Nico is girl crush status.

I have been listening to new music like crazy-in hopes of finding inspiration to sing and write, possibly. I have discovered Nico and I absolutely love her voice.

I just realized I like spending large amounts of time by myself..

...and that I may be living in the wrong time period.

She's a maniac.

Last week I tore my apartment up. Collected things to get rid of and organized like crazy and I am now putting everything back together. Here is a little bit of my living room, more images to come.

I've obviously always been a sassy fashionista, who occasionally chokes her friends.

argh.

and the frustration sets in. I literally have nothing that I am obligated to do, which is usually how I function. With a list of tasks to complete, things to accomplish and places to be. But alas it is summertime and I have forgotten how to live this life. I have an urge to create, something that is not photography related. These endeavors are usually anxiety making as I do not accomplish what I set forth to do. The brain and hand do not come together to produce what I envisioned in my head. With photography they meet sometimes. This pass semester I made images that were exactly as I saw them in my head. I have come to love the 4x5 camera, but do not own one. So I have made a list of things I would like to do, unrelated to my first love:
1. Create music-sing?! oh my.
2. Write a song, or a poem, short story. something anything.
3. Read books, the first one being Just Kids
4. Make a Zine
I am obviously excited about these things, but I am missing an entry point, a focus. Photography related I will create a website, and compile a cohesive body of work for said website.

I think I gotta do it.

M.I.A.!!! You have come back to us. Although I am suppose to be on a family vacation in Florida at the time of this concert-I just decided that I need to purchase tickets for it. TOMORROW. I am hoping I rearrange my life so I can go OR make 1 million dollars selling them at the last minute.
