YOU SMELL THAT?! YOU SMELL THAT? That's Inspiration!
Faeries have always been a source of inspiration for me, and while reading Going Bovine, I was sincerely touched by the character Dulcie- the punk rocker angel. And guess who is camped out in my room right now, refusing to leave? Yeah, that's right. Dulcie! Well, not really Dulcie, but a faerie version of her. She's here to bring me tons and tons of creativity, and dude, it rocks. I mean, God only knows what she's going to help me produce. I have my own awesome muse camped out in my room, and she doesn't want to leave. She says she's mine :). Yeahhh, baby! I don't even know if I'd let her leave after expericing this! She may end up like this girl:
The surge of creativity she has washed over my brain is otherworldly; I can't stop thinking of various photo-shoot ideas: poses, outfits, scenery, etc. I'm plotting and planning and simply going crazy! I've been at it for hours. My mind is spitting out ideas like a huge hulking machine gun, and I am extremely excited about getting started on all of the various projects... Unicorns vs. Zombies, bedroom scenes, faeries, gothic brides, levitation, angels of death and life, country livin', various portraits, and tons more! I can clearly see myself snapping away with my Nikon at a bunch of different angles- capturing some amazing stuff.
It's time, guys. It's time to begin a new path: a path that is going to lead me to the life of a photographer. I can't wait. I can't effin' wait!
Get ready because I will be a most formidable force. I swear by it.

Click, Click, FLASH!
Today I actually was able to fully use my new camera. The experience was orgasmic. Like, seriously. Using this camera was such a great experience; I do not have any idea how I survived just using a digital camera before. I took hundreds of pictures (I think 600). Some were good, and some were fantastic. I deleted most, but I saved around 15. The following six pictures are the elite of the group- at least, I believe they are. I hope you enjoy!
BRILLIANT PHOTOS FROM 7/28

Photography: The Importance of the Art
For a length of time, I’ve always thought the main purpose of photography was simply to express oneself artistically. This way of thinking has changed recently though. While I still believe this is true, I now believe that photography is more importantly a means to capture the most beautiful, memorable, thought provoking, and emotionally captivating images.
My mood has not been that great these past couple of days; I have been in a rut of sorts. Nostalgia and longing controlled me, and it wasn’t until I began looking at some of the beautiful pictures that I have taken that I realized the gravity of my entire situation. I was upset about a situation that I truly should not have been distressed about. Dwelling on a negative occurrence is not good at all, and I was doing just that. My inability to look past one of my darkest moments was putting a toll on me, but after looking at the pictures, I realized (once again) that the most important things in life are the moments that make everything worth whatever hardships I have to endure. Essentially, it's the beauty of the world.
Reveling in the beauty of the world is quite easy because I have captured it; I have made it my own; I have preserved it. Perhaps I’m generally just a sentimental person, but every time I look at the photos, feelings of euphoria rush over me. I tend to find beauty in a lot of different aspects of life. I have pictures of people, landscape, cookies, cars, clothes, beer cans, memories and so much more, and all of these photos provide me with joy.
This way of thinking about photography may be normal for most people; however, it is a new discovery for me. I hope it is promising and works in the future. I know I will most likely return to the rut that I was just in, but hopefully, my photography can help me through it again. Perhaps my photography can also help others as well. It is a dream of mine for others to see the beauty that exists in the world and to learn to appreciate it. If my photography can positively affect at least one individual, I can die happily :D
