the eleven

As of right now, if everything goes as planned,  I will be moving out to boulder, colorado on May 29 to live with my brother.  I have been wanting to live out there for a while now, and since I will be graduating at the end of the semester, the time is perfect to make my move.  I realize it will be a struggle in the beginning to get settled in and feel comftorable in my new surroundings, but the only thing holding me back is myself and I feel that I am ready for this new chapter and challenge in my life.  It won't be difficult leaving my parents, as they are completely supportive of me moving out west and seeing what I find.  They themselves have lived in a combined 8 different states on both coasts during their lifetimes, and know how appealing it is to move west at a young age.  And as far as my friends go, my brother said it wonderfully by stating "make sure their arent any burnt bridges between you and the ones your leaving behind." So in this photo I am leaving everything I have ever known behind, and getting ready for a new beginning.

Week 10

I finally got photoshop on my laptop.  I can now edit photos when Im not in class or at the open lab, its great! 

Anyway, I think overall this photo is necessary.

Week Se7en: the conscience of someone i love

for this weeks portrait I decided to take a photo of myself as the conscience of someone that is very dear to my heart.  this person has an incredible spirit and has the ability to befriend just about anyone and make them feel great about themselves.  his words and actions can inspire anyone to get on up and give all they have to give.  he has opened the doors of my perception and I have felt the highest high, and the absolute lowest low because of him.  the way he makes his way of living is all on him, but does hurt the ones who do care for him.  sometimes I hope that he will wake up before he loses it and falls out for good.  we have had some great memories together which all seem like a dream to me now; you did in fact drive 24 hours from the rockies to the pacific so i woudnt have too, I did return the favor six months later northeast when you were dreaming away in the back seat, we really did hitchhike the entire length of canyon road, and we did find comfort in that filed with the other ones.  sometimes i wonder if you really are happy with the ones you surround yourself with, and if your not i hope you can find your own way through the clutter and madness of those high rise mountains you call home.  remember how the song goes "when life looks like easy street their is danger at your door".  and never forget: we do love you!!!!!

Week Six: Jellyfish

"my brain is just a jellyfish in the ocean of my head        'cause I drank too much tequila and I woke up seeing red     now all I really want from life is to crawl back into bed                      on account that my brain is just a jellyfish in the ocean of my head"        
~Jellyfish by The String Cheese Incident~

Ever feel like there is just too much going on and its hard to concentrate on just one thing, while not worrying about everything else that your thinking of. Or how bout when its impossible to concentrate on anything.
This is the scattered feeling I get every now and then.
