If the blog looks a little weird, never fear. I'm about to begin the redesign process. I was going to wait until midnight so that I could hopefully do it when everyone was asleep (like people go to bed at midnight anyways ...) but I just couldn't wait.

day 181

black and white version:







The two year anniversary of me joining flickr and tumblr quietly occurred last week without even my remembering. The power of the internet is astounding; my life has changed forever because of those two websites. They opened my eyes to the world of photography and art in ways which I never knew existed, and even though I'm not as social on flickr as I used to be or should be, it and tumblr will always hold a special place in my heart.

p.s. in other news, I finally figured out the coding of how to be rid of the annoying border around all my photos. Success!

I spent a while blowing bubbles in front of the camera, and I just kept thinking, "Man, I should be doing something like this the first few days of the 365, not nearly 200 days in ..." But I am quite pleased with the results of my excursions. I think I'm a bit more daring when it comes to editing photos that don't include humans. So these photos are definitely experiments and maybe in the upcoming days I'll get even more creative with human subjects.

Miss Teen and Miss Alaska United States

A little over a week ago I had the privilege of shooting with Miss Teen and Miss Alaska United States, and since I just finished editing all the shots I thought I would share some of my favorites with you guys!





We went to the local library and ended up with a whole bunch of fun locations just around the building. There were fancy rooms inside the library, beautiful gardens and rivers all around, and there was even a carnival being set up! It was definitely photographer's heaven discovering all those cool backgrounds.






It was a fun day and I am super pleased with the results, and very thankful that they wanted me to take their photos. Discovering cool places around my city is definitely one of the coolest parts of being a photographer. If it weren't for clients, I wouldn't have known any of these places existed!
