we shall dance in the light

day 109

I've been feeling down about my photography, as well as other things, so my boyfriend gave me a challenge . He did a 365 in 2011 and told me to re-create one of his photos. Well naturally I think a ton of his photos are awesome, so I'm starting a little series where I try to re-create some elements of his photos.

For this one I loved the color scheme as well as the box of the background coming though, so I played with my own cool toned scheme and the boxes. I really love how this photo turned out and hopefully this series will help me feel better about what I'm creating.

He also gave me a good word of advice. Basically he said to do whatever the heck I loved to do. It doesn't matter how many people comment or favorite, as long as I love what I'm doing nothing else matters. I hope to take that to heart.

here is Matt's photo. He is my biggest inspiration.

short weather?

eeee maybe not quite short weather just yet! But one can hope! I wore this outfit a couple days ago when it was sunny outside, and just yesterday the weather turned gross, but today the temperature was up in the 50s! Woah man! It's summer weather! Hahaha. I really wanted to go with a monochromatic theme with some pink lipstick ... so thank you Mommy for letting me borrow your shirt!

The lipstick is actually super old. I bought it for my mom a long time ago as a mother's day present (like when I was twelve, I think) and she never wore the crazy pink color, so eventually it made its way into my possession. Thus far I have had no success with lipstick that I'm really happy about. I really need some that will stay on all day. It's weird when I'm wearing bright pink lipstick in the morning and it's all rubbed off by the end of the day! I guess that's what I get for always buying the cheap brand though, haha.




How about you? Do you have anything that's found its way into your possession?

Anyways, have an awesome day!

just love

day 108

into the light

day 107

This is a bit of a stretch for my style, but still within the realm of it, I think.

The reason for this photo is that I have an assignment to design a cover for the book I'm writing and this is (nearly) the background image (the actual image is right below). I'm super pleased with how this turned out and maybe one day people will be able to hold it in their hands!
