I've Been Gone For Quite Awhile...But! I'm Back For A Bit!!

Hey guys there won't be a "Quote of the Day" today because I just want to fill you in on what's been going on in this stressed out brain of mine.
Where to start...where to start. Well I'll be sending out my application for college tomorrow and there were some complications with getting one of my recommendation letters ( But that's a whole story that I don't even want to think about...sheesh ) moving on!! So I will definitely try to take more photos and put them up for you all to see, but for now I just want to relax for awhile and just get my mind straight. Reality is beginning to really set in ( it happens to all of us ).

P.S- Sorry for the delay, but there will be photos!! They may not be up here soon ( another but ) they will be here. :)

Quote of the Day #7 and....8

"Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past."
-Berenice Abbott

"Photography, alone of the arts, seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment- this very moment- to say."
-Sam Abell



The past two days I didn't update my blog for the "Quote of the Day" shenanigans so I put them up here before I forget about them (My A.D.D kicks in at moments like these ) I've been really busy running around my school getting my recommendation letters from my teachers, typing my essay ( to then get it fixed by my sister so I can retype AGAIN ), today I just filled out my application for The Art Institute of Philadelphia, I have to get my high school transcript filled out by my guidance counselor ( so then she can fax it over to the college I want to attend ), THEN I have to write my essay on my application so I can mail it out on October 31st. YAY FOR APPLYING TO COLLEGE!!! But, it will be totally worth it. So, sorry ahead of time I'll try to post another quote tomorrow.

Look At My Awesome New Camera I Found In My Attic!!!!

I thought I'd show off my new camera that I found in my attic I LOOOOVE IT!!!

It used to belong to my sister when she had to take Photography classes, but she hated them because she claims she wasn't that good :)

Maybe I'll put some photos up here when I print them out...Eek!! I'm so excited!!

P.S. his name is Cam and he is my handsome boyfriend (haha!!)

I Was Too Wrapped Up In "The Walking Dead" I Almost Forgot....Quote of the Day #...5?

I almost ALMOST forgot about my "Quote of the Day" blogs that I post up here. I was too busy watching "The Walking Dead" season 1 reruns ( UNTIL THE SEASON 2 PREMIERE!!! BOOYAH!! ) that I just remembered when I was on the computer see? I care :)
Well here goes your "Quote of the Day".

Quote of the Day, Day, Day, Day....#4

"To me, Photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place...I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
-Elliot Erwitt

Quote of The Day...#3

"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still"
-Dorothea Lange

 Ponce, Puerto Rico

I happened upon this picture just now! I completely forgot about it. This was taken when I had visited July 2011. Capturing moments like these are my most favorite of photos.

The photos I have of the Dominican Republic were actually taken in the resort I stayed in with family in August of 2011. It was beautiful with very generous, excited, funny people and I had tons of fun there. If I could I would definitely go again.

Quote of the Day...Including Recent Photos

A week ago I was driving by with my sister on our way to get ice cream and I love the sunsets at this beach, so we pulled over and I took these three shots. Including some people that passed by (very James Bond-ish if I do say so myself ) while making the photos look nice at the same time. I took some shots of the beautiful sky over the beach, and the skate park where I always catch some awesome photos!!

Quote of the Day...With more to come

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
-Aaron Siskind

I wanted to start up with a "Quote of the Day" for everyday of the week because quotes really give me a different perspective on life and keep me inspired to do a lot of things and challenge myself. So maybe the quotes will give you some inspiration as well. Don't let anyone break your dreams to be who you are.

Well Look At That!!...More Photos

I took these photos yesterday, so there brand new (YAY!).
It's been awhile since the last time I took photos- August is more like it- so I wanted to start taking photos like I used to and get into going to different locations to capture a new place. It was a nice location, and had perfect lighting. I REALLY like how these photos came out.
