So, I haven't told many people yet.. at the most (two). And, I am just dying to let you know, on the whereabouts. Well, not "dying",..thats a bit too dramatic.

But...

(God decided to surprise me) with a trip to New York,
at the end of this week.

:o.

I cannot begin to place or put or describe into the words, the way I feel.
The way He surprises me,.. and holds all my desires- long been forgotten in His hands.
and , I often think: "I cannot believe he thinks about me.."(ps 139).

and I guess the above "statements" are, in fact - true.

(please stay tuned for updts. on why I'm even there:)

this is what's running through my head.

7:45am.

Well, I had my first photo shoot, professionally done at around 7:45. In the morning. Wow. I loved it. But to me it was very surreal. I was ever thankful, and I realized just how much time and effort one would have to put.

To be honest, I have a full ways to go, and I feel like I could never stop learning. I have so many plans and ideas, things too graphic and kept under wraps to fully (yet merely) reveal yet, but if you stay tuned, maybe you'll see those things come to pass.

There is so much I want to change. And although a lot of young women come to me to do their beautiful portraits- I love working with them- there are many other things I am looking for, in desiring to shoot.

Speaking with a music-friend buddy of mine, he said the simple facts and simplicity of "captures". There is something real and raw about simple captures that bring the moment of remembrance and magic into frozen moments. Listening to certain new music I have acquired, I all-of-sudden thought of how much my talent can be stretched.

I like that I can be stretched.

I've realized that those who I've learned to gain respect from and associate myself with, have gotten very few and down to the minimal.
There is very few who would love you enough to pull things out of you that they are not satisfied seeing only to remain under the surface.

I congratulate those who "do things" and do them well.
With a humble heart, and a quiet/
shut mouth.
