day 142

My brother finally got a facebook and actually wanted me to take photos of him. Lauren, giving people awesome profile pictures one photo at a time.

But in all seriousness, I'm getting sick of gimp. It is pretty good, but I'm just aching to use photoshop again. Matt told me that he missed my conceptual photos and I do too. I guess my brain has just shifted from being 365 inclined to being 30 day dress challenge inclined (with a dash of graduation thrown in). It's not a bad thing because I've been loving the dress challenge, but I do miss coming up with a good concept for a 365 and actually doing it. Perhaps I'm also bitter about hardly ever having models to shoot. But I guess that's one of the downsides to taking a photo every single day--you don't have a closet full of people to just pick and choose from. That's one thing I'm excited about for summer though; I'm hoping to get lots of shoots in and meet more people and go on more adventures and just live life. It's my last summer in Alaska before college, so I'm going to milk it for all it's worth.

Well I think I'm beginning to ramble, plus it's almost time for bed, so I suppose I should stop typing and making spelling mistakes because I'm so tired.

Have an awesome day everyone!

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Twenty One

the dress: as skirt // sweatshirt: from parents // shoes: target




Today has been a lazy day, hence my lazy outfit. My grandparents bought my entire family sweatshirts with our name on it, so I've been wearing it pretty much 24/7. I ran a few errands with my grandparents and spent some time signing up for my classes for college. The fall is going to be super busy, but I am incredibly excited for college.





Please continue to donate the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls' education in Africa.

Have an awesome day everyone!

Graduation Party

Yesterday was the official graduation party put on by my school. Therefore it was pretty uneventful, but parents brought the food and my mom made her amazing macaroni and cheese, so the night was not lost.








My friends and I did just a little bit of exploring around the area and found these cool old bunkers. I wish we could still go inside them because they would have been so cool for photoshoots.





I wish the weather had been nicer (I swear I always talk about the weather on this blog ...). It was freezing! Man, the couple weeks of warm weather we had really turned me into a pansy when it comes to normal 50 degree Alaskan weather. Oh to be under clouds. (Currently though it's threatening to be sunny, so perhaps it will be warm yet.)

day 141

Today was the official graduation party put on by the school, but quite honestly I hated it because only a handful of people from my class actually like me. At least it's summer now and I can put school behind me, except right now I have an awful stomach ache and headache, so hopefully it doesn't develop into a real sickness.

I hope you have an awesome day though. :)
