Change.

I got my very first all-on-my-own camera in the Fall of 2009. I ran out of things to capture around the house and so went on a bicycle-powered picture excursion across the neighborhood. I snapped photos of EVERYTHING. This is when I discovered my love of weird angles and super close ups and having one main part of the picture be clear and then fade into un-focusedness (insert smart sounding photography term here). This picture is one of the many fruits of that adventure. I realized I could show people MY veiw of the world through a lens.

I'm not so big on writing. It's always been a discouraging and frustrating experience for me. I tear apart my words until everything seems atrocious and I get stuck in my head, knit-picking and trying to get that perfect, profound sentence instead of letting the words come. No one is paying me to write, no one is counting on me to to be perfect, I'm not being graded on this material, it's my story, and my goal now is to let it be just that. Because of that, the direction of this blog is going to change a little. I want to write from my heart and my pictures

are a part of my heart, of my journey so combining them seems right. That's where I'm going with it, and I hope you enjoy coming along.
