The theme for this week’s project 52 is
Alone. Pardon the brief exposé, but I’ve thought about this topic a time or two. Psychology is really interesting to me. :)
An aspect of loneliness that I find fascinating is that you can be on a busy street, subway, library, or [public area], be surrounded by people, and yet still be alone. Loneliness is a weird thing. You can have more wealth and things than you know what to do with but even as tempting as things may be, the result is not happiness. You can’t buy friends, only “friends.” Fame also isn’t any sort of solution. You can be amidst people (fans, even) trying to meet you–building you up with nice words–and still feel alone.
The solution is relationship. Don’t network–connect with people. Do things that matter. God’s ways are higher than our ways, His plans bring more peace and contentment than anything we can ever try to come up with.
That’s my thought of the day. :) Be sure to check out Mark Gregory’s version! :)

Life is so full of change and ups and downs. My mind can be so fickle some times. I love being around people, I need to be alone. I believe that talent is not limited by things, yet I want more things. I believe in the importance of a simple life, yet I can’t stop moving and just enjoy the moment and the blessings of life.
Yet through every struggle, the ever simple truth resonates that God is sovereign and over everything. And His plan is higher. No matter how much I try to control, that truth remains.
A few good reads:
Neat projects I’ve come across:
And… some recent personal photography:
Enjoy the simple things. Do things that matter. Treasure your relationships.

Continuing on my quest for creating unique and different–here’s some of my favorites from a portrait project. Kallsy and Logan are awesome people and subjects. :)
Yep, they’re cool. :)

I’m back after a blogging hiatus. It’s been a busy time, but I’m back! =)
The theme for this week’s project 52 is love. My favorite type of photography is of people in love. I love to be able to see the feelings, emotions, and the dynamic between two people in love. When I capture that feeling into a photograph, that’s when it clicks. And that’s what I aim to create.
However, here’s something completely different: light painting!
I got by with a little help from my friend, Ben. A completely normal thing to create. :) After getting this shot we just experimented with other things…
Be sure to check out the photography circle…starting with Patti Crump.
Love strong.
