manic-Ann


there's a good story behind this, ask me some time.

summer is kind of lonely, but at the sametime extraordinarily peaceful. everything is finally green in boone, and it's more than a little late.
i saw old ben gibbard the other night, oh the joy of hearing brand new colony, you remind me of home, such great heights, 405, carolina, blacking out the friction, and so many more live. and alex's house, though it's a different house still has that same old smell of good memories from not so long ago. i wonder what that smell really is.

when worlds collide


now that summer is here, and my attention is here to be directed. i can't help but see a lot more grace on my side. not because it wasn't there before but because i'm choosing to see it. like a shape in the clouds. or the virgin mary in a cup of coffee. but unlike those things, grace really is there, always for us to see, and not just to see, but to dwell in. summer no longer has a formula, it's a time of living, more than school would allow. and i'm always happy about freedom.

i wanna be a persian cat in your lap


so I shot my first wedding on saturday, it was insanity, people everywhere, less than ideal light. But 5 hours and 1000 pictures later it was over and I was in an Irish Pub having a pint.

Favorite song of the week, I am the deep blue sea - Mark Mathis "I was born in a thunderstorm, and as a raindrop I fell so free"
