My first Canon camera was the Canon PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph. The money for it was a high school graduation gift from my grandparents. I searched and searched for the perfect camera and my brother suggested this one and boy! was he right. Even now owning a Canon Rebel EOS T2i, the PowerShot is the best camera I've ever owned.<br />

Not necessarily due to the picture quality, though that is also great in it's own right, but because of it's insanely intense durability. This camera has been literally lost and buried in a snowstorm for 24hrs and emerged from the chill working just as amazing as the first day I bought it. It has climbed The Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park with me, capturing the mist, while being drenched in it, just as clearly as ever. I must say it's been a environmentally challenging four years for this camera and for that it was a good 200 and something dollars worth it.<br />

My Canon Rebel EOS T2i is another wonderful specimen of technology. While more complicated and more of a risk to test it's durability, the picture quality is deliciously crisp as you can see in almost all the pics I post on here and hello the name makes me feel super cool :)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm quite sick of "why". We were in love once and "truth" was my g-spot, but one day I tasted life and why didnt seem to matter anymore. All that mattered was that moment and every single thing around me in that moment that tickled the 5 senses. I wish everyone would stop caring why things are and just start feeling it. Accept everything! And not because you can justify it, but because it just is what it is. Istigkeit! Isness. I dont care why a waterfall falls! It just does and it's beautiful and I want it. I dont care why a particular author wrote what they wrote and all the whom elses of the worlds theory about it. I take it for what it is: a story of life, experience, imagery. I dont need explanations, I just need to feel everything! And the feeling is explaination enough. I find myself in these modes where I wish to be an all-cosuming being; just to be able to consume everything in the world: all feelings, experiences. I want... life. I want the winds across my knees. I want to be a seed in a hurricane. A molecule in the sea. I want to be the burmuda triangle. I want to be a waterfall, endlessly falling, I want to be! just be, simply be. I believe in the grass. I believe in the eye of a feline. I believe that we dont need to ask for tomorrow. It shall come, it shall render change sometimes life changing. And when it all stops. it all stops and that is all. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A butterfly is of a strange kind, but a butterfly is just like you and me the same. Indeed I am a butterfly. except I transform daily. I have a thousand different wings and within them one million different colors. As I travel I hear the wind sweep past me and as I fly I see things others cannot. A butterfly is of a strange kind, I am a butterfly, indeed I am of a strange kind.</span></div>

His smile was like the moon light, illuminated. “How are you sweetheart?” he asked. How am I? Who cares, I thought. “How are you Pop? I love you, be strong.” He didn’t even know, they didn’t tell him. He would have gone on forever, if they had never told him.</span></span></div>

I went into the storm a little bit ago to take the pictures that I'm going to post in this and I found myself enjoying being out in the summer rain more than the photography itself. If only I can capture that feeling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It seems like a juvenile thing to play in the rain so I think many people try to avoid getting wet or even going outside during a storm. I think we all forget how wonderful it can feel. Everything about it: the cool drops slipping down the front of your raincoat and into your boots, the fresh smell of soil's thirst being quenched, the comfortable grey sky, the childish crawling fear of sporadic thunder. And it's funny how different the experience of a rainy day can be depending on where you are. I know when I'm in my house and it's rainy I'm either getting cabin fever trying to figure out what to do or not consensually falling asleep, but when I'm outside on a rainy day I feel very much alive and happy and like I wanna play and find frogs and drink raindrops.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was out there I saw my cat sitting in the window and I thought it was funny because it is usually the opposite situation. So I did a little dance for her and she did one back. While I'm on the cat topic, my little lola brought me a present this morning. I was sitting on my computer in the living room and I see her come up to the door from outside - with a jesus lizard in her mouth! She's such a sweet killer. At least it wasn't a snake this time, that's usually her specialty. Anyhow, my dad and I frantically tried to get her to put him down and eventually she did and luckily he was still alive :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When she came in I told her "Thank you, but no thank you my sweet. This family likes lizards."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday and today pretty much consisted of reading <i>Ariel </i>and<i> </i>going pom pom crazy. I got 3 packs of multi colored ones and am applying them to my socks and hair bands. Check it out:</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My great-grandmother, Mum Mum used to believe that a statue of an elephant must have it’s trunk up. This was due to her belief that the truck being up was symbolic of showering good luck. Looking this idea up online I found that she shared this belief with many other Americans, though there is no known origin for the belief. Regardless, Mum Mum was and still is a person I greatly admired, actually beyond all others. Even though I barely spent much time with her before she pasted and maybe that is even more the reason, I hold her and this belief of hers dear to my heart. She seems to be a constant inspiration for me in every facet of my life, art and otherwise. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wrote this for her a while back:</span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“Madeline was my great-grandmother, my past, my soul. She was the only one I’ve known to truly care about everyone. I don’t just know that because she is gone now and I can speak for her. I know because with every cool wind and rustle of leaves, I feel her. When every night my sleepy lids lower, I feel a kiss of each, a hand to cheek. With every twirl of her rings around my fingers, every reflected tear in my glasses, she’s with me still. Her care lives beyond me and with me and because of me. I dream of sailing with her under starlight, the moon’s glow drizzling life into waves. I still write for her. I only write for her. I know how proud she’d be. I do believe it is the best things in life that do not last. It seems to be natures way of keeping us humble to existence and not spoiling us. And though I only have her in spirit and memory, I have her.”</span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Because of her great importance to me and my life, I too have become sort of infatuated with elephants. Not only are they cute, but they are so caring and kind that they have been known to sacrifice themselves for others and not just of their own species, but humans and other animal species as well. Not to mention they can literally die from a broken heart! I <3 them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here's Mum Mum and some of my elephants (trunks up :)</span><br />

I ended up finding these cool drawings I used to do during lectures to keep from being bored (I think the style is called "pen and ink" at least that's what someone told me once lol). They actually say doodling helps people listen better. Anyhow I decided to post them up today and see what everyone thinks. Despite them being awfully time consuming I was wondering if I should make more? Or do something cool with them, like make them move or blow them up really big?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also found some old pictures from my photography classes in 10th and 11th grade. I'll post another time.</span><br />

Nation after nation float away like clouds and I never seem to move forward with them or because of them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #181818; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now since I was say about 15 I thought about vintage clothes, looked at vintage clothes online, tried desperately to find these elusive treasure chests of vintage clothes near me. However, I was never able to make it happen, never allowed to use my mom’s credit card online, and too scared to drive into Miami alone. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #181818; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A couple years ago at one of my mom’s and our neighbor’s annual garage sales our neighbor told me she had found some good stuff at one of the local Salvation Army’s. Now because I didn't expect to find actual vintage clothes there, but just second hand stuff, I blew off the idea for a while. Until recently when my mom had the idea to go there to find 70s inspired shoes on the cheap.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #181818;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Granted, my previous assumptions were correct when I said I probably </span>wouldn't<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> find actual vintage clothes from the eras I wanted, but I did happen to find some pretty cool treasures that no department store would have and no online store would have all for under $60:</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(True. I authored some of it.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I built my little house of ill repute.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">anguish the Pope and make fathers cry.</span></div>
