We just got internet at our apartment today. We also found out that our room mate is moving out by the first of September.

Far too much has gone on in the past four months to put down in just one entry so I'll try and leave it simple.

I'm currently working at a Jail... I don't really like it and it is a complete and total waste of my talents and degree. I'm working on finding something better but until then I'm stuck being a dietitian for inmates.

This week I'm getting kilted! I shall have to post photos... though I'm sure they will be embarrassing as hell. For those that don't know what being kilted means I'm a part of a Bagpipe Band, no I don't play the pipes I play a tenor drum, anyway I'm about to get my uniform hence the kilting.

There is so much more to tell but I'm not sure in what order to write it. I'll mull it over and get back to you all later.

Blessed Be,
IVY

I moved into my apartment with my fiance a few weeks ago and between my job at Macy's, my brand new second job, moving, unpacking, and planning various things for my friend 's wedding I've just now gotten around to updating some things on the interweb (dork alert!).

New stuff should be coming soon... I'm not sure though it all depends on how the next week goes really. I'll try and keep my journals updated though... just so everyone knows I'm not dead yet.

On Friday Ian will be here to pick me up. We're leaving early Sunday morning for the grueling 12 hour drive back to VA. I'm so happy that I'm coming home! At the same time I'm really sad to be leaving. I was starting to really like Chicago. I know I'm going to miss Jack, Adam, and Kadie horribly but change is just a part of life. Now I get to strike it out in the big wide world without help from my family. I'm ready for this!

I never really know whats going to happen next. I try to make plans but honestly I haven't set very many long term goals. It just seems like every time I try something happens that completely changes them... I do know this... I will get my degree in Photography, I will start a family some day, and I will be happy. Those are my goals. Thats it... no other specifics because then I'll have to just change them.

I really can't wait to be back! I miss everyone so much... my creativity has been down while I've been away I think that its mostly in part to not knowing anyone out here and not having anyone to go scout out amazing photo ops with.

Anyway, guess thats all for the update today!

Blessed Be,
~Ivy

I'm working on my admissions essay for Radford University atm. I'm choosing to write about my passion for photography and why I think Radford is a good place to start. I'm sure when my ex hears about me going there he's going to hate me even more than he does now but hell I really don't care anymore... I am actually enjoying the convos with friends when they tell me the things he's been saying. It's good for a laugh anyway!

I'll hopefully be working on some more/new projects soon. I really miss having my drawing tablets.... I've been stuck without my drawing materials for four months!!! I have my pencils with me but am in serious need of some medium weight paper.... all we have here is some watercolor paper and well that just won't do.

I am planning on getting my tree of life design as a tattoo, in fact if I can arrange it I'll be getting it on the 28th. By that I mean if I can find a way to switch shifts with a co-worker and not have to work my last day.... I hope I can switch for more reasons than the tattoo, I'll need that day to pack and load all my stuff!!

OMG St. Patty's Day is coming up!!! Woooo!! I'm going to get drunk while following Ian around... ::drools over the thought of kilts::

I was reading a friends journal today and realized, as she had, that I haven't done anymore of the 100 themes challenge.... I may try working on it again... though I really don't like my intro so I may just start the whole thing over!!! Who knows what I might do with it!

Well thats all for now I guess, have fun and be Devious!

Urban Chicago life isn't bad, I actually really like the places and things there are to do here but with no friends and no money because my job didn't give the hours I needed I'm going back to small town living... or smaller city living anyway. Not sure where I'll be living just yet... I haven't found an apartment but I know it will be in the Roanoke/Christiansburg/Blacksburg/Radford and surround areas.

I really hate that I have to give up my opportunity for Columbia College this way but right now there is just no way I can pay for it. So... I'm moving home and attending Radford (if I get in). My plan is to get my BA in Studio Art (still working on Photography of course) and then if everything works out right I'll come back to Chicago to work on my Masters at Columbia.

I really think I would have liked Chicago more if I'd had at least one friend to go out and do things with. I meet a few people but we only went out once and then there was never any mention of doing anything again. I guess I didn't realize how much of a social person I really was until now.

Alright, down to another issue all together. I'm entering the Photographers Forum Magazine Photography contest this year!!! Finally I'm going to enter. Here's the thing.... I have no idea what I should enter!!!! I've thought about entering Trash The Dress IX (the main image on my page) but I want to enter at least two more photos!

