For this contest. I'd been wanting to do this all month. Also much, much better when viewed on black.

This was insanely hard to take. Dangling my camera from a rope a mere inch above the water? Probably not the smartest thing I've done, but hey, I really love this one.

I won this. WON. I cannot express how freaking happy it makes me. I freaking adore Mariel's work, and now I can hang this next to some of my other favorite photographers.

What I really, truly dislike with a huge great passion? Being insecure. I don't think I'm alone this, human nature and all of that. When people ask what I do, I can without hesitation say that I am an artist, a photographer, that I am a part of a kickass magazine that I helped create. All at the same time, my heart is beating heavily in my chest, my palms are damp (please don't shake me hand after asking me that) and I strive to keep my composure to something, well, normal. Whatever normal is.

My best friend wrote something on my blog, a comment about who inspires her, and I swear I need to actually read that daily, because while I kinda freak out and go, you're too kind, I also can't help myself but to keep doing what I do. Because I have to. I *need* to see other people do what they do, which I get a little overboard in the "go check out this person's work because OMG" sometimes, but hey, I really mean it. I have this burning desire to see people succeed. It makes me happy. It also backfires in emotion circuits, but this is what chocolate is for, right?
