I haven't been photographing much of anything lately...life has been pretty hectic over the last several months and I have barely had time to breathe.

Since September everything has changed...

I got a divorce
I moved in with my sister
I've started excercising and eating better
I completely gave up my addiction to Coca-Cola
I started dating someone

Life at the moment is great, now all I need to do is get back into the habit of carrying my camera with me to capture all the little simple moments.

I hope all of you guys had a great Christmas and New Years and that you all have someone special to cuddle up to this Valentines Day. As for me I'll be in Alabama visiting with my sweetie.

Love to all.

The last week has been nut-so. I had Harry Potter, My 25th Birthday and a slew of other activities...but it has been fun.

I should have a couple of totally awesome pictures from the midnight Harry Potter book release party I went to up soon. But those are the only pictures I have taken since coming back from Costa Rica

Sad I know. For those of you who haven't picked up Harry Potter yet...DO IT. Its awesome totally worth reading 7 books. Seriously amazing.

My birthday passed completely uneventfully...but thats what happens the older you get, sadly.

The highlight of my week was tonight, I went to the bay front park by my house with some friends because IFC is hosting a couple of outdoor movie nights. We picniced and saw The Princess Bride, if they are going to your city you should really make it out there. Tomorrow is Napoleon Dynamite and I might just go again.

That was way too much rambling...Good Night guys!

I know I have been seriously neglecting everyone lately and I promise as soon as I get back from vacation to give you all some attention.

I'll be flying back from Costa Rica on Friday and will upload some new photos (that will hopefully be good - fingers crossed)

I've missed you all -

So many things have changed lately...sadly.

I have had no time for photos, which depresses me beyond belief. But my life has been very demanding and I have barely had the time to stop and breathe.

I thought that everything would slow down after the Gala but instead it has gotten even crazier. They gave me a promotion at work I am no longer the assistant to the VP I am now an Events Manager with all the headaches and late nights that the title implies. I always seem to have more work than hours of the day.

I also have been suffering from horific migraines...I think its the new job. Its slowly killing me.

My computer was on the fritz and it took forever to fix but its finally whole again.

On a different note I cut my hair...its not long and pretty anymore...I have bangs and its much shorter...

I hope to take some time for me this weekend and i may even get the chance to take a few pics.

I miss you all!

I am sorry to say that my time is going to be occupied elsewhere for the next couple of weeks...I am going to try my best to get on and check up on everyone's new deviatians but I can't promise anything...

At least not until after the 27th.

So don't think I don't love you anymore...i'm just working my butt off at my job.

Since I spend a huge chunk of my day avoiding actually doing any work while at the office, and instead browsing dA. I decided to put some of that time to good use and highlight some of the work that keeps me from being productive during the day.

I am not taking myself seriously while doing this, they just happen to be pieces that I truly love. They either made me smile, laugh or feel something. But to me that makes them significant.

I decided to focus on I get lost in her gallery about once a week, I hope you do too.

I love her work because she is never too shy to photograph strangers –

I'm back...it was an amazing trip but I couldn't be more exhausted after an entire day of flying.

Pictures will follow tomorrow after I've slept a bit.

I just got back from hearing Annie Leibovitz speak about her new book "A Photographer's Life:1990-2005" it was great. It was an amazing night with a great photographer...

Her slides were amazing and the running commentary that she gave as the slides were presented was so moving and emotionally significant to her. Its amazing to me that such a simple, unassuming woman can create such enduring imagery.

I am eternally grateful that she allowed us into her life in publishing this book. I think the most significant thing she said tonight was to keep your photography close to home...photos are very personal and thats what gives them their meaning.

Hopefully I will be able to apply that to my photos.

So I realized today how insane my favorites gallery is...

It seems like I favorite everything, when in fact, I am very selective. I just happen to love every piece thats in my gallery. More than that I wish I could create something as beautiful as what I am .

So I have decided to make a concerted effort to be even more selective. I tend to favorite several pieces by one artist, where as now I will try to limit myself to one or two per person. (with the exception of course of my lovely friends).

You can be absolutely certain if one of your pieces ends up in my favorites its because I truly admire your work and your talent.

Its official...plane tickets have been purchased...hotel reservations made...yay Italy!!

I'll be there from November 14-27 which means i'll miss Thanksgiving ...maybe there'll be some turkey left over when I get back home.

Now I need to look up the weather...I hope its not too cold

I'm sure i'll come back with loads of pictures for you all. Hopefully some will be worth posting.

Don't miss me too much while I'm gone. ]]> ~Cloudbug http://Cloudbug.deviantart.com/journal/10373857/ http://Cloudbug.deviantart.com/journal/10373857/ Thu, 12 Oct 2006 20:22:32 PDT

I spent most of my weekend listening to music and taking photos...it seems that the two are inexplicably connected...at least in my mind.

So being that I am inspired mostly by the music I listen to I decided that my photos would all (from this point on) be named after the song that inspired them.

I’m thinking this is a good idea for two reasons:

1- Great names for my photos…songs have the best titles.

2- It will give you guys a little insight into what I was thinking at the time…I always listen to songs that reflect my mood at that moment.

That’s all from me tonight.

So I spent most of my Sunday sweating in post rain extremely humid Miami heat at a Cuban party for a 2 year old.

Joy of joys...at least I got some good pictures, all of babies of course.

The pics are up in my gallery. ]]> ~Cloudbug http://Cloudbug.deviantart.com/journal/9848395/ http://Cloudbug.deviantart.com/journal/9848395/ Fri, 25 Aug 2006 08:28:04 PDT
My sister has always been the creative one. She really is brilliant, she draws, paints and takes amazing photos. I am trying to convine her to get back into her art for a gallery showing a friend is trying to put together.

But lately, I have felt like picking up a camera and capturing my life in pictures. I have dreams of photos that I want to take, I just don't have the time to take them. Isn't that just the saddest thing. When your inspiration has to take a back seat to your life.

I don't know how much time I'll be able to dedicate to this though, now that I am opening my bookstore. But hopefully I will be able to incorporate it into my free time.

I'm definetely going to need some new equipment. A decent camera would be nice. ]]> ~Cloudbug
