Study for Self Portrait 1.

This photo is me looking at my reflection in the mirror, my features (as i refer to as extenal beauty) are nudging off of me; while my soul attempts to break free. It represents the struggle of getting in our own way, being trapped by the self we appear to be, and fighting to show the self that no one sees.  A desire to break free from our mundane mold.

it's aliveeeee. photo diary day 1.

my camera finally came in the mail, i ventured out into livermore as a one woman photographer/mua/stylist/model team and shot the first idea that popped into my head.  I have close to no idea what exactly i'm doing. figuring out my camera while unable to focus on my subject got a little bit tricky. The modeling and styling bits seemed to come natural to me, but understanding bright sunlight and wanting it to translate into something dark and moody is another obstacle. Still battling my brain against the sensor.. one day it will understand me.

nerdcore.

 "Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."
"…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’."
-John Green

stars aligned in the darkest hour.

an afternoon, high sun beaming into the living room, long faces all around, & nothing to do.
I said.. "hey can you stand against this wall and take your top off? Real quick".




we came from the north.

leads a glamourous life, it ain't much

join the dark side.

 Jobless with bits of sanity already drained from my mind, I bought a tri-pod, picked up my little camera and started shooting. Spontaneously, without a vision of the exact results, I grabbed make up, my lingerie bag, my old sony cybershot, bugged my wonderful roommates and..

Voila. Meet Priscilla
