Open Eyes

This is my friend Ed who so graciously chose to accompany me on a photo expedition through the shiftier parts of downtown. As a matter of fact, this photo expedition was the one in which I took my final project photos that you see below.

Open Eyes

After I finished school for the semester, I felt really restless. I was worried about grades coming in and about getting everything ready for the visitors we would be having so soon. I guess I felt like I needed some color in my life. Some brightness. So one day I was meandering about the house and found that I loved how the light was hitting the bananas. I took some photos and felt immediately more animated and serene than before. And that's the story for today. :)

Spontaneous Poetry

ephemeral escape
So I've been having to write quite a few poems recently and am now in the mood for it so I asked my friend to send me an image. Any image at all. I wanted to just kind of let my emotions out in a simple way. I've found that I love writing poetry that connects to an image. So here's the first attempt. Remember, they're not designed to be "good." They're just for fun and I try to do them quickly in free verse so that my emotions are more prevalent in the poetry itself.
Untitled 1
The light mixes
Orange and blue
Black with shadows
And the vibrance
Resonates with the sound
Of a glittering wind
Blowing across the glass-strewn desert
Picking up the shards as it moves rapidly
Through the valleys of slick stone
And finally reaching into the forests
Coating the trees with the colors of the world
Landscapes long forgotten by our people
Only the spirits of the ancients can recall
The days of glory
When all was bright
And generously colored with hope
Of a new beginning.

Jump For Joy

WeHeartIt
Do you ever just want to jump? I remember when I was young I used to jump off swings, down the stairs, around the house, etc. Do any of you have a favorite jumping moment?

The Fantastic Mr. Fox
Even though this has been out for a while now I still thought I'd share it with you. It's a wonderful stop-motion film based on Roald Dahl's novel. I highly recommend it!

Would You Believe...
That I have Nancy Drew's that look exactly like this? I love their old book smell. Gets me every time... :)
I've even got the occasional new edition mixed in there to fill in the gaps!
