I have to give a special shout out to my love, Shaun P. Who first brought me to the place that inspired my new love, who bought me the tools for my new craft and continues to feed and support my new found passion. I love that we have each other for love, for growth, for a lending ear at the end of a strenuous day. I love that we are more than a relationship, we are a bond, a friendship. And I love that we're finding new ways to grow up individually without growing apart. You are so important to me bby. Here's to us, cheers to forever!

Some photo spam:
June has been a good month. When school ended I was hesitant to believe that I would knock out half the things I wanted to do during this sweet and sticky summer. At the very least, I was hesitant to believe that I would finish everything I wanted to do by the time I forced myself to sacrifice my life to school. A short six weeks later, I believe that I've made the best I could of my short rendevous from learning. Two Vegas trips, my sisters graduation, EDC, several trips to Dim Mak (that's Japanese for alcohol poisoning), and countless stress-free days with irreplaceable life partners has got me feeling refreshed. School! Bring it!
While we're on the subject of school, I'm thinking about changing my major.. again. While I do have a passion for marine life and biology (and for all of my other former majors) I'm coming around to photo journalism more and more each day. The ability to convey an idea or event to someone who would otherwise have no access to it intrigues me. I'm confident in my ability to write professionally and with clarity so I feel as if my writing could benefit the world. All my life I've been disgusted by the media and what they choose to present to the public or how they convey a situation. It seems as if writers have forgotten their responsibility as journalists to present news in a truthful manner. I just want to open people's eyes to other parts of the world, other cultures, different events, and hopefully allow them to gain a new perspective or inspire them to create change. I don't need to be well paid. I don't need to sleep. What I'm realizing from these multiple major changes is that I need to find a major that I can commit to. Something I can wake up and look forward to doing. That's what will keep me going. It's the only way I'll be able to peacefully rest my head on my pillow every night.
