its crazy how different people are different ways. have you ever thought about that? some people are quiet while others are loud and annoying. some people have a knack for making people laugh, while others are naturally mean. some are gracious and kind while others are greedy and supercillious.
luckily for me, i sit at a lunch table full of funny people who can make me laugh even when i dont want to. this is trevor.

the darkroom is full of endless possibilites. its magical.

this is tanner. i've known this boy f0rever. he was my escort at the pageant my freshman year and we can always seem to talk about anything thats on our minds & trust that it wont leave our conversation. he's pretty awesome.

annalise decided to take a picture of me.

i love love love this picture. totally captures her personality.

i sit at a lunch table full of seniors and i've really started to become good friends with some of them this year. some say, "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone". i really think that i will miss a lot of these seniors once they leave. and then its my turn... to walk up and grab my diploma. to grow up. to see the faces ive sat in class with, some of them from 1st grade. the faces that ive familiarized myself with through geography, chemistry, language arts, marketing, alegbra 2, and every class in between. i've seen their faces crinkle with laughter and fall with lethargy. i've seen them at their best and worst times. i will probably never see a lot of them again. thats crazy to think about, i think. so i will throw my cap into the air along side my cares and worries, because that day, that day will be the day when my life gets a little crazier and begins, full speed ahead.

"let's start a riot. nobody's right, nobody's wrong. life's just a game, just one epic holiday."

"maybe together we can get somewhere. any place is better. starting from zero, got nothing to lose. maybe we'll make something, but me myself i've not nothing to prove."

goodbye, for now.

hello.
going to sleep at 2, waking up at 6, not a great idea. i don't recommend it. since freshman year, my dad would take me to school and around this time of the year, we would always see the sunrise paint the sky hues of orange and pink fading into blue. we would always say "dang, i wish i had my camera." well.. this morning i had it. i was great. :)

mm. advanced algebra and trig. easy class.

we started light drawings today, and i was so grateful that i had my camera. there will be many more to come, but here's a taste of what theyre like. bulb exposure + small aperature + black room + lights + colored filters = pretty pictures.

theres a snowman. look closely

hello i am steph

my favorite.

papers are not fun to write in one night. not fun at all.

have you ever been surrounded by people, but feel all alone? hm. thats an odd feeling.

"he's everything you want, he's everything you need. he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be. he says all the right things at exactly the right time. but he means nothing to you and you don't know why."

goodbye, for now.

new york... new york.

first revolving door. :)

macys!

central park

Hey, so today i was sick and came home and took a nap. therefore, i did not take any digital pictures... and because i dont have a dark room in my house, i have yet to develop the film ones i took today, haha. i did play some guitar today. guitar really relaxes me. it takes a crazy world and for a little while, it calms it down. singing and guitar can take every care, worry, thought, person and clear my mind of it. its like magic.

because i was sick, and i feel awful about not having pictures for you (whoever you are) i am going to post come pictures i took from New York during winter break.

as you can tell, i didnt take all of them.. because i am in them.. hah.

but being in New York was the happiest i had been in a long time. it was so beautiful.

"would you wait if i came running home to you? or moved right down the street a block or two? distance is never on my side, it only seems to make our dreams collide and you, have gone onto someone new...& for the longest time, i couldn't love her to same my life. never of moment of peace in my life. cause in the longest line, the front and the back are the same sometimes. and taking a number is taking my time."

goodbye, for now. (:

today- i woke up still under the affects of nyquil. i kept zoning out. one of the youth pastors at my church gave a talk this morning about marriage. it was really eye-opening. i need to start taking a journal. but it really made me think about the way i had handle past relationships and how that would affect the way i handle things in the future.

"4. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud5. or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.6. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.7. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.8. Love will last forever..."

1 Corinthians 4-8

i have always loved that verse.

i hope it snows again soon. like, tomorrow.

"your sweet moonbeam, the smell of you in every single dream i dream. i knew when we collided, youre the one i have decided who's one of my kind."

goodbye, for now.

today was another snowy day. it was rather exciting to see all of the kids sliding down hills and laughing as snow sprayed into their faces as they came to an abrupt stop. my dad and i went to waffle house and then to take pictures at a nearby park. we got a little chilly and so we went to starbucks.

i am thinking i might do the color white this next week. seems appropriate because of the snow.

i should be posting almost everyday.

goodbye, for now.

"i need to be bold, need to jump in the cold water. need to grow older with a guy like you... i would rather be with you, say you want the same thing too."

hey, i am stephanie. i am a photographer, a singer, a writer... basically, i am an individual who happens to be creative.
so today, it snowed a couple inches outside. it was exciting. i decided to take pictures. the snow was coming down really heavily and very white. i think that everything looks prettier covered in snow.

i saw an idea on the internet that i really wanted to do, which is to do a theme each month and try to get a picture containing that theme in it a day. (i.e. a color, a shape, an object, faces, eyes or just images that provoke a certain mood.) i dont know if i will change the month to weeks or whatnot. and i will probably have random pictures scattered through.
but i just wanted to share for now.

goodbye, for now.
