Yes it fits in a blog.

This picture was created on Sunday during my second workshop in Austin, TX! Olivia, pictured here, gave me the idea to make the carpet red after an hour of editing in the airport :) It was a whirlwind trip, very busy! I wrote a blog post about my trip to Texas as well as my trip to Death Valley with tons of pics in this blog post.

I love when I can find an inspiring place to take pictures in. I love when I find places like this - it was a very unique house. Extremely creepy! Made even more creepy by the fact that there were thunder storms throughout the night and other unexplained creaks and tinkles of sounds. It was a really fun weekend…back to picture-taking in my home town…I’m feeling very inspired :)

There is nothing I love more than doing shoots alone in this location. So peaceful. And oddly enough the thought of doing a shoot in my own home is stressful despite not having to even get dressed to do it! But today I’m in the mood for one of those blank, white-walled pictures so that is what I’ll be doing, on top of lots of other things. At least that will be the creative part to my day…that, and hopefully shooting with my new underwater equipment due to arrive shortly!

I never had a desire to be tall but eh, maybe it suits me? ;-) I always see these power lines and edit them out but the other day decided to keep them in and play off of the potential meaning behind it.

Oh, such a strange picture! For me at least. Yesterday I decided to climb a mountain. I went out at 1pm because here in the usually sunny Los Angeles it was a lovely, rainy, overcast day…perfect light! But about 10 minutes into my drive to my location the sun burst through the clouds and I wasn’t able to shoot in direct sunlight. I drove back home and waited until my usual shoot time of 4:00 and then set out.

I never know with my locations if I’m allowed to be there or not. It seems like everyone owns everything and no one wants to let me take pictures on their dirt. So I RAN up the mountain in an effort not to get caught. I am really out of shape, wow. Anytime I do something like that…or anytime I shoot alone even, I feel so energized and excited about photography. I feel like anything is possible. And this image, while it is way beyond my comfort zone, became possible because I pushed myself to do something I normally wouldn’t.

Miss Aniela and I opened up a third date for UK workshops (February 2), this time in London in a studio. Our theater workshops on the 29th and 30th are going fast, but there are still some spaces left for the January 19th workshop in LA and February 2nd in London.

أَعِدُّوْا شَيْئا لِ فَقَد الِآحْبَاب وَعِنْدَمَا نَفْقِد شَي..لَّانُفِقِد جَسَد..
بَل نَفْقِد حَيَآة ب آكْمَلَهَا..عُنوَآنِهَا وَدَآعَا..!
