little hands

For some reason or another I get to babysit the cutest kids ever. I've already babysat them once this week and get to do it again today! They give me the perfect excuse to play games and watch cartoons and at the same time act like an adult, which is fun for me.





Whenever I look at children, I often wonder what they'll be like when they're teenagers, adults. I think it would be terrifying to be a parent, praying and hoping that your kids will end up okay, wanting to give them the best and being protective of them, but at the same time giving them freedom. I bet it's one of the scariest things in the world, raising kids. But I cannot wait for the day (in the distant future) when I get to raise a family. It will be a fantastic adventure.






I especially love children's point of view. They look at the world like it's full of magic. It's sad to think that some people lose that mindset. I hope as you go through your day today you'll notice just a little bit of magic. :)

the university

Last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I traveled to my college for a scholarship competition. It was one of the best weekends I could ever have that involve school and it made me very excited to start college in the fall!


My view every morning.









The security guard got his picture taken too!





I was pretty much in heaven in the art room.



My dad and the car he got to drive around in for the weekend.

day 47



I am so thankful for my sister. She was actually enthusiastic about taking this photo. It's so much easier to shoot models than myself (especially when crucial pieces to my tripod are missing in the depths of my room). I think this is the most extensive edit I've done with a photo of someone other than myself. I'm still trying to find a balance in editing, however, with photos looking too fake, since some people are very critical of that. And to an extent I agree with them. This is a learning art though, and to be honest I'm completely amazed that I was actually able to create the image above (in a few weeks I'll probably look back with disdain, haha. So it goes).

But a major thanks to my sister for modeling for me. Hopefully she and more of my family members will pose gladly!

a simple hello

day 46



Today I got to babysit three adorable kids.
