I wish I was a photograph
tucked into the corners of your wallet
I wish I was a photograph
you carried like a future in your pocket
I wish I was that face you show to strangers
when they ask you where you come from

things to take into consideration:

i am striving (starving) to better my (he) art

i write, i take pictures and i travel. i meet people, i talk to strangers, i try to improve my heart, mind and soul daily with knowledge and inspiration and curiosity. i am madly in love, i have found my soulmate, i practice lucid dreaming. i read books, i keep a journal full of quotes and i'm always looking for beauty in the midst of destruction. i am not perfect and i never will be. i am everything, i am nothing and i am far from done here.

    "Ive know oolie since she was 17 or 18, and she has always been the coolest person to hang out with and always intriguing and eye catching. Though she may not realize this;) She is very talented at writing and photography, she is very beautiful of body and mind and will always keep you on your toes;)"

    "oh Juliette...to only to have known her a very short while, I feel like we've known each other a long time. She is a breathe of fresh air with a sweet soul and it seems we have so much in common. I see us being friends for a long time. And, how psyched am I that she lives so close?? NOLA trip is in the works...
    I walk through her stream and get lost. She is honest and creative and allows us in with every photo that she takes and this is something that I like that a lot. I also like how she intertwines her writing with her shots and tells a story. Another thing i love is how she doesn't over edit.. She keeps it simple. I've looked at some of her images multiple times and would gladly come back and look more, as well as recommend her to others!! Please check her stuff out! You won't be sorry!
    Thank you, Juliette, for walking into my life!"

    "juliette is a beautiful girl in love. Her stream is a pleasure as she shows many sides of herself from her wit to her thoughtful writings to the intimate moments she shares with her man. I adore the way she often uses her long limbs to stretch across the frame much like the gorgeous landscapes she captures. I'm so glad we came across each-other, I'm keeping an eye on this one :)"

    JDAC says:

    "Juliette is unlike most photographers on flickr, posting a new slice of life every few days instead endless bombardment (like me!). It's clear she takes her time to craft her images, sometimes giving them some effective post-processing, other times leaving them raw, but always telling a compelling story.

    More so, I always look forward to her thoughts on my photos, offering excellent advice and providing some hints and tips on improving things in ways I would not have thought of.

    Juliette rocks, I think you'll agree with me!"

    "(her stream is an art zoo where all the animals are still free). oolie is one of those artists that is raw and timeless, classic and fresh - all in one. i have always enjoyed her stream as one of my favorites. i love that her art is so simple and unique, not over-edited and photoshopped -- but true, real talent that is hard to come by these days. i never get tired of coming back to look if there's new photographs from her. her writing, her spirit, her passion and her photographs make up pieces of one of the best people i've ever met in my whole life. i'm blessed."
