old poem

stumbled upon this in my journal and remembered it :

feeling so volatile and ill

the mirrors reflection serves too much justice

or not enough--

In a paradoxical world of self loathing and self righteousness,

I can not seem to find the love

I had once sought

for the insatiable desire of perfection;

I will be left alone in my unease,

to my dismay.

But, should it be celebrated?

My ego tells me so-

Longing for a beauty that is so unreal 

I begin to wonder if this is ever a life worth living;

or a love worth giving,

or a game worth winning. 

breathe in, breathe out

Still too hot to breathe here in Houston, as I continue to instruct my lungs to do so..

However, by staying inside i've had time to browse the infinite interwebs and have come across this stunning blog,

ORACLE FOX ::

not only are there pretty clothes but lovely photography work,

check her out!

hmph

I always love finding art I like from people in the midwest, my old home.

Its odd how I find myself missing it quite a bit these days, The extreme heat is beating more out of me than sweat.

I'm losing faith, gaining apathy.. trudging through air that doesn't want to be inhaled.

BUT, I hate to sound so negative, and unfortunately its all that's been flowing out of me recently..

As my cure, I was looking through this guy's work. It is so very simple and lighthearted, but has held my interest for the past hour and a half :) 

Thank you Brock Davis!

good day to whomever

Just stumbling around the internet and found these great photos!

I love the lonely feel of world without people, it seems as if the buildings and park benches are living their dreams by being so intimate with the wind

<3

Take a look at the technicolor sets, these are so great too, but I couldn't get over the great muted tones of the polaroid version

:)

If you haven't heard of Barbara Kruger, Take a look! 

She's such a great lady, who sort of forces you to turn around and look at how you fall victim to consumerism. Especially the way that females are and have been targeted throughout time. 

I love the reality of her work so much 

Here are a few of my favorites; 

hmm

It's been a slow few weeks for me, but I did find an old roll of film I thought I lost.

Heres a few photos:

I just wanted to showcase some of the great work my boyfriend does :)

These are some kaleidescope images he made of one of his friends photography (which is great as well)

Here is some of the collaboration:

I wish I could make them larger but, I'm still kind of figuring this stuff out :/ 

You can check out his flickr here & hers is here

Enjoy! xx

The first!

So here it is-- my first post; ever, literally. There's not much to say about myself other than my incomprehensible slew of aspirations that continuously roll through my mind, one day after another. I'm going at a crazy pace, which is why I'm here to document it. 

This is me and the loooove of my life! (Yes, he is well worth the five o's) The sweet, lovely, talented Topher Henry :)

Here's our baby boy Moe-- enjoying his most coveted item, the raw hide bone.

My posts will most likely be filled with my minute-long obsessions, life time loves, and simple little pleasures that I run into day to day :)

I hope they are enjoyed.
