Girls on Film

I have a shoot this morning! So excited, haven't taken a photo in what feels like years (it's been about 3 months). Today I'm doing something a little different from normal, it's going to be more editorial and fashion related, I also be doing some black and white shooting. I'm excited to experiment with different types of photography. I've been studying W magazine and Vogue, as well as looking through Pinterest for inspiration. 

Inspiration Board, if you want to check it out :) 

I'm hoping this goes well, I feel like I've been in a little bit of a creative funk lately. However I'm almost positive that it has to do with the weather. 

Like jesus, make up your goddamn mind! Want to be warm one day and give me the faintest of hopes that it's starting to get nice out then...

BAM! 

You rip that tiny ray of sunlight away and replace is with a planet Hoth style blizzard. Come on Mother Nature, what the hell are you doing? 

I have a lot of ideas for photoshoots but they all are outside (seeing as I don't have access to a studio or empty rooms) and most of my current inspirations involve water. Unless I find a really cool model who wants to risk contracting hypothermia for the sake of art, I'm going to have to wait a bit to start my projects. 

Luckily I do have an idea that I'll hopefully be working on soon that involves intense face makeup (something I haven't gotten a chance to do yet!) and the USS Salem. A friend of mine, who has modeled for me in the past, her dad has extended a pretty sweet offer to me that I can't really pass up. I'm really excited for that opportunity and to see what I can do with it! 

I'll be sure to put up a post about how the shoot went today as well as some photos from the set, I'll also link my two photography pages incase anyone is interested in seeing more of my work. 

Well time for me to head out, hope my camera is charged ;) 

The Mountain Goats- No Children

A really good friend of mine just sent this to me. An ex boyfriend of mine, who also happens to be a really good friend. A really good friend in the way of this song actually. Pretty much sums up our relationship. I highly suggest playing this for a loved one or a dear friend of yours. It's really quite touching.  

Back in the USSR (sort of)

Woah, haven't been here in a while.

Well I was looking back at my old posts and noticed that I was a pubescent middle schooler apparently.

Fuck that.

Let's not going back there, sounds like a pretty good plan. My life is pretty decent right now. I was accepted to my top school and got some money for tuition so I can actually go there, that's quite exciting. It's in California. San Francisco to be exact. Let's see how I fair in art school all by myself with no one around to remind me that I have to actually do my work. In order to keep my scholarship I have to maintain a 3.0 average GPA. I can't be the only one doubting myself, I mean come on... I barely graduated high school.

I suppose however getting into college without a school system of help was a kick in the pants and I did take the initiative to apply on my own without anyone saying that I should. I also picked the location on my own knowing fully well what will come with being across the country from my family and friends. It's an adventure that's for sure, always been one to jump feet first into the deep end. No toe dipping for me.

Aside from school and such I guess I should write about my current interests. I was recently invited by a friend of mine to come see him play a show in Wareham, MA where I was introduced to my new favorite band.

Kingsfoil.

I haven't stopped listening to their music since the show. I had never heard of them prior to that, and I was unfairly deprived of awesome music. No matter my mood it's just always playing. I hope I can see them one more time before I go off to school, they unfortunately don't tour out west :( But you know maybe they will someday. They're all wicked nice guys and they're really talented and deserve every ounce of fame they'll gradually gain. Oh and as an added bonus their drummer is none other than Agent Cody Banks. Ya that's right, I met Frankie Muniz at the show. Had to really use the little self control I posses to keep myself calm, cool, and collected. Well, let's be honest, I'm never any of those things. I just used Herman to break the ice.

I didn't have Herman last time I posted! I'll be sure to do a separate post all about him. For now though I think that pretty much wraps up this quick update. I'm sure it's scattered and anyone reading it is probably developing ADD as we read. However don't worry I can assure you...

It will only get worse :)

p.s. here's a picture with me and the guys from Kingsfoil. We all look possessed.

Etsy

Oh my goodness! So lately I've made an Etsy account after watching so many youtube video's about Etsy being this awesome place to shop. I had been on there a couple of times when I was younger and didn't really understand the draw. I understand it now. I am obsessed!! There is no need to shop anywhere else from now on. There's jewelry, makeup, face products, bath products, hair products, clothes, shoes... just everything! And it's all handmade and completely worth the money. Everything is so inexpensive that it really makes no sense to shop anywhere else haha. There's everything you could ever possibly want. Honestly go now! Go check out Etsy it is the greatest site EVER!
