day 07 - 05.15.2009 "a mellow afternoon" -this was not actually taken by me personally. i enjoyed a wonderful day with my lovely friend sarah d. started off at mellow mushroom and she played around with my camera. even though it's a little blurry, the colors are so vivid.
day 08 - 05.16.2009 "puppy love" -my precious baby boy...kingston. if looks could kill.
i made a conscious decision the day i graduated to document the next 365 days of my life through photo documentation. i haven't posted any yet, but they have been taken... this conscious decision was made based on 2 separate reasons 1. i graduated from college thus beginning a huge, new chapter in my life. pictures from this year have the potential to be very intriguing 2. i received a nikon d60 from my loving parents upon graduation...i am very excited to learn all about it day 01 - 05.09.2009 "graduation from college" -this was my favorite picture from all the graduation festivities...the timing was PERFECT, and my DAD took it. didn't know he had such skills.
day 02 - 05.10.2009 "graduation celebration - chili's" -went with the family to chili's to celebrate graduation weekend...testing out the camera as well.
day 03 - 05.11.2009 "coca-cola advertisment - downtown rogers, ar" -downtown historic rogers, ar has some really incredible "old timey" attractions. the old coca-cola advertisement on the side of this building is one of my favorites.
day 04 - 05.12.2009 "bottle cap bruise - day 4" -this was the result of an intelligent decision the night of graduation. after the 4th day it was looking rather nice. on the eve of graduation, i was informed that guys sometimes punch bottle caps into each others arms...sometimes they scar. i wanted to be 'one of the boys' i guess you could say. after asking A LOT of guys (and one friend telling me how retarded he though i was) i found someone to do it. i didn't think he really would, so the sharp pain in my arm as i was looking away really surprised me.
day 05 - 05.13.2009 "fabulous flora" -i've always made fun of my mom for her flower obsessions, but i finally will admit that they are fun to photograph.
day 06 - 05.14.2009 "traumatic tattoo experience" -i got my first tattoo today! "Beloved" because it is my identity in Christ. i even wrote it myself. it was rather traumatic, not THAT painful, but i did almost pass out. i have a tendency to work myself up over small things.
after 5 years of pursuing an undergrad (1 year biology major + 4 years interior design) it is DONE!! i graduated today at 1.00pm at Randal Tyson Indoor Track Facility. it was bittersweet...so great to be DONE...scared to move on to the real world. the speaker mentioned a quote that i had heard before and love. "the only constant is change..." - Isaac Asimov it is inevitable, and that's part of the reason i can't hang around this campus forever. it's bittersweet but good. there is a whole world out there waiting for me. time to get started!! i'll add some pics my mom took from the ceremony later (:
a good part of my monday/tuesday morning (11 hours) was spent assisting my friend in the editing and composition of a time consuming but altogether intriguing photography project. fun was had...here are (some of) the results:
