polaroids!!!!

I had to squeeze in some polaroids while i was shooting yesterday!

I love how they came out :)

Short post, but it will do. 

painting and pinups

i've been having this dream (day and night), where i meet again with the most memorable sunrise i've encountered in my life. the only way i could express how i felt about it was to experience it again thru painting,  so i'm posting a sneak peek. 

The little guy above i would normally be terrified by, but his eagerness to help me paint was quite cute, so i gave him a free pass for me not to scream and cry in horror. 

And here is a sneak peak at my painting....

I absolutely love painting, it is by far one of the most relaxing things for me to do, just me and the canvas. im emotionally connected to a more abstract feel, and a lot of texture, which i will show more of in the future....

now for some photography, here are 3 images from this past saturdays shoot at lasell college.

Thats about it for now. :)

Who am i?

I've been dealing with quite a bit of "who i am?" lately. I've tucked away in corners to avoid it all, and i've reached a point where it's not acceptable. I do strongly believe that everything happens for a reason, and one thing i do know is i am an artist. i may not be the most articulate person in the world, but i know how i feel and i can express it in all my mediums of work. (then i open my mouth and confuse everyone, and then myself hahaha) As it stands right now, in this point of my life, i feel like i have direction and the most sense of self i've ever had. it's scary and exciting. im working on two projects right now, and they are the stepping stones to my future and the first real tangible thing i will have to show for as to who i am, and opens the door for what comes next. both of my projects are extremely emotional and sentimental. one of these projects is so intimate, i'm not at a point i can share, and honestly don't know when that might happen might be weeks, might be months. i was recently told in class that the more i don't want to show something this personal the stronger its going to be, and i get it. i really get it. i have cried, i have dug. i feel really good about these, but they are so close to me right now, that it's not time to share quite yet. i feel optimistic of what's to come and who i will become...
