Show on Friday

I'm having another show this Friday at Black Mint Collective Tattoo Studio in OKC. I'm showing with another lovely local lady. There will be lovely art and ugly sweaters. Come by and say hi!

what it hides

someone once told me that none of us are actually afraid of the dark; we're scared of what it conceals from us.

*something else new. i'm working on a few more ideas and will be collaborating with my boyfriend on a few projects.

not quite myself

i haven't taken photos in a long, long time. i've been feeling not quite myself....

i feel like i've been living in someone else's skin.

*i've been prepping for another show, which is hard because i haven't done any new work since i moved in at my new house. i'm still working on figuring out lighting and such. i'll have more information on my upcoming show soon.

*panties are from the gap (and are amazingly comfortable)

News from the grey

That sinking feeling you get when nothing is getting done and all you want to do is sleep. This has been my everyday for the past two months. Every time I start to set up my camera or work on my apartment I start feeling overwhelmed and just stop. I've been living in my new place for two months and still feel like a stranger there. It's not my home and I'm just visiting. I can't seem to shake this strange feeling. My boyfriend has been decorating and putting all of my things in place to make it feel more homey, but something is still off. Don't get me wrong, it's a great little house with lots of room and lovely old world features, but something isn't quite right yet. 

I'm starting to feel the pressure as my next show approaches and I haven't completed any new pieces. 

How do you adjust to changes? How do I make myself feel less like a visitor here?

Upcoming show

I've been neglecting my blog lately due to home renovation stuff, but I wanted to let you know that I will be having a show in December if anyone in the OKC area wants to come. I'll have more details later. Also, I finally have internet at my house so I can get back to posting pictures again.

New pills, new place

I finally feel like I've got most of the unpacking done in my new place. Now to start decorating and painting. 

I also went to a different doctor to see if they could figure out what's wrong with me. I got a new prescription that hopefully will work. The down side is that the medicine makes me a little loopy. Hopefully I'll get back into taking pictures soon. Jeff and I are planning on working on some stuff together which I'm really looking forward to. 

Here's a lovely picture of the strange skin condition I've developed.

Just an update

I just wanted post a little update to tell you why I haven't added any new photos lately. I've been taking a little time off to collect my thoughts and put some ideas together, which has stretch passed a little time to a lot longer than I had hoped. In the midst of this hiatus, I've found out that I'm moving again. This move will hopefully be for the better. My new place is more spacious, doesn't have the ugly carpet that my current place has and is close to work. In the next few weeks I'll be boxing up and purging a lot of stuff. I'm very excited for the change and hope that it inspires me to take some more pictures. 

In the meantime, I'm working on a few little projects here and there just to keep my stress level down. I finished my first dream catcher the other night and am currently in the midst of a crochet project (disaster?). 

I hope to more new stuff to write about that's a little more interesting than this.

Living in my head

While I've been taking a break for other things (video games), the mister has been updating his music blog: http://thecassetteclub.wordpress.com

Go read about the new warpaint record. 

I'm currently working on some new ideas and procuring props for different projects. However, a recent respiratory infection has delayed me a few days.

Lykanthea

I know I haven't posted a lot lately, but I really wanted to share the lovely music of lykanthea with you guys. Lykanthea is Lakshmi Ramgopal, a Chicago based solo musician. Her music is beautifully haunting and if I weren't writing this on my phone I would have embedded a sample for you to listen to. You can check out her music at http://lykanthea.bandcamp.com 

I recently ordered another one of her cassette tapes which comes with a lovely hand made ring. 

She's definitely worth checking out. 

I should be back next week with some new photos. I've taken a little break to work on sorting and cleaning out closets and to work on a few craft projects.

*last one of this light bulb series! i'm still working away on some new concepts for pictures that i hope to have up soon.

reject

these were some pictures that i took the other night that didn't quite come out exactly how i wanted them. however, i wanted to post them anyway so i'll have a little reminder of the concept to try again.

*i plan on working a little more on this idea for future projects.

*i hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far. it's warmed back up after a week of rain and beautiful weather.

Enjoy the silence

I've been taking a mini vacation from shooting to come up with some new ideas for an upcoming group show. I'm hoping to get some work in tonight on some test shots which I'll post later this week. 

Also, I still have some framed prints that I'll post pictures of tonight if anyone is interested in buying one (read--I'm out of storage space and everything must go).

Tonight

I'm having my first show tonight. I finished hanging the pieces last night and  right now Jeff is making some prints to sell. I'm still a little nervous, but I'm mostly excited to see how it goes. If anyone is in Oklahoma City tonight you should stop by and say hi.

