“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

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” ~Aaron Siskind


eins.
Christian’s the name and love is the game. Born in Kansas and raised everywhere from here to there; I am 27 with a quarter-life crisis in mind; I’m one of five left-handers in my family; I am the wife to a disheveled, but delectable and loveable man.

zwei.
I am Polish by blood, American by paper, and German by heart; I spent time in Germany as a child, and I wish I had stayed behind; Since I'm here: I seem to live the American way; a House, a Car, a Ridiculous commute, a Job, a Church, a crazy Family and endless amounts of Freedom; I hate the masses of those lacking intellect; I am a plethora of emotions, both good and bad; I live in the suburbs of Houston, Texas; and I donate blood whenever possible.

drei.
One of my greatest qualities is my ultimate desire to love those that I do; I give, I take, I make, I wake for those that I love; my philosophy is that the greatest gift in life is to love and be loved in return, nothing in life is meaningful without love; Love never fails. Love hurts, love has bad times and good times, but true Love, it will never ever fail.

vier.
I love all the random and little things of life. 30° weather in Texas, cheesy romantic comedies (if only to mock), obscure books, Jane Austen adaptations, warm socks on a cold day, sweat pants on the laziest of days, loud music, fun company, Rock Band drum solos, controversial conversations, phenomenal art, and core-shaking films.

fünf.
If I were to parallel myself with fictional characters of any type, I personally commit to identify myself as a detrimental mix of Elizabeth Wurtzel, Berenice Abbott, Coco Chanel, and Joni Mitchell. I am a Christian, yet a cynic; I am passionate, emotional, uncertain, selfless, fun, loving and Loved.

oh, and PS...
