"That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Easter!!

Between seeing new friends and old, celebrating my birthday early, and simply thinking about what this holiday truly stands for I’ve been thinking quite a bit about where I’ve been, what I’ve done, and who I’ve met. It’s always been fascinating to me to think about how a person can change in only a year.

In the spirit of remembering and reflecting, I’ve gathered a few photos that I’ve taken in the past (no specific timeline). I can, however, assure you that these were not taken on my Canon EOS T2i. I think they are primarily camera phone pictures. And hopefully the alignment will work for the comment/picture placement – fingers crossed!

First off, ladies & gents.. a picture I took while sitting in the car outside my mother’s doctor’s office. Yes, I know – way more detail than necessary. 🙂 Note to self: You’re creativity thrives in moments of boredom.

Next is actually a painting I did in the 7th grade with my favorite phrase cut up, laying on top. Nothing like mixed media!! 

This picture is of my most-prized piece of what I’ve deemed “Sharpie Art.” I was a band geek for 3 years and music has always meant a lot to me. This is the best way I’ve found to express that. 🙂

 I visited the greatest family ever (that I used to babysit for) last summer. We took a number of little trips while I was there. One trip was to a little island called Boy Scout Island. The boys ventured off into the “crazy jungle” and the girls hung out in the boat. I took pictures!

 This was a picture I took on my way to visit the aforementioned family. I traveled by train, – Angels & Airwaves keeping me company on my iPod, while reading Eat, Pray, Love. Oh the details.. I’m a self-professed elephant – I’ll remember details until I leave this earth.

I was the proud director and subject of this photo shoot – graduation pictures! My daddy was the photographer. He did a lovely job with this picture, if I do say so myself. 🙂

I have a fascination with taking pictures while in my car. This particular picture has always been a favorite of mine! Powerlines and all. 🙂

My best friend and I were cruising the streets of a nearby neighborhood and stopped to take a picture of what is going to be his future home..like way, way off in the future.

Love the  beach! And especially the sea shells!! Not to mention B&W photos! That is all. 🙂

And to close out this look at past photos, a picture of where I’m headed – Sleepy time! I have an odd habit of taking pictures of pillows. This happens to be one of those pictures.

I’ll hang on to these photos for as long as possible. I love looking at documentation of where I’ve been and thinking of how far I’ve come. One of the many reasons I love photography!

Nightnight!
