i cant remember..

It's probably been over a year since i posted anything...

Ive been really busy.. and honestly no one reads this or gives a shit anyway.


short version: life is good. hectic but good.  so much has been happening lately.. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with it all. and just need to yap about it...and im to lazy to find my actual journal.


Im working on that double bfa... did not think i actually would...but i am.

ash and I just celebrated 11 years... <3 nbsp="" p="">
my dads been missing for a year and a half.. and my mom now plans on going to mexico... anxiety build up.

I want to better.

Ive decided that 2014 is gonna be the year I will become a better artist all around. I want to up my game. photography, art graphic design.. I want to bring it all up.

So this is a post I started like.. weeks ago when I took a trip up to the city with my best friend to celebrate getting My A.A.

So I guess I should inform you that I'm the first person in my ENTIRE family (step/half sibling included) to graduate from any form of college, even getting an A.A is a big deal. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately.. Im not very close to my extended family. It's not a big deal, and I prefer it this way... much less drama. Anyways, it ended up being my sisters and nephews, the hubby, and my mother in law and her sister. I was really sad my mom missed it, i forget to get her the details on time and she had already planned a trip to Mexico and I didn't know... I was really bummed but the rest of my family did make it out and that what mattered.


I celebrated graduating like a total dork.  It was crazy hot that morning and for some reason the Arts department was the last to do the walk.. so by the time we walked we were dying.. it was really cute hearing my family cheering for me and it made it all worth it.

Anyways, one of my best friends missed it and offered to take me out to lunch..so we went up to the city to have lunch, and walk around. I've been craving a place called Pica Pica for like months now, ever since we found it by accident the night we went to go see Blood Red Shoes...I've had crazy foodie dreams about the place. The place makes Venezuelan food that is crazy good.

Life stuff: sharing myself

How much of your life do you share with the public? Like, for realsies, we have so many options these days and even more options on how to synchronize everything. lately Im feeling like its all too much... This is kind of some weird off-branch from my last post.

I used to be extremely public online. As I get older I feel like I  share less and less of myself online. At times times it's probably a good thing, there some life stuff that just doesn't need to be shared with everyone, but sometimes I feel like asking the public might help me make a better choice. 

Documenting every waking moment gets boring for me. I highly doubt that people care about every meal I have or every silly though that pops in my head... but thats what Instagram and Twitter are for anyways right?  In all honestly I don't find my life very exciting these days. With being in school everyday (included saturdays.. yeah I know..) and being married, my life has quieted down a lot. 

Which brings me to my subject; being married. If I blog about and event I went to or something I did.... Im not just sharing my experience, I'm also sharing his. We get so little time together these days to do anything real that doesn't involve school, so when we do I want to keep it for myself. Which is a really valid feeling I think. 

Whats the point off all of this? Well, to be honest I don't know.  I know I miss blogging. I love reading other peoples blogs, and I miss the interaction that comes with it. I used to have friends all over the world and miss that. 

I'm finishing up my post about going to the city a few months ago.. and I have a new one from this weekend. Lots of pictures involved. Yey!

Blogging... and my problems with it.

  I suck at keeping up blogs. I state that every time I write a new post I realized.

        I really want to be able to keep one up without later going back and editing or just flat out deleting the post because I don't feel I'm properly expressing what I wanted too. Or I get into it for a bit and then I end up feeling like I've outgrown them... or  I've outgrown the person I was when I first created them. The longest journal/blog I've ever kept it my old livejournal blog, Ive officially had it for 10 years, I just went back and read through some of it.. and lets be brutally honest... I will never be poet and I should probably avoid writing it. Its hysterically bad. I've had this thing since 09.. and Im pretty sure Ive posted less than a months worth... pretty pathetic.

Anyways, back to the point. I want this to have a purpose aside from just keeping myself entertained. Recently my husband has taken up blogging as part of a school project. Not only has he been able to write more than a post in a week, he's also amazingly eloquent in his posts. I wish I possessed his ability to write to something meaningful. We approach blogging on very different levels, and subject matter is day and night obviously.... but at least his effort shows..

I have 3 or 4 different blogs post in queue right now.. some from June when I took a trip to the city after my graduation.. I did a really rad picture walk and took some cute pictures.. but for some reason I just haven't been able to properly finish it.  I feel like Im well past the expiration date on those post now.

I have another post about fashion and where I think its gonna be heading.. and even though i totally called it.. I don't feel like its something I can share anymore since obviously its long gone and happened.

I started a new job on tuesday. Ive decided that since my job is so awesome that I can actually spend time online doing whatever I want.. Im going to attempt to use that time for blogging and possibly making THIS a "thing".

Sooo here goes nothing.

Ive got a returning client and a new client that I actually met at a bus stop in long beach last year!! Crazy right? and the other two are family members.

Im pretty excited about shooting some new faces!! and the returning client is so fucking cute!! seriously. Im kinda hoping people there will be interested and possibly wanna try and book a shoot.. long shot I know .. but a girl can dream.

All the money from this shoot is going towards purchasing a third light.

Im trying to decide between the Alien bees 1600 or the Alien bees ring flash?

the 1600 has more power...

but the ringflash... makes pretty light.. sooo I dont know..
