i'm going to take a break
from Tumblr.
YouTube.
Facebook.
TV.
Candy.
Snacking when I’m not hungry.
And certain types of music.
Until March.
I’ve been feeling empty lately. Like my life is a series of eat-work-surf-the-web-sleep with no thread of meaning to connect my day to day activities to a greater purpose… to God’s plan for my life. And I feel like I’ve been trying to fill that...
I have a photo idea...
that involves old, raggedy library books.
Many of them.
About 50.
My library has no loan limit so I can borrow as many as I want, but it’ll be incredibly awkward to walk out of the library carrying 50 books…
Anyways.
I shouldn’t be worrying about this now. I have a bunch of midterms starting the week after next, and no time for elaborate photoshoots.
But I do plan on doing...

If you met someone who had a severe lack of self-esteem/hates themselves, to the point where it consumes them completely, what would you say?
First, I’d tell them that I know, to some extent, what they are going through. I struggle with insecurity in a major, major way. On some days, it seems like there’s this constant reel running through my mind of mistakes I made,...

Know what my biggest worry today was? I was hungry during my morning class and my stomach was growling, so I did everything I could to silence it and prevent it from embarrassing me in front of the friend with whom I was sitting.
Know what Sonia Flury’s biggest worry was over the past few days? She was stuck under the rubble of her home in Haiti with her daughter, who had to drink urine...

Client: “We’ve decided we need a warmer blue in our logo.”
Me: “Blue is a cool color.”
Client: “Well, just make it warmer, whatever that takes.”
Me: “It’s impossible. Blue either becomes green or purple.”
Client: “We don’t like either of those options. Just do your best to warm it up without changing it dramatically. You’re the designer. We know you can do...

What message would you want to put in a fortune cookie?
[this is an automatically-generated question, because I’m bored and feel like answering something… ask me something? *hint*]
I’d say: “You are loved.”
We hear that message, sincerely or insincerely spoken, many times in our lives… I just wish more people realized how true it is.

we need to talk. →
I’m listening.
i am forgetful.
2 pieces of evidence for this fact:
1. In grade 11, I walked down the hall, out of the school, and a few steps down the street leading home, before realizing that my padlock from my locker was still in my hand.
2. Last month, I bought a cup of tea at Tim Hortons, paid for it, and left the counter without taking the tea.
There should be a university course on behaving like a normal, rational...
bitter, black tea
and filling moleskine with brainstormed photo ideas
equals perfect morning.
my imagination seems to be up and running again
but i need a tripod if i want this 52-week thing to work.
guess who’s going to the camera store this saturday?
(speaking of which, any recommendations of tripods/remotes?)
“My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust? If the whole show was bad and senseless from A to Z, so to speak, why did I, who was supposed to be part of the show, find...
So I passed a sign today
that said “Part-Time Work.”
And I read, “War-Time Pork.”
Someone needs sleep…
formspring is fun.

Within the last 3 days, I talked about concerts, how I would describe myself in 3 words, what God has been teaching me, how I feel about luck, and I wrote a mini-essay on my views about abortion.
More comments or questions?

I want to hear them.

I WILL get back to you sometime this or next week. Sorry for the delay.
Better late than never... Ask me anything. →
Or tell me anything, for that matter.
I want to hear. :)
10 tidbits about yours truly...
I was tagged by someone on Flickr to write this list, and am posting it to Tumblr (it’s already up on my Flickr)… Hope it’s not too boring!
1. I am more insecure about my photography than most people could guess… I hate nearly every photo I put up, and at times I wonder why I ever got into doing it. But there’s something about it that draws me back in, more than any...
It seems I used to always have words running...

I don’t know what happened. :/
I know exactly how that feels. :(

beneath the silver moon
Matthew Perryman Jones
Lyrics:
You were once a boy in tattered jeans With skin dark by the sun Eyes so wide and deep with reckless dreams To carry you along
You were always talking ’bout the sea The brilliant mystic view You never seemed to shrink from mystery That was life to you And you would find a resting place Where stars would light the room And trees would bend with sacred grace ...
