Food For Thought

When did you last go out and commit to producing images that truly challenged you; images that the mere thought of creating them got you excited about getting up in the morning?

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.

The Chains of Technology

After being computer-less for nearly two weeks, I’m trying to play massive catch up. An engagement shoot, my Project 52/50, a last minute senior photo session and catching up my blogs. While on this hiatus (due to my charging cord going out), I realized how wrapped around technology I really am. Laptop, smart phone, tv, etc…it’s all a part of the daily life. But then, some of it is essential, whether many like to admit it or not.

Either way, I’m playing major catch up and yet again, I’ve broken the schedule of a photo project. But editing away and lots of post coming. Time to get back on track.

Project 52/50 - Week 5
“Peace” 
This week I had a great time photographing two friends of mine for their engagement photos. While walking around Little 5 Points (Atlanta, GA), I came across this little gem. Peace can be found at the most unexpected places. Mine is while I’m taking photos. It brings me peace in trying to find the perfect shot. Angles, lighting, aperture, ISO, shutter speeds all get me giddy and excited. This is truly a passion for me.

“Holding Hands” 
Of all weeks to do a “gay” engagement shoot, I got the pleasure of photographing two of my favorite girls. Their love story is truly something special and I think this photo expresses such. The LGBT community is making great strides in the “war on equality.” Step by step we are getting closer to being equal. Everyone deserves the right to marry…love is love.

Project 52/50 - Week 4

(a - top) “My Old Friend”

(b - bottom) “Old Paths”


This week, I couldn’t decide between these two photos (and yes I’m posting rather late). However, both of them go hand in hand with one another. The top photo is my old 35mm camera that I always used throughout high school and a year or so after. With that camera is when I truly fell in love with photography. As for the second photo, I used to take a lot of photos of the train tracks. They still have a very dear spot in my heart. I love using them in photo shoots and think they add something special and rustic to the shoot.


Today I’m spending the day editing photos of some baseball games and of some sorority sisters. This week has been slightly stressful with trying to juggle photos, Two Cubs Crafts & Design and sinuses due this lovely Georgia weather. However, I’m trying to push forward and be productive. Tomorrow should be exciting with marketing photos for Two Cubs and my Project 52/50 for the week.
You can check out Two Cubs at www.twocubscrafts.tumblr.com OR www.facebook.com/twocubscraftsanddesigns .
Also, today marks 3 weeks (I can’t believe it) that I’m Marlboro free.

Project 52/50 - Week 3
 “Water Color”
[This image is unedited. I just played with manual focus and wondered what the blurriness would look like. Turns out, I made a pretty water color photo. I personally love it. Look hard enough, there’s a man walking his dog in the photo. Taken at Piedmont Park - Atlanta, GA]
