I promise next post will be something other than this beautiful friend of mine!

attempting to edit.

So I just got Adobe Lightroom on my computer, finally, and I'm stoked. I haven't edited a photo for an entire year... I'm not exactly the photo-processing kind of girl, but I like having the opportunity to. So here were some attempts. Feedback is appreciated!






I'd love if you left a comment giving me some pros/cons. I love feedback! I'm learning so lay it on me.

life

Something wonderful happened yesterday... my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.

Introducing... Austin Christopher.

jumpers and snake skin

Yesterday I picked up my camera for the first time in a long time for a purpose other than taking pictures of drunk people at my parties.

Chelsea and I went on a small outing just as the sun was going down (which is why I didn't get very many great shots), but it was perfect, nonetheless, because it reminded me that no matter the issues I'm facing at any given time in my life, my camera is my ticket to take me away from all of that. I'm a little disappointed that I even needed to be reminded.

So here are a few takes from our day out.

fibers

I put this blanket down for a long time, but it's that time of year again to pick it back up. I always start crocheting again when the weather gets cold. There is nothing better than putting a good movie in and curling up on the couch crocheting a blanket that keeps you warm while you're doing it.

Literal

when they said he could walk on water
what it sounds like to me

is he could float like a butterfly
and sting like a bee

literal people are scary, man
literal people scare me

out there trying to rid the world of its poetry

while getting it wrong fundamentally
down at the church of "look!
it says right here, see!"

NOTE: I feel like if I lived in the time before the Bible was completely distorted by morons, I'd find it to be a beautiful book.
