the girl with the string around her neck...

Ok, now don't get crazy about the title of this post...if you're a Rilo Kiley fan, then you know what its about.

BUT, I have decided to dedicate this post to the wonderful, talented, beautiful people that have graced my life. To give a little background for this image, its from an editorial shoot that I did for the coolest job I've ever had. We shot at my apartment, and I knew right away that I wanted this to be one of the shots.

This is my inspiration, dedication wall. It is a collection of images that I have either traded, or were given to me by fellow classmates. I can remember being in school and feeling this overwhelming connection with these people and that I was lucky enough to work with and be engulfed by. There have definitely been times in my artistic career where I thought I wasn't going to make it. But with the support and guidance of my friends and family I pulled through those times. There are still days where I get in a rut, but I always have the feeling in the back of my brain that snaps me back.

So I end this post with all my love and gratitude for those who help loosen the string.

If only I could Eat, Pray, and Love everyday...

Hey fellow bloggers.... so I have come to the conclusion that I can no longer stay away from the interweb. I was able to exnay Facebook due to the fact that my communication with friends and family needed to improve through a more tangible reality and not by the "poke" of a button.

So here I am. Soon to be a blogger. I shall try to stick with it, but for me, commitment is a little bit of a challenge. I figure writing is a good way to share with the world what goes on in my head and the actions that come of it. Not that this has anything to do with the fact that I'm currently reading Eat, Pray, Love...but it has occurred to me that the author has inspired me to write. Maybe write more about my adventures of living in Los Angeles, or maybe write more of my lack and lust of dating, or maybe just write about all the delicious things that I can shove in my mouth(food, people, FOOD!)

Wish me luck!
