*Miss~Mikaela*'s photostream

~I LOVE photography...everything about it! I'm not the greatest, but I have a passion for it, so that counts for something, right?

I do loads of charity work...no joke....loads of it. I can't stay away from it...I can't sit there and do nothing when I can be out there making a difference. Right now I have one of each~ an organization, a foundation, & a fundraiser. I also have around eight awareness web pages. Please, no one try to tell me I'm amazing or whatever...that bugs me...I'm just doing my responsibility as a human being; doing what I can to help others and make the world a better place.

I have a very rare and very serious disease that will never go away. It currently prevents me from walking, attending public school, or being a "normal" teen....

Oh yeah, did I mention that? I just turned 13 =) Any pervs out there, don't try to pull any numbers on me...not going to work...you'll just get your sorry @$$ kicked and thrown in jail. Plus, I'm obese from the medications I'm on...my own father doesn't accept me, so there is no way you'd even want anything to do with me if you saw me. Got it?

Those who want to know what meds I take, I'll just tell you now. I take steroids (prednisone, just reached maintenance dose of 5 mg every other day) & methotrexate (a form of chemotherapy, 1cc injected once a week) along with loads of other meds for it.

If you want to know more about me (if you don't qualify as a sorry @$$ like I mentioned above who wants to pull a number on me) or any of my charity work/etc, just ask =)

I also have a fotki account I'm trying out...don't worry, I love flickr and will never abandon it! members.fotki.com/MissMikaela/

Victory is from the inside out. It isn't remission, or anything like that. It is how you fight, that you fight, don't give up, and don't let whatever you're fighting define you that makes you victorious. Join me & be victorious...from the inside out ~My motto...please don't take =) thanksies!


"Photography is the beauty of life, captured." - Tara Chisholm

"You don't take a photograph. You ask quietly, to borrow it." ~Author Unknown

"I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it." ~Author Unknown

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” -Elliott Erwitt


***NOTE***
I recently discovered that someone had blocked me, and I just wanted to clarify something.
I love browsing photos, and I do a lot of searches. If I come across a picture I like, I'll look through the person's photostream. Kind of like surfing YouTube. You look at one video, you like it, so you look at some other ones by that person. You see a "related video" that sounds interesting, so you watch it, and it goes on. I spend hours doing this on Flickr. I love commenting on people's pictures, too. It's just the way I am. I love telling people that I like their pictures. Please do not think I'm some crazy stocker commenting on all your photos. I'm not. I just enjoy looking at people's photostreams. No ulterior motives, just a kid who likes good photography =-)
