5 Things

...that caught my eye this week.

1.) Was watching ANTM re-runs, and this pretty lady was teaching the models burlesque. Dita has the most incredible style, and she's always been a little girl crush of mine. :)

2.) Need this in my mouth, now. So pretty.

3.) Beautiful domes, and Euro architecture. A constant reminder of my need to visit Italy, France, and England.

4.) Coolest laptop case I have seen in a while...

5.) The cutest little house.


Hope you're having a lovely week. :)

Best Halloween Ever

Tank Girl+Tron Horse=Mega Mega Love

My lovely boy made me this gun! He stayed up nearly all night working on it. :)
And I'm pretty sure I squealed a little when he gave it to me. The sweetest.
AND he made me dinner. Sghetti & Meatballs, YUM!
Was nice to spend my favorite holiday with my favorite boy.

Happy Halloween! :)

Pioneers

I've finally decided on a final portfolio project for Photography.
My concept is Pioneers: Revisiting the New Frontier & Connections Made in Modern Obscurity.
Yes, I know it's wordy. :) But basically, it's just about family, and friends, and the modern "tribe" that we create.
I want my photos to be primarily portraits of my loved ones, mixed with some of autumnal nature.
I have to shoot 10 or more rolls (yikes) so I've definitely got my work cut out for me.
I think diffused light is going to suit this concept a bit better than high noon harsh lighting, so I'm going to aim for late in the day-early evening, mostly shot in the woods. I want to emulate the work of Sally Mann (minus the inappropriate child nudity haha) so I'm writing my research paper on her.

Here is some of her work....





















Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but I think there's something beautiful about her work.
And here's the poem that sort of spurred my vision.... in a Levi's commercial! Ha :)



We'll see how it goes. :)
End of semester is way too stressful. I wish there were more hours in the day.

Too adorable.

5 Things

It's been too long. <3

1.) Rediscovering an old favorite. Well, not really "rediscovering."
I am very much aware of my love of Watchmen. It's my favorite graphic novel,
and was, long before the movie.
But the other day I was reminded of my favorite chapter, and how it makes me cry every time, and how silly that is.
But it's beautiful. You should check it out.




2.) I conquered a bottle of this IN A DAY. I swear there are some sort of amphetamines in there.
Sooooooo good.


3.) I am so fascinated by this portrait of Picasso.
I love how this drawing wouldn't have been captured without the art of photography.


4.) Andrew Bird. This album, particularly. I listened to it a couple autumns ago, and I think it's time to own this one on vinyl...


5.) Holy cute, Batman! And so yum! Baby Ben & Jerry's. $1, 100 calories. Sold.


Love, M

Today's the Day :)
