Hello January, Goodbye January

Hello everyone! I am SO sorry that I haven't posted yet this year. I've gotten caught up with Live & Conquer, (my Etsy shop) I've been working on my spring collection. (I feel so funny saying that) ;D I'm also pondering opening an Etsy shop for my photographs. Thoughts? I did a few other self portrait photo shoots this month, but I haven't posted them yet because I have sworn not to. Long story. ;D On another note..... I got the idea for a kind of photo collage from the Twilight soundtrack (New Moon), Shooting the Moon by OK Go.  I LOVE that song. I had a really good time making it. The moon photo, the sunset photo and the photo of me are all mine. I had the mist fun making the rainbow waterfall. Well, I hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. I still can't believe it 2011! Oh my. 

December Compendium

Hey Everyone. Sorry I haven't been about (blogging) lately. Holidays and all. ;D I know everyone
is doing there year in review kinds thing, but I though I would do my monthly compendium. I hope you
guys like. ;D I went on a trip to Ely MN earlier in the month with my Dad. I had been there a few years ago on a Outward Bound trip to Ely for a week of dog sledding. ;D Oh Yeah. We also went to the "International Wolf Museum". It was great. We also went to a historic Lighthouse on Lake Superior. There are a few things that have gone on this month. Happy New year Everyone! I hope 2011 brings you all best.

I recently got these rings the other day and I really wanted to do a photo shoot with them. It was also really cold outside (hence taking the photo inside.) and I was feeling a little down and needed a pick me up. And, nothing makes me happier than taking pictures. ;D I've never done a self portrait like this one, kinda up close and personal. But, I like it. It's my "Watch out 2011 for me kicking butt" photo. Hope you all like. Any plans for the new year?

John Lennon Tribute "All You Need Is Love"

My tribute to the wonderful and brilliant John Lennon. My sister and I grew up listening to The Beatles and just plain old John, thanks MOM! ;D What's your favorite John Lennon or Beatles song?

Me

This is me going slightly crazy with my hair and make up. Don't worry, the white flakes in my hair is snow. ;D It was freezing when I did this photo shoot. Something like 27 degrees. I had a good time doing my make up and hair. The idea was some creature that was trying to blend in, but wasn't working out too well for "it". Hope you like. HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYBODY!!!!

Tribal Total Make Up Binge

I got this idea yesterday for a photo shoot, but I needed to go and get some make up for it. So, I went and 

kinda went on a make up binge. I just got all the cheap sale stuff, so I didn't feel to bad spending money on things that I would never wear besides for photo shoots. Anyway, when I got home I thought I would try some ideas out for the idea I had and well, I went a little nuts you could say. But, in a good way. I just had to take a few photos. ;D It's ridiculous I know. Believe me I know. Hope you all like my craziness. 

Winter In The City

My sister lives downtown now (sad face.) But, for the last few years we've made a habit of going to the Kris Kringle Market in downtown Chicago. We went a little earlier this year, to take a gander at all the goodies and have a good old time. It was one of those perfect wonderful days. The atmosphere was full of Christmas and the Holidays. It was all making me drunk and swoon. We even saw this older guy feeding the pigeons, and they were sitting on his hand! So glad I my camera! I wish a had a piece of bread through. :) Also the night before I put all the Christmas music I had back on my ipod and listened four hours of it on the train going downtown. So, that was my weekend.
