intentional, deliberate + other dangerous words




are those words scary or what? I bet you're already as nervous as a cricket that I'm using those words. yes, I'm living on the edge. live on the edge with me! we can use the word intentional. it's cool. we're awesome.

anyway, I've been thinking lately, about how I take my pictures. I've been thinking about my style, my composition, my purpose and all that crazy jazz. I've come to some conclusions. conclusions, which are rather relieving, in that I don't have to wonder why I'm taking this picture, or what style I'm aiming for or who's picture I should make it look like.

taking my own pictures. it's so relaxing. photography style is like fashion sense. if you like polka dots and floral prints together, then wear them together! if you like navy and black together, rock on! it's the same with photography. rock it up.

and guess what? I love red bush tea. don't tell me you weren't dying to know that, coz I know you were.
and -squeal- the hobbit is coming out in 8 months. yes, I know. let's all gush about that together. speaking of which (actually it really has nothing to do with it), how do you like the new design? mooch around the new pages and be nosey. yay!



love you all.
be good, be intentional and drink tea with a squirrel.

  1. love these photos and love your design.
    i've also been thinking about how i take my photos lately, and how i want them to be more than a snapshot of something, but a moment, or art - something with meaning.

  11. I love the design cupcake. Made my day seeing it after a long day of political philosophy. Sneaky sneaky...it's changed since the screen cap! Hey! Is that a print out of something off pinterest I see in your journal? Do you do that often? I started writing down quotes into a notebook which I've dubbed my 'cheesy quote book'. Except the quotes aren't cheesy. I've come to the conclusion that I'm a notebook addict. Anyway, I'll run off before I write a full blown letter down here :D (Though I did manage to buy some a-ma-zing letter sets the other day...finally!)