I would love some feedback on what I should submit. All feedback is welcome!

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well. We all can make stuff!

Well of course my last entry was before Christmas so the lovely holiday rush going on at work kept me quite busy. I don't think there was a single day before the Holidays that I wasn't stuck in the kitchen baking up a storm. Let me also tell you that decorating 50 million holiday shaped dog treats is not exactly good for you back! (so 50 million is a serious overstatement but you get the point)

Iain flew out for a visit on the 2nd of Jan. I was sooooooo very happy when he finally got here! Though now I really want to get back home!!!! We spent the weekend about 2 miles from my sisters apartment in Skokie. Had a fun filled day down in the city (Chicago for those who don't know where I am currently) and to start that day off right... we went to Grosse Point Lighthouse and well... lets just say his right foot was mighty cold! Tips for all the kiddies: Don't go walking on Ice if your not sure how thick it is.

On his final day here, Jan 5th, we woke up to a phone call saying that my sister was in labor! So we got ready and packed all our stuff, came back to the apartment and grabbed the few things that they needed at the hospital and we were off to wait. About an hour after we got there Iain and I had to leave... his flight was leaving that night. So we traveled down to Midway around 4pm, had some dinner at Jimmy Johns, then finally got to the airport and waited. It was really hard saying goodbye to him again... I really wish I could have gotten on the plane with him that night but the very next day at 1:13pm my nephew Jack Isaac was brought into the world.

So for the past week, including my birthday, things have been pretty crazy around here and I haven't really been able to do much as far as my artwork and photography are concerned.

I hope to have some updated stuff up sometime in the next week.

Until next time, Peace!

Sadly it takes less time for me to do this than it does for me to finish editing the wedding photos I've been working on. More of those should be up soon. I have about 5 more to edit for the happy couple and we'll see which ones make it on here.

In other news I am off to work then to the lovely Target (not really very lovely)... I am in serious need of some snow boots. Why did I move to Chicago again? OH yeah... my nephew is about to be born thats why...

More updates soon Hopefully!

Sorry couldn't help myself that song has been stuck in my head all day.

Well as you can tell it's been a rather long while since I updated or posted anything on here. I'm sorry for that, I've been well... busy wouldn't describe the situation. Since September I've had to deal with no internet, well ok we had internet but dial up is such a bitch. Anyway I have also just moved out to Chicago for about 4 to 5 months, I'm currently in the process of finding a job so lately all my time has been consumed by filling out applications and walking to turn them in. Seeing as how walking has become my only form of transport, other than the lovely Chicago Transit Bus system... I don't have much time to really mess with things art wise. I hope to have up some newer photos from just before I moved. I did some lovely shots with some friends of mine who just got married and adore the 'trash the dress' concept. I will probably have those up soon, or at least I hope its soon.

While filling out apps and walking to most of my destinations I've also been helping my sister out by cleaning her apartment. She's about 7 months pregnant right now so she needs all the help she can't get.

If you want steady updates on what I'm doing day to day you can check me out here

[link]

I started a daily photo blog, mind you they aren't extremely good photos or anything just something I saw that day or decided I liked, whatever. When I don't go out much there will probably lots of photos of my sisters two cats, Kon and Sly.

Until my next update, keep the juices flowing guys.

Well, the sexy kilted man, from my Ye lords and Ladies journal, is now officially my boyfriend... that happened a few weeks ago actually. We seem to be a perfect match, if you don't believe me ask , or pretty much any of my other close friends that have meet him.

In other life changing news... I'm now headed to Chicago for 5 months to help my sister with the last few months of pregnancy and the first few months with the new baby. I can't afford to pay for Columbia so I'm not going this spring... Fall plans are fairly up in the air for next year. No worries I am still going to get my photography degree... I'm determined to follow this dream!

Before any of you ask... no the kilted man, aka Iain, is not the reason for me not going to Columbia, I seriously can't pay to go so I'm having to resort to plan B. Plan B = make some money and figure out what to do from there.

I have a couple of options but right now I'm thinking of moving out toward Raford and seeing about attending there in the fall. Other suggestions are welcome.

As for updating my work on the site... well that will have to wait a while, I can't upload anything from dial-up and thats my only option at the moment.

