If I have never learned film, I really wouldn't understand how amazing photography really is. I know I don't really work with film this past year, but thats mainly cause of my laziness and I have a separate blog that is kinda like a personal journal I work on durring this class a lot, so I chose digital all the time now.

But honestly, the work that people put into their pictures when it comes to film, really does show a much deeper passion in my mind to photography. I get that digital has a few more open and easier ways of doing things then most of film does, but I don't know. To me, my opinion is I personally love film photographers work better then those of digital usually.

Oh look! It's a wild A! GET IT NOW!!!!

In searching and shooting the letters I have so far....I've realized something. A lot of my projects are either half fast or extremely dull and ordinary. At least in my mind. So with this, well the remaining 21 shots I have to take of the rest of the alphabet, I'm gonna at least TRY to think outside the box. 

Since my idea was to shoot nature shots (oh what a surprise...) when looking around for letters...I'm gonna try using stuff we SEE outside. Nature and weather and all. I don't quite know if it'll work, but Imma try. :D Puddles, leafs, animal tracks, clouds....cha. =]

As for right now....I have"

A poem I thought of because of P!nk's song "Fucking Perfect"

I'm starting to think
Could it be true?
What everyone thinks
Of who I am
Who I act
And how I am

I know not everyone's right
I know everyone's unique
And honestly?
I fucking love how I became

There will always be those times
Where I hate myself
And deep down,
I always truly will

But just like people move on
And go with the flow
Until that day finally comes
Where everything's just about to end
And we learn who we really were
And who we really are
I'm following how things go

I'll always be who I think I should
I'll always be who I know to be
And I'll simply always be me

Everyone's got layers
Many of which their scared to show
Trust takes time
And with time, separation begins
So how about this?

Be you
Now
Stop caring
Have fun
And enjoy your time

Cause right now
I know I'm right
God dammit
I know I'm righ

Photo Journalism

I would really not enjoy nor want to be a photo journalist. It's just not something that would fit me too well. Not at all actually. I wanna be up front experiencing things, not just taking & looking at pictures of what I could've gotten a better experience out of doing.

I'm sorry if this would be offensive towards anyone. I really don't mean anything by it, but because of my strong want to not be a photo journalist.....I can't think of anything other then zombies because of my friends conversations....(Randy&Darien) But cha. I apologize for this but it's simply my opinion.

Though....if I could be a photo journalist....Thanks to the idea from Randy.....I would love to be a photo journalist for a Zombie Apocalypse! :D Like....damn. That would be amazing. It'd be like...a different version of the game Dead Rising! =] Taking photos from a real life zombie apocalypse! :D Zombieland! XD

But since that is only "imagination"...(like my obsession with Pokemon...) I couldn't possibly be a real-life photo journalist. My apologies Mrs.Vasa. <3

Cemetery Drive =]

Everyone has that one special place in the their mind.
You know...the place where you can truly be alone.
Where you can think about everything going on in your life.
And all of your true feelings can be set free & expressed.
But with that special place in your mind, sometimes it's just easier to go there mentally,
With the right physical spot. A quiet, people free place. Where you could do anything, and no-one but you...
Would know.

I have a few spots around the surrounding towns (including my own) where I have my own spots. Places I like to go on days like this. Weeks like this. To just...I don't know...escape everything & everyone I guess.
Take a walk over, find a nice place to sit or lay down or stand...blast a quiet-ish, mood fitting song..and just think.
Think everything over.
Everything on my mind
Everything going on..

Scruffy said last night, that I needed to find my "outlet".
His is working out & running & wrestling. Stuff like that really. It really helps him. =]
Mine? I'm honestly not quite sure just yet. I don't know and I don't care if it's good or bad or whatever it may truly be.
I'm me.
But I do think walks & hanging out on my own at places like those are.
Where I just got back from is a perfect example.
I'll tell you what the place is, just not where.
However weird this might sound to some of you guys/girls...
It's a cemetery.

I LOVE cemeteries.
Like, it might be weird, but I'm honestly telling the truth.
Their just peaceful usually. Ya know?
-sigh-

But I've been waiting to just have that kind of time to myself.
To explore, think, walk around.
I've gone to the cemetery for a year or two now,
And yet just found a secret path & mini bridge in it.
(There's a pond towards the begining of the cemetery, and thats kinda my spot.)
(:

I think I should be fine given time.
Yea I'm loosing my friends in some ways.
But I have & know who most of the real ones are.
I'm done with my past.
It's that simple.

To Scruffy, Thank you. <3 You know everything I would type, but wont. So again, thank you. =]

To Tom, You're my buddy. <3 Thank you too. =]

To Casey & Joanna
To Jake, George & Billy
To...you guys know who you are..<3 Thank you
Even Darien...
All of you.

My project, as I have said before, is to make a book in a week in my life. (Though that might be a really scary thought to some of you....that or boring) It's actually not a bad idea. I know I'm not that unique to the everyday teenage girl, but I'm not the classic. That much is evident.

Anywayz, I explained to Vasa that I wanted to make my book, have 3D aspects to it. Ribbon, Bottle Caps, Key chains, stuff like that. The best book that we decided to use is the Star book.

(This is a star book...It's ok. I didn't know what it was before either..)

I've finished the taking pictures part. Now I'm pretty much procrastinating the actual creation of this said book. I don't really get the instructions, so I'm looking up other ones. Practicing at home :D (Yes Vasa I'm actually trying/working! :D Just not to much success... -sigh-)

So cha. Thats how my person project is coming along. God, I can't wait to see it once I'm done! (Eventually....) ^-^ <3

Star book!

Photo II....not my best of subject this year. Then again, what is? Anywayz, we got a new project. An individual project. Mine? "Donna: Digital: Create a book following a week in the life of Donna." This should be interesting. My choice of book style? Star. My idea? 25 shots right? Well, 5 pages must be made for have a star. So 25/5 = 5. Four close friends, And on page to myself. Lets see....

And 1....2.....3.....GO!
