Never-ending FUNDS....

okay, so i guess you don't need never-ending funds for these items i'm about to show you, 'cause for how cool they are, they are priced unbelievably well! i guess if i could, i would buy one of each for all my friends and family. that's maybe where the endless money would come in handy.

but enough of my explaining. i bring to you just a sliver of my absolute favorite items on ETSY...

that's all i've got left.

brain dead me

LOOKBOOK WHATbook????

sooooo, i joined http://www.lookbook.nu/ after noelle of http://www.xenotees.etsy.com/ convinced me to do so. i am glad she did. there is a wealth of fantastic photography of people all across the world just being themselves and having fun doing it. the last thing i need is another online addiction but when it comes to photography and stylin' it up with your own flavor i just canNOT say no!

here are my 4 "LOOKS" i've posted so far

as well as my lookbook link:

baby, you're a lost cause

Guitar and Video Games

Let's get out of this town NOW!

Such Great Fierce Heights!!!

Time takes it all

it seems i get on here when i'm all worn out....

and now i'm quoting the most random of authors for me

"Time takes it all. Whether you want it to or not, time takes it all away, time bares it away. And in the end, there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again."

+Stephen King+

lately i keep running into roads

i read about them

i think about them

i dream about them

and i know that in the end there isn't darkness

but sometimes it feels as such

and this red umbrella isn't protecting me from anything.....

you know that saying,

there is nothing to fear but fear itself

i want to pack the past up tight. bury it.

but my little hands aren't capable

not even 3 pairs of them.

so can't we just kick up out feet

throw back our heads in the grass

lay side by side

and walk this journey together?

why is it that people have to leave?

she's gonna travel the world....

my sister is here- well, both of them are. we had a fun day of shooting some new luggage and i'm pretty much in love with these shots as well as this case.

i thought i would share.....

ahhhhhhhhhh luggage

sNeakeR GeeKs.....

yes, we are in love with our cool sneakers

with our artistic routines, our bizarre sleeping schedule, our lists...

but her focus and her joy, they are contagious

where would i be without this beautiful friend,
without this stunning shattering light hitting her face

as it sets

in my back yard.

these people are few & you don't come by them often

grab on. hold tight.
dear friend of mine
