PHOTOGRAPHY.

They say that pictures fade but memories last forever... I don't know how accurate that is these days considering the abundance of there is of disease, and memory loss. I often have a hard time remembering the movie I just bought tickets for as I sit in the theater watching previews. Our minds are strong, and willful, but often struggle with detail.

Photography has been a passion of mine for the past couple years, and more so for the recent previous 6 months. I have an obsession with discovering new cooking/baking, wedding, and photography blogs. To observe something through another person's "eye" is something I constantly try to do. Keeping and open heart, and mind, I believe, is something our nation needs to do more of. People get so hung up on religion, and power, we often forget that the differences is what makes American special.

SIDE-NOTE:

I should apologize for any randomness you may experience as you read some of my posts. Often, I tend to be on one path and then all of a sudden I went from explaining a new loved recipe to talking about the moon. Just go with it, I promise there's always a method to my madness...a good laugh or at least entertainment.

In my early photography years, as in snapping pictures of my girlfriends and I in high school at the beach, or my sorority sisters in college going to some ridiculous themed social with alpha, delta, (insert favorite fraternity here), I always was the one with a camera. I feel I should give a shout out, props to my father for that. Ever since I can remember, good ol' Jimbo always said "Make sure you take lots of pictures". Paying close to detail is something he values. Always appreciating the simple luxuries of life. Especially all the gifts of Mother Nature.Scenery is by far my favorite scene to capture.

The colors, natural skies, people, movement, reflections, stories... everything about scenic pictures consume me. As I mentioned I'm a tad obsessed with blogs. And one in particular is one of my Old guitar teacher's sister, Photography by Anjuli. She takes a ton of photo's for different occasions, most of my favorites are engagement or wedding photos. There is something romantic raw, and enchanting when you see two people in love captured through a photo. As if everything they are, and everything they have is right there for you to see.

RAW-ISK

Karl, my boyfriend and soul-mate (he just doesn't know it yet ha-ha) has a tendency to ask isk to the end of words, making up his own Karlisk language. Its odd, but at times, the isk is exactly what you need to get across what your trying to describe. Anyways, I feel that in the raw, a rawisk picture have you, is my most desirable scape. I know that professionals spend millions on photo shoots, to capture that right lighting and then edit for hours and hours. But to me, a true masterpiece comes from one shot, in the raw. Being able to capture that shot of emotion, love, lust, or what have you, is the only shot to be have. There's no way to produce true emotions like the ones you get from in the real.

Traveling is another one of my greatest passions. I love to travel and see people in their natural environments and capture their daily lives. Another culture is my motivation for taking pictures. I hope to travel and get the opportunity to experience other cultures. I believe that to experience is to live, and I have a lot more living to do.

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
