it's meant for LOST fans. Not nearly as great as lost.. but I'm watching it anyway.

Watch hulu before they start charging you!

But, do take a look at the opening scene of episode 4, I thought it was a pretty good lead in. Anyone know who's singing the song?

But it's still inspiring if you read.

I wanted to share a site that I found to be an instant intrigue for me.

I'm the type of person that forms an opinion very quickly, possibly too quickly. I have no attention span, if it were up to me to hire designers it would be rough for anyone to get through my judgement. I wouldn't even make it. I'm not saying I dislike most everything, just that if you don't put the best thing in front of me before any other visual image, then I'll move along in less than 10 seconds. That first impact is everything!
But, I think with the computer age - more and more people are equally as distracted.

So at the same time, I'm not sure why I instantly love this. Because there's not a whole lot of very mature and organized design going on. Maybe that's exactly why it draws my interest.

1. It's called Barstool Romantic. the name itself already scores a few cool points.

2. The about link reads "The Barstool Romantic celebrates the wanderers, explorers, vagabonds, beats, carousers, rebels, hell-raisers and originals of the world. Those great ideas of freedom and the open road; drinking, laughing and loving like hell; getting out there and into it."
My thoughts: Right on... amazing.. this is what I'm dreaming, living, and striving to live like daily. I value freedom and curiosity for the world way too much.

postcards from a place
where I am not.

We’re not tourists, we’re travelers

a tourist is someone who
thinks about going home the
moment they arrive

whereas a traveler
might not come
back at all.”

Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky


BAM!

i love you.


4. oh but wait.. there's also a Diane Arbus photo further down the stream... affirmed!


p.s. I found it through Joanna Goddard's blog.

Look at all of these Cute Bunnies!

BettyBeatrix!

This girl I've never met, but I may have seen her around town and not known who she was. We live in the same town, and every day I am amazed at how many great and talented people live here. But Elise is one I'm feeling is specially gifted, and probably someone who's a lot of fun to be around.

You can buy on etsy and read about it in more detail on her blog.

Her Etsy store will have these blue kitties later on...!!!!