Also... Rocky Horror is coming to Roanoke College campus on Sat night!!!! Who all ish going... and what is everyone dressing as on Halloween??

So, I spent the weekend at a Medieval Fair in Salem. OMG it was fun, well, aside from all the rain on Saturday and the fact that I was in a 7 pound velvet dress all day. Thankfully I don't think I got sick from the whole ordeal. (Thank the Gods and Goddesses for that one). Anyway so much news and not sure what to share. I spent most of Saturday walking around by myself talking randomly to people and eat some.... microwave beef and veggi stew in a bread bowl. Was fairly good, but my system tells me taste isn't everything.
While waiting for Heather, Zach, and crew to arrive from Radford I walked around a bit and ended up talking with a very nice guy named Iain. Starting to think kilts should be illegal for the temptations they cause. =X but then again.... the world would be a sad sad place without kilts, me thinks.
I managed to buy a few things at the fair without totally going broke from what money I have left. I found a brass wolf pendant in one of the shops and just couldn't resists myself so.... I definatly bought that. Bought some things from the leather working booth, it was freaking awesome... ahhhhhh leather. Found a few lil witchy items in other booths and bought those as well. Let me tell you that... in a dress and cloak having no pockets, its hard to hold and carry items.... or at least the bigger ones XD. Everyone seemed to love where I kept my money pouch :: wink wink::
Saturday night was fun, they had a mascarade ball, though only about 16 people came out for that and 7 of them were in the group I was with. Twas fun, we had more guys than girls but I got to snag the kilted man as my partner for the dancing. We all ended up at IHOP after that, honestly where else are we going to go in the middle of the night.... its always IHOP! So we eat some foods and chilled for a whiles I managed to take of the damned corset of uber doom and the dress actually looked better without it!!!
Our next stop that night was to the lovey Mal-Wart (your source for cheap plastic crap and shoes that hurt your feet). Then as always seems to happen... I have to be home by 1 am..... soooooo..... we walked back to our cars talked for a while then headed our separate ways.
Sunday was thankfully not so rainy but quite crazy on its own.... this time it was Tony, Amber, Jed and I arriving about 2 pm at the fair... later than I had wanted but oh wells turned out just fine. After watching a few performances and listening to the VA Highlands Pipes and Drums we ran off to O'Charles for some food. Meet up with some other peoples that Tony and Amber knew. Got to hear lovely comments from the wait staff and the man with the kilt was leaving. OMG it was funny listening to all of that! I pretty much almost died from laughing. OH I forgot to mention... I bought Captain Kilt from a lovely gypsy for a bunch of bracelets at the fair... you would have had to been there... twas priceless. Anyways, from O'Charles we ending up at Macadoes and of course it was all planned out that I was the driver so.... not drinks for me. That's all fine and good, cause I made my way to Mill Mountain Coffee with the other/s that couldn't be in the bar so I had a good time without the drinking. Things go so crazy from there I'm not sure I would have to space to write about it but I made it home about 1:30 this morning.


END. hehehe but only for today....

I think I'm going crazy from having nothing to do, I haven't even gotten online in 4 days... I feel lost. There isn't anyone here to really hang out with... everyone is either working or away at school... I almost wish I had just moved to Chicago already.

Sadly it seems I'm about to do something that I swore I'd never do.... I'm putting in an application at Dairy Queen... holy crap I'm about to work in fast food. Can someone shoot me in the forehead already.

I spent the last few days cleaning the house... thats how bored I am. I'll try to have some updates on here soon, you'll all kill me when I do, I think I have about 5 new photos atm, but that could change, I'm thinking about disappearing into the woods for a few hours tomorrow.

Is it sad to say I'm so bored I don't even want to play video games right now?... I think its about time I got outta the house.

Damn, why couldn't I have tried to take my time reading the Twilight series... 4 books in two weeks and now I'm bored to death.

Ok so now I'm just rambling... I'll stop... for now.

I'm sorry I haven't uploaded any new photography for the past few weeks and I've also been lazy with my Disney Princess Pin-ups. Something has to change soon, I know it will.

Half way through my summer job and I'm wishing I had more than 1 day off in a week. I'm spending the day with my mother on Wednesday. She doesn't know it yet but we're going to be painting pictures for the baby on the way! I hope it helps to cheer her up.

