everything is photographic in my mind. sometimes i go out there without any desire or inspiration or previous mental image of what i want to capture..but somehow it just happens. and when they do, its perfect. and you feel it..it draws you, it pulls you..makes you stop at your tracks and look at things differently. that moment happens when that time is yours..between you and your subject. that nth of a second..just yours. and you have to grab it before its gone or its forever lost.

i somehow ended up at cb2 tonight, only to find their lease is up and is closing soon! (lincoln store). i may be late on this news but anyway, there were some great things i wanted to take home but still could not afford or had no way in transporting them home. however, i found these painted branches laying on the floor and asked if they were for sale. they werent. but i told them they were too pretty to not be in my home or be thrown in the garbage once everything was ton3. so they sold them to me for 50 cents. probably one of the best buys in a long time.

my mom has about six pairs (possibly more) of eyeglasses laying around the house. she never knows where she last put them and always manages to lose a pair. i tried collecting all of them for this photo..but she only found four.

i'm realizing more and more these days how alike we are. but it seems as i'm getting older and feeling it, she's getting younger and livelier. its nice to see her this way.

i woke up real early for a sunday. i was hypnotized by the sun..it was so warm and strong-a nice contrast to the frigid and bitter weather outside. my plants havent been getting any sun lately. today was a treat for them. this was taken against a frosty window..worked well as a background, i think. almost looks underwater. it reminds me of this video game called flow.

i own more pairs of earrings than any other pieces of jewelry. that's all.


on another note, i'm really liking flash bounced at a 90 degree angle. i think that light falls pretty nicely, dont you?

once again, we ring in a new year. last night my cousin joe and i talked about things that happened 10 years ago. it seems a lot of significant things happened then and appropriately, the year turned 2010.

10 years ago, i got my drivers license and first car. i had a sweet 16 birthday party with a whole lot of my friends and more than half of those people are no longer a part of my life now. 10 years ago, a good friend and youth pastor at that time got into a car accident which left him with a metal rod in his leg and killed his two cousins. it was ten years ago when people were freaking out about y2k...

i can't believe its 2010!!! by now we all thought cars would be flying and everything will be ruled by robots and machines. well..we're not too far from that.
