one two nine.

geez, I'm tired.  one more.

this is beautiful.  I love the simplicity of this and also the immense amount of detail.  blurry, sharp, crisp, subtle colors.

checkmate.

I love it.  its my favorite color scheme right now, yellow and grey.  and the contrast is great.  I love how the board kind of confuses your eyes.  I know the caption is cliche but it just happens to be my favorite line in "harry potter and the sorcerer's stone".  I'm awesome.

this was such an "au naturale" day.  so hopefully you like it.

again, at dance for four hours.

so please enjoy, as I haven't yet featured my new dance love, tap.

tried and true.

I love the look of tap shoes. lots of texture and lots of detail. plus the rough, worn-in, look of this shoe just makes me happy in so many ways.

day one hundred twenty seven.

I've decided to not "try" anymore.  I've decided this thing should just be natural and part of my day.  so that's what I'm going to do.  if I see something I'll certainly make an effort to get a picture, but I want it to be more authentic.

so its kind of hard to get a picture on busy days.  but I've just been taking pictures of things throughout the day.  including the four hours I spent at the dance studio.

so here it is, some dancing sweetness.

gilded grace.

I like it because behind her is a tapestry of a ballerina.  so pretty.  so simple.

this day felt like old times.  it felt so normal and not busy, for once in my life.  me and ali went out for dinner and a movie.  it was great.  and everyone should go see "easy a".  hi-larious.  emma stone is genius.

anyways, when we got there there was this great sky and I took a picture of the trees.  it looked beautiful.  my movie theatre pictures were cool too but I just love this.

autumn outline.

yes.

one hundred 25.

a day to bring awareness and support.  my friend at work, my friend from young life, and one of my dance moms, and my good friends' sister - all have a child with diabetes.  and three of those children have been diagnosed within the last couple years.

today was the ron santo walk for jdrf.  it was a beautiful day and there were so many people there.  I hope you can take the time to go to www.jdrf.org and make a donation.  every little bit helps.

taking steps.

I like how it just looks so packed full of people like they're all connected.  and all the colors and details.

one twenty four.

here's the deal.  I just edited six hundred pictures.  and I've not been home any night since the day where we left off.  also, I'm moving out.  also, this takes hours.  so again, in my busy life, please be patient.  the blog entries will be posted eventually.

this is the day my friends got married.  beautiful, simple, and FUN.  two people perfectly suited.  and they were once featured in my blog - day thirty-six: july 26.

it was a great day and everything looked beautiful.  everything.  here is their first dance, oh timmy, worked so hard.

life's a dance.

the colors and the lighting was spectacular and a dream for me to photograph.  there are so many good ones but this one summed up the day and the couple.  I'll post the rest on my website soon!

so today was a blissful fall day for me.  and I enjoyed it.

at one point I was doing the following three things:
1) eating a caramel apple sucker.
2) listening to christmas music.
3) riding in the car with maci.

at the same time.  I know the christmas music has nothing to do with fall and is a little premature in the minds of most, but it makes me happy.  so I don't care:)  as I was driving with maci, I stuck my camera over in her direction and snappy snap snapped.  I've done this trick before, but with a less quality camera and while the car was in park.  this time the windows were down...maci was in her element and at her peak of happiness...and this is the result...

joyride.

the wind in her hair.  the pure joy on her little face.  the colors.  its all good, dude.  its allll good.