There are so many other things I'd love to write about in this journal right now, but I don't think now is exactly the time nor place to put them out there.

Updates coming soon, I hope.

In other news I spent this Saturday Night hanging out with some friends I haven't seen in ages! (Thanks for the invite Sarah!) Watched a really f***ed up movie that I'm not even sure what the name is. Then drove myself home.... being followed by two cops... thankfully I wasn't doing anything wrong so they just went there way and I went mine.

I really want to travel. I'm so ready to just get out and do something.... but I have to wait a whole month to go to a concert with so I'm probably not gonna get much traveling in until then...

My sister called me the other day, she went back to the baby doctor, her baby has a heart beat!!! woooooo! Also they changed her due date... to my B-day, what a good present. Happy Birthday... heres your crying brand new niece or nephew!! I dunno... I'm excited by it but you never know the baby might come early or late...

My sis will be coming home for a few days in August and we're starting to plan her baby shower, we decided that is wasn't going to be the run of the mill kind of shower with all the women of the family gathered around talking nonsense.... we're making it unisex! (that means boys can come too!!) hehehe

Alright well gotta get back to cooking...

In other news... I'm working again! Wooooo... finally. My first week back and again I love it! Although at the moment it means a stop to my random photography expeditions or rather slowed down.

Looks like its back to work for me... I'll edit this later and give you some more updateage!


Edit:

Okay so.... in other news... I've been playing TRo alot this week... mostly due to the fact that its 2x exp week... but also I just like it. And I gets to talk to ppls.

I've started to realize that I'm really planning to move away from everything I've ever known...... even if I don't get into Columbia I'm going to spend a few months in Chicago helping my sister out with her new baby. Its all kind of scary. I've never been far from the comforts of home and family and over there its just gonna be my sister and brother in-law. I won't know anyone else... I also have trust issues... I've never stayed longer than a week in a bigger city then Savannah. Even there I was with lots of family.

Hope I don't spaz out once I get there.

I'll try and get some new photos up sometime next week. Until then... happy hunting! (dA hunting that is)

I've been dealing with some major slow internet lately... unless I mooch off Abu.... hopefully I'll be able to edit some of my new things and post them soon. I can't upload anything when I'm home.

I've got my pieces picked, printed, matted, framed, and ready to hang for the Art Show coming up in July.... sounds crazy that I've got it all done now but.... I start work on the 7th of June so there won't be much time to get it done then. I've chosen to use

Rhododendron Catawbiense
[link]

Slippery When Wet
[link]

The Falls: Minds Paradise
[link]

Which honestly look alot better in print with a nice lustre finish.

Anyways... lots to do and I still have a week off with no work or money... I are sad.

Guess that is all for now... Loves!

I don't have good internet at home so I will mooch what time I have at either Greg or Brandons... I probably won't be able to post much of anything until after I start work in a little over a week from now.

I have not much else to say... see you around...

P.S. I'm working on my application essay as we speak, I'll try to send it out sometime within the next two weeks. argh... then the waiting game will really start.

In other news... nothing else is really happening... I'm sure more things will be planned next week since we graduate on the 9th.

K-Unit, give me a date that would be good for you and Nick so we can plan a trip to Kabuki's!!

ATM has my camera cause I was stupid and left it on campus yesterday... I'm sad cause I wanna waste time and take picutes around campus instead of doing work.

Greg and I are working things out and it seems so much better already. He seems happier and I feel alot better and happier. We still have alot of talking to do but I know we will so I'm not worried as much anymore.

Look for some updates soon, I might post some unfinished stuff from class later on...

Damn... anyway... interesting weekend. Friday, nothing really happened... I went to bed. Saturday started crazy at 7:30am, stupid alarm clock, and it was off to try and sell some art...

...failure, sadly for all of us, , , and all had work set out and... yea... we live in the middle of nowhere.

Saturday night ending up being quite interesting... Girls Night Out... we had dinner then, our only option... goof off in Wal-mart.... yet again we are so far from civilization. I need a vacation...

Today seemed like an ok day... I ending up make two sets of runes... and damn that creek water is AFC (approx. F**king cold). Then it was two and a half hours with a dremmel tool... I'll post pictures later on... they came out quite nicely.

So now I'm sitting in a basement about to go home and sleep.

