California Dreaming

This year for fall break I was blessed enough to be able to go to California to visit potential schools and see my boyfriend Chance. It was awesome. I now have two schools left in the pool and I'm really excited. I can't wait to go to school and study photography, the thing I'm so very passionate about. Of course, seeing Chance was wonderful, amazing and just fantastic. We got to see "Where the Wild Things Are" and have been howling at each other since. :) After some critiques of my portfolio, I've decided to start working almost exclusively with film and see what the results are. I love working with my father's camera, it has so much history and nostalgia surrounding it. I love every little bit of photography and working hard to become better. Well, without further adou here are some of the pictures I shot while on my California trip!

Look at the rest of these pictures!

Haha! I wish that I could drive this little truck around.

Mmmmmm

I gave a homeless guy some money after he gave me this flower, so I decided that it needed some portraits too. It was so wonderful to indulge in generosity. Indeed, you should indulge in generosity too and check out the 365 grateful project by Hailey Bartholomew.

This little dock is so beautiful.

I'm beginning to experiment with found objects and messing them up like the representative at SFAI told me to. So far it's been fun!

A little overexposed, but I love this portrait of Chance.

new portrait?

What the heck!!!!!

This morning I woke up to this. It is October 10, not cool.

Finally!

I finally copy-cated one of my favorite shots from my favorite photographer- hailey bartholomew. Her work is amazing and inspires me every time I look at her blog. If I ever go to Australia, it's my goal to meet and have coffee with her. Yeah, that would be amazing.