Teatox

I've been reading a lot about this "teatox" thing people are doing this summer and I figured I'd give it try to see what all the hype is about. I selected the Tiny Tea, which is a 28 day detox program that's supposed to help with metabolism along with an exciting assortment of other things like keeping your skin clear, making you less bitchy during that time of the month and giving you nice energy boost. 

While most people I've seen using this are only in it for the weight loss benefits, I'm more interested in the skin clearing, anti-PMS magic that it's supposed to have. 

I'm supposed to drink the tea twice a day, 30 minutes before or after I eat. The tea itself is a blend of oolong, jueming zi, he ye,shan zha, lai fu zi, chen pi, and mai ya, so it should taste pretty good. 

I'll check in after my 28 days to give my full (and experienced) opinion of the tea and the results. In the meantime, you can always check out their website www.yourtea.com to look through their other tea selections.

Soap and candles

I'm currently working on some more handmade soap. I got some lovely new essential oils that I can't wait to try. 

I've also made another batch of bees wax candles. 

I made pillar candles as well as tapered candles. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. 

My boyfriend and I are working on setting up an online shop, but if anyone is interested in buying candles or soap before we get the shop finished you can email me at 13tomorrows@gmail.com and I'll let you know what soap scents and candle colors I have ready to go. 

In other news, I'm having my very first photography show in a few weeks at a local gallery. I'm trying to pick 6 images to frame and make prints of. If anyone has any suggestions on which pictures I should choose I'd love to hear them.

*beautiful words from ernest hemingway.

*i got my panties from ruff life lingerie in the plaza. you can check out their site here or if you live in okc you can swing by the shop. they have a fantastic selection of cute undies as well as lots of pretty vintage items.

fashion inspiration

i recently watched dario argento's "phenomena" and absolutely loved the clothing worn by jennifer connelly. she stuck with a monochromatic wardrobe of beautiful oversized blouses and flowy skirts.

i also really loved her pajamas.

i'll definitely be stealing some ideas from her outfits in this movie.

if you haven't seen it, it's worth the watch. lots of creepy people in switzerland and lots of bugs.

*some lovely words i found on pinterest (the root of all procrastination)

*happy friday everyone. this will be a weekend for organization. my closets are out of control and must be tamed. i'm planning a major clothing, shoes, and accessory purge. also, my bathroom is under major renovation as my upstairs neighbors have a leak in their shower that has caused the ceiling to cave in, so i'll be staying elsewhere until it's repaired.

*in other news, it's getting really hot here so underwater picture attempt two is near. i'm hoping to get a little better at using the camera and working with models.

*listen to what i'm listening to here

Tattoo inspiration

I've been craving another tattoo for a few months now. I'll probably wait until after summer, but I can't say for certain. I'm thinking of getting something on my other side or on my back. These are some tattoos that I've been crushing on lately:

This one is so sweet and simple. 

I'm also pretty in love with the idea of a floral tattoo. 

Also, the moon phases is something I've been thinking about for awhile. 

I'm going to a garden show this weekend and hopefully will get some lovely pictures. Also, I'm shooting some new pictures tonight and hopefully will get them edited before I leave for the weekend.

a long time ago there was a girl who had let her heart succumb to darkness...

...but then another came along...

...and drew her like a moth to a flame.

*happy friday everyone. i'm looking forward to a very relaxing weekend at home. i have some new photos planned that i want to try to finish up this weekend.

*in other news, i finally finished redecorating a few little spots in my apartment so i'll probably have some pictures of that up soon. also, i have a couple of music and movie posts that i want to do.

only in dreams are you waiting to pull me away.

*finally got some new stuff edited. i wasn't originally happy with how this worked out, but after rotating it i've come to like it a little more.

*my dress is from gypsan.

*finally got some editing done. i have another picture for tomorrow too.

*my dress is from gypsan

*i used one of my hand dipped candles for this picture. i've been working on making some new candles this week. i'm trying my hand at the rolled bees wax candles. so far they are turning out really pretty, but the sheets are rather delicate and i tore a few while practicing.

Lately

Lately things have been a little busy for me with work. I've been trying to establish a good routine to balance work, photography, and fun stuff. I think I've almost got one down. I figured I'd give you a little glimpse into recent happenings. Hugo is learning to take walks on his kitty leash (yes, I am one of those weird cat walking people). Also, I got lots of pretty stuff in the mail (more on what's in the box later). And I have been trying to make a little more time for reading. 

I hope everyone is having a fun summer so far. I can't wait for the pool to be open so I can try my hand at more underwater photography.

*i'm back! i finally got a few of my pictures edited and will have another post tomorrow. i'm working on reshooting a couple of things i wasn't happy with once i saw them on the computer.

*in other news, i finally graduated college. i'm so relieved to be done with school forever.
