i last updated my journal a year ago, so i guess it's only fair to let you know what's going on.

i moved to NYC and i'm going to school for photography here.

my deviantart is kind of embarrassing but i'm going to leave it up. i think it's important to have a log of my progress.
hope all of you are having a wonderful year.

see ya there!

i think i'm back on my feet.


the last semester of school destroyed me.
I struggled like no other with AP art history, but made it thorough with a C.
never thought i'd say i would be ok with a C, but in that class, it's an accomplishment.

i've made new artsy friends, and they are some of the most genuine and kind people i've ever met.
i'm so glad i've found these people. they've inspired to do and create more than i ever thought possible.

all sorts of new doors are opening.
i'm transferring schools. two years in one school, two years in the rival school. i like to mix it up.
makes high school that much more entertaining

i assisted a local photog. in a wedding on saturday. i learned so much. i'm so grateful she called me in need of an assistant
also glad i got that in before Lydiah and i shoot a wedding by ourselves next week. we're scared, but it's a good kind of scared.

so to sum it all up, this summer is going to be one big adventure.
i'm shooting film whenever i can, and i love it. each photo means so much more when you know it's one of the 24 on a roll.
can't wait to share all of this with you. it's going to be as lovely as can be.

right before school starts, an exchange student is arriving from Norway to live with us for the whole year.
her name is Margit, and she's super awesome. we're all insanely excited for her to get here.

expect lots of adventures with her.
she likes photography, and i'm sure lots of interesting things will happen
what an amazing time this is all going to be.

take care everyone, can't wait to talk soon!

i love justin bieber
