Hi =)

I use smiley faces a lot when I write things online. =) yes.

Change has always been kind of hard for me, so I love taking pictures because it's a way of keeping things still, or at least slowing them down.

"Talk of yesterday and she will show her
brothers photographed in kalised clothes. Say tomorrow and she 'll say come find me, on a beach and there will be no moon. But say today and she may look your way and lead you home." --Iron & Wine : Communion Cups and Someone's Coat Lyrics

Sofi Anne says:

"Rachel is one of those artists, where anything she creates, is like a scene from an amazing movie. Her stream is almost like looking into a dream, where there's never ending corn fields, woods all silent & cold, an abundance of cats to forever cuddle & one of the most amazing girls I could ever hope to speak with. Don't ever stop doing this."

"WELL. Rachel/say.today takes the most endearing photographs of all time. Her pictures have so much character and they're like out of a dream. I always visit her stream because everything is so sweet and breathtaking. I literally gasped when I saw her most recent photos which prompted me to write this testimonial. She seems like such a bright and lovely person and her photos truly reflect that (:"

"Rachel has to be one of my most favourite Flickr friends I've made here.

First off, as soon as I saw one of her photos, I was so amazed by the quality, the tones, the expressions, and the vibe it gave out to the viewer. I was so blown away by her beautiful images in her photostream one by one that I had to add her as a contact. I knew I hadn't made the wrong choice because as time passed she never stopped producing the stunning images incorporated with her own style.

Secondly, her personality is amazing! She is so kind and likable, and also takes the time to type out the nicest and honest comments, as if you have been her friend for years. She has a heart of gold, and added with her experience and skills in photography, she has nothing to fear!

You are just amazing! :D"
