new to you

i.......did this self portrait awhile ago - but its new to you. I found this awesome spotlight at a rummage sale for pretty darn cheap. and I had wanted to use it for a neato self portrait. My idea was to look like I was primping with the harsh light, make it look oldish, or movie-ish. But it didn't look right, so I started throwing cotton balls and I got a "done with primping" look.
I like it. I am in a sad state of not shooting pictures a lot lately but I want to... My goal tomorrow, shoot something, I have the day off!
i like it in color and B & W...............

I don't deserve.

I am a romantic. and its my fault? is there a romantics annonymous? how many boys have i "fallen" for...? millions... not really but a lot.

how many times did i want to work no matter what...? once.

am I still a romantic after all that? at the moment no, but will I be again? most likely.

here is an oldie but goodie, on a film camera. I liked him once, surprise.

I think that God has more in store, maybe break me down, and then I will have different expectations, but he will grant me the romance I desire.

God is a God of hope and restoration. thankfully.

this came out of nowhere, sorry just started typing.

Tonight

Tonight I went to the chapel. I hiked up its hill, to the spot I knew it would be. waiting for me. It holds so much. I love that place. It is not something you can describe. My mothers choir sang to spirited gospel songs and I was moved. By God, by the beauty of the place, by memories of the place, and by hopes for the place.

Senior Portrait Craze - Always Sept

Well I tried to scrounge up some senior portraits, but not many takers... Parents these days, buy their own camera, take their own pics. Smart really. But helps me in no way. Oh well. Maybe next year.

Rachel and I had fun playing with colorful baloons, an abandoned house at a winery, a tree swing older than her, and the fish eye lens..

Well, first day

Welcome to my photography blog site.
pictures soon to come.
thoughts too
