on the 11th. ugh. i'm just sort of floating at the moment. no real intentions here. i dumped the card that was in my camera and these are the ones that i liked best.
check out Amy next and follow to see more 10 on 10s.
my creativity is starving these days. trying to bring it back...

i'm very awkward in almost every way. i suck at talking on the phone and i do better socially with people under the age of 6. i blurt out emotions full on and in your face, or i keep it all inside for years at a time. my sister in law (yea, you Jill) has helped me so much in the last few weeks, all the while i was supposed to be the one helping her with my twin niece and nephew on her day off. life works in very odd ways and for years i was too shy around Jill. but the last few weeks she's helped me more than my awkward, fumbling, brain barf words could do justice. so when it was father's day and both twins were fed and happy and still dressed and my nephew, their older brother, was outside playing and happy i bossed them all over to the fence. i am brimming with far more creative ways to photograph them (hear that guys?!?!) but we all know we want the photo of everyone relatively happy, no one blinking and no one crying.
holy shit. did i do it? that's three kids under the age of TWO for those of you at home keeping track.
but really. i just wanted to do this for them. for her. FOR YOU JILL.

a day that we so desperately needed. our little family is enduring some hard times. so we escaped to an island, to the very top.

i'm sure you all remember that earthquake in japan. through some dumb luck, i found Dave Powell and his amazing street photography blog ShooTTokyo. we happened to have friends in Japan at the time and so i reached out to Dave, only to gather info and to commend him on documenting such an event. little did i know he'd turn into a friend. i missed the last photo walk, but was sure to clear my schedule for this one. i can't rave enough about the day, the people i met, the community of artists that is out there. and i now believe this to be vitally important to any photographer, regardless of what you shoot. keep yourself fresh, find new ways to see things, see people and see light. this is a very heavy picture post, but why else would you be here, right?!
ok. so if you can stand to look at any more pictures, go check out Dave's view HERE and check out one of my bff's, Naomi Mellar's view HERE.
street photography is really fun and takes balls i tell ya. it's made me think of starting a 100 strangers project...but am i brave enough?
