i'm really into text + photoshop lately, possibly because i have nothing better to do? i want to go home and i hate it here. but anyway, texture on photoshop layered on top of original photo and then history brush used to make it look more natural and bring back the original photo. font is "bell mt" ! and this is my mom holding a heart shaped rock we found at the beach here! :)

"you cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore"

last night my parents and i went to nubble light house at golden hour and i snapped this photo. then today, i found this quote and i had to combine the two. this is how i feel and this is how i felt when i looked out at the water. for those of you who don't know, i recently moved from my childhood home of eighteen years in texas to maine with my parents. it is one of the hardest things i have ever had to do. i am completely out of my comfort zone, 1,942 miles out of it to be exact. but it's little things like the nubble light house at golden hour that make it worth it and help me to realize that there are so many new oceans that i have yet to discover and that even though texas was good to me, it's time to move on.

this is me! a lot of the following pictures are old, since february/march of this year but i've been busy and i took a break from flickr. i moved to maine about two months ago with my family. this picture was actually taken in new hampshire because the town we live in is right next to it. anyway, take a look at my new stuff! well, new to you guys anyway. let me know what you think!
