watching them the last week or so...i really think michelle obama has the potential to be our generation's jackie kennedy. classy, educated, opinionated, beautiful, and inspirational. SHE should be president...

vote to prohibit divorce! :D

O-h baby.

I drove all the way from Atlanta to NC to cast my vote yesterday, and here I am laying in my old bed in my parents house realizing i have to be up in 4 hours to drive home and then maybe even work till close. It feels good though. What a story to tell.

anyway, while i was home today, i scanned in some photos of my former self. enjoy a good laugh at my expense:


and also my favorite photos of my parents. they're beautiful <3

shooting.

sometimes i forget that saying things like "did you get to shoot him or did he just come over and get coffee" has a totally different meaning to strange people in the mall elevator who don know you are a photographer.

...and other times it's just fun to freak people out.

oh take it all away, i don't feel it anymore

today on the way home, i found myself really in tune with all of my senses.

i rolled down the windows and felt the cold, cold air.
i heard the cars racing by fight the sound of William Fitzsimmons on my stereo.
i saw the Atlanta skyline, the street lights, the headlights, the beautiful couples in scarves and coats holding hands and being in love on the sidewalk.
i tasted the frosty air.
i smelled fall. i love fall.

Who could ever be lonely with this in the house 24-7?

Sometimes I wish I could live the life that marley leads: sitting in the sunshine, someone who loves me unconditionally always playing with my hair (or fur in her case), taking me to the park and snuggling at night. well, i guess i do get the snuggling at night part, since she and i are splitting the air mattress for the time being. This dog has got it good, for sure.

I've (in my sleepy state) decided that if I could teach Mars anything, it wouldn't be to stay (haha tried that) or roll over or play dead...I wish I could teach her to play piano. how sweet would that be? Jim Henson eat your heart out, shes not even a puppet. I'd teach her to play Tiny Dancer first thing.

Either way, she couldn't be any better. (Wo)man's best friend, for SURE.

when green meets red, and red meets blue

Apologies for the blurry pics above, but it was taken with a camera phone :) Brandon and I sold merch for Matt Wertz and Andy Davis last night at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA. Pretty exciting. Both are VERY VERY talented, down to earth musicians and the show was a BLAST. We got to meet up with both of them after the show and they were very appreciative, and Matt Wertz even hooked us up with some free super-extra-soft t-shirts.


I spent the rest of the evening and also the majority of today catching up with Brandon Clark. I love spending time at the Clark house, having chats with mama clark and getting slobbered on by the biggest most (second to marley of course) Awesome dog, Kruz, and of course getting my own private Brandon Clark concert. He even played me a secret cover that made me smile extra big :)

Smith's Olde Bar

Smith's Olde Bar had their first "Night with the Judies" tonight, and it was actually pretty fun! The Judies might sound like a 50s girl group, but they were actually a lively (or maybe just drunk) and entertaining group with a pretty nice sound. I wouldn't mind shooting these guys in the studio, they seem like a lot of fun...






This guy told told us about getting held at gun point last night, pretty scary stuff for sure.



Elli Perry...very sweet local girl with a nice voice. Everyone in the room seemed to be friends with her, shes a cool girl.


Jeremy Ezell, thanks to him for inviting Morgan and I to the show to take photos! Wonderful musician, loads of talent. Apologized to me for playing too much piano...someone tell this guy there is no such thing! :)

tell me does it move you...

Brandon showed me this photographer who is doing some great things. I especially love his "Days With My Father" series, it got me a bit choked up.

i cant imagine seeing my father, or anyone i love, in this mans position. this photo story is both beautiful and inspiring as well as sad and awful. I hope you can look past the sad story and really enjoy these beautiful photographs like I do.
