Support Our Troops

"Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines.."
I think sometimes people get so caught up in their convictions that they lose sight of the actual people who are affected. When people have these strong beliefs as to what is wrong and what is right they don't think in terms of the individuals who are actually living it. It's easy to say one thing, and to defend that belief and yet contradict it the second it applies to someone you know. Abortion, sex, drinking, drugs, racism, discrimination, war, it hold's true for all these things. I've always seen things this way, and I used to think it meant I was weak. I couldn't decide. I see now that my ability to be realistic enables me to be a better person. It could solve so much, if we could all open our eyes, if we didn't have to wait for it to reach someone we know or someone we love in order to be alittle more understanding.

Lately what's moved me is war. I don't support the war. Yet I can't sit here and say the war is dumb so I hate everyone involved. I support the troops. I support those men and women risking their lives, because they deserve that respect.

Universal Truth

What do you do when you can't make the suffering go away?
What do you say when you honestly don't know the way?
What do you give when what they need is more than you can pay?
What do you do when you want it to stop, you want it to be better, but you've run out of comforting things to say?
What do you do when tomorrow isn't coming soon enough, and it's hard living day to day?
You hope
You pray
You fight, because it's all you can do.

Beauty in Red

Another Red theme shoot

For the Love of All Things Red

Live Lovely

Only one thing makes a person stop and stare: something different, something unlike anything they have ever seen or something beautiful. Usually the two coincide. It's funny how those stares turn into dirty looks when it's between girls, because girls are such jealous creatures. When I look at these pictures I have to stop, and really look because this girl is art. All the other opinions don't matter, the proof is in the pictures. You can't hide that behind any fabric, it shows in every shot. These are the unedited versions.

The Devil Wears Colored Contacts?

Life's a little scary, and so are these pictures. Im a bit disappointed in them to be honest, oh well. It's a live and learn process. At least it's something I've never tried before.

Feel what i feel..

My theme portfolio for my final grade in photography is going to be on red. I've taken some photos already. The idea behind it is to show the many different things that can be associated with red. Right now I feel red is anger, love, and mystery... because I'm single again, and even though it was my idea it's never an easy process. :(

mexican jokes & lovers leap canyon..

I decided to take a much needed break on cinco de mayo. I went to Starved Rock in Uttica after my AP Spanish Exam and a brunch of panera bagels (soo yummy). The Delisi Sisters were the best people to go with, they are all about making things interesting.
