If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don’t worry with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list

i did a picture really similar to this in my 365 days, but i think it has more meaning now that i can actually drive.

you run, you're free, you climb endless trees - you reignite.

plenty more from this photoshoot.

And if it comes to the rain, just be glad you'll smile again

for emotional days, white shirts, laura marling, peppermint tea, and messy hair.
last week's photo. this week's should be up whenever i develop film.

thanks to e for editing! <3

I'm posting this not because it was the best picture I took all week (because it wasn't), but it was the picture that captured this year the best.

I hope everyone had a splendid New Year. For me, this day was no more than me reflecting on the previous year. 2011 had been a year of growth for me. I changed and learned more than I ever had. I got deep into myself to find where I stand with religion and philosophy, and I started to accept myself and the people around me. i had the opportunity to shoot my two favourite bands, which was just as stressful and terrifying as it was exciting. i recognized my behaviors and how i react to certain things. my older brother and best friend went to college and i was left a family role i had never been in before. i had to say goodbye to my childhood sport, softball, because i had finally grown out of it. i struggled more in school than i ever had, but i found comfort in the midnight drives my dad and I would take blasting this very song. i learned the beauty in struggle and i learned to accept that there will be better days to come. i accepted that the little things are the best and by the end, I found happiness in silly things like the 'Dilly' by Band of Horses music video.

but mostly, i just grew.

that was the river, this is the sea.
behold the sea.
