Out of darkness come light??

Hey,

  I have lost all motivation and also seems inspiration since moving to Arizona, I don't know if it's the place or a new dip in the journey, but I find most of the times I feel very drained. How I miss being able to grab my camera or my paints and just going with it, I miss passion, I miss drive.   I hope soon enough, this will leave, but for now I am grateful for the desert days, it tends to bring things to the surface, our pains, our true desires, even our real weakness.  I am thankful for the pain and the shedding of skin, so when the rain comes, I am renewed and have a different understanding of not just life but who I am.

These pictures are from Halloween to yesterday. There are 2 pictures with sunlight coming through the darkness, when I saw these I couldn't get Matisyahu out of my head. So today my inspiration for this is "out of darkness comes light".
I hope this finds you well.

Field Trip???

Hey,

This weekend my photography class went on a field trip to the Japanese Friendship Garden.  We went at 8am so the sun was giving off a light glow. It was absolutely a gorgeous place, such a peaceful environment.  It was great because my grandparents were here for a visit as well, so we all enjoyed the garden and the season's re-opening of the garden.  

I hope this finds you well.

Star gazing??

Last night, I took out my camera and tripod and did a little dabbling with some night shots.  I found it to be very intoxicating to turn off all the lights and gaze at the stars.  I am so amazed how beautiful it was and it was only a glimpse of what is out beyond what we can see.  It's crazy to think how detailed life is, space, our bodies, emotions, the fact that life has a balance so we may just live.... wow    

ok that's all I got, ha. I hope this finds you well.

Organic Alphabet??

Hey Everyone,


     I have been taking some classes at the Phoenix Center for the Arts, as you guessed, in Phoenix. I have started beginners piano and digital photography 101. Both classes have been such a great opportunities to meet new people, to learn the thing I've always wanted to, and to stretch my mind.

  Last week in photography, we had an assignment that was meant to open our minds to the world around us. We were to take pictures of the 26 letters in the alphabet in organic form. It was a great adventure and taught me a lot about how the alphabet is everywhere :)

I hope this finds you well.