Happy 4/20 to all and to all a good night (hahahahahaha)

I still have to write my admissions essay for Columbia and I have only a few weeks of school left until Graduation. Argh.... there is still so much to do.

Hopefully soon we ( and many many more) can go out on some huge photography expeditions.

Ok that is all.... I don't really feel like typing anymore.

Argh....

We had lots and lots of desserts today... all of which yummy. Then I played some volleyball and I got paid the whole time!! I love working in Student Activities sometimes.... not always but sometimes...

I'm about to start my newest of drawings for class... I had promised to do a Zombie Pin-up Girl... well I'm still gonna do it... but with a twist... being the fan girl that I am, I can't pass up the chance to use one of my fav. Fall Out Boy songs to draw some inspiration to this one. I'm going to use the lyrics from 'Nobody puts baby in to corner' from 'Under the Cork Tree'.



Drink down that Gin and Kerosene,
And come spit on bridges with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave me be.

I keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I'm not the only one lying.

[Chorus: x2]
Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
And your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure every day.

And I keep my jealousy close,
'Cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
Then I'm not the only one lying.

Drink down that Gin and Kerosene,
And come spit on bridges with me,
Just to keep us warm.
Light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave me...

[Chorus x2]

So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down.
I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
[x3]
[During 3rd repeat:]
(Keep quiet,
Nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.)

[Chorus x3]
[comes back in during chorus 2nd time:]
(So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down.
I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.)


Take the last 5 lines and I'm gonna do something related to that.... might even be a dork and include Pete's Bass... Eventually it might be a tattoo of mine... depends on how it comes out I guess.

We're planning on watching it at 2 on a projector on campus..... Damn I'm a Sweeney Fan Girl!

... I'm to excited to write anything else......

So here goes...

1. Jack and Sally on the curly hill..... I want this on my left leg.
2. Heart locket with a quote below it..... on the back of my neck.
3. Two matching Nautical Stars.... on my lower back with the Kitty that is already there.
4. Purple Iris..... somewhere on my right leg, don't really know yet....
5. Wristband of some kind... not sure yet maybe celtic knot work. or maybe Runes...


Eventually....

Alice in Wonderland Sleeve on my left arm

ok so maybe there will be more or not I'm not sure yet...... we'll see what happens in the next 5 years.... hahahaha.... it might not even take me that long.

I'm going to start filing out my application for Columbia College in Chicago.... depending on whether I get excepted or not my change a few things.....

If excepted I'll be taking photography for the next three years and hopefully Greg and I can keep things going strong... I really don't want to lose him... I love him more than he knows. I know the long distance thing will be tough but I need to get this done I need to follow my dream of being a photographer (the only hard part other than relationships is ummm..... working for National Geographic..... that was my dream as a child) Even if I never work for NG I still want to do something with Photography.

Also... it will be really tough to leave all my close friends... I will only know my sister and her husband if I move...

So the hardest part of this right now is actually filling out the application..... mostly its just making myself do it... then to write the essay and hope that all will go well once submitted.

I have had alot of friends and family supporting me and telling me that this might be the jump I need to make in my life right now. I know Greg is upset with this decision, I know he worries about me being around so many other people and he thinks I might leave him if I move out there. I wish he won't do those things.... I don't want someone else... I want him.

Anyway... guess I'll go work on some drawings for class tonight. Wish me luck!

I've got alot of examples to work off of for my scales, positions, waves, lotus, and cherry blossoms, but I haven't figured out the color scheme for this piece just yet.

Later today I'm taking a tour of Columbia University with my sister, she has really been trying to get me to move out here to Chicago. There are way to many things to think about in that respect. As far a living, she has said that I can live in her apartment rent free until I finish College. Its really tempting because they have a wonderful photography department. And I wouldn't have much to do before I could transfer..... and Dabney is part of the their transfer program so that would all be covered. The tuition is extremely different thought... about 18,500 a year instead of like 3,000. Kind of a scary thought. I also have to think about family, friends, AND Greg. Wow this is gonna be hard.

Don't get any worries just yet... I'll still have to do another year at Dabney before I could even think about a transfer. Unless of course I went to work on more on Culinary.

I'm just mostly writing down my thoughts and concerns in here right now. I haven't decided anything yet.

I'll post more pictures later.

SO... expect pictures within the next few days of my wonderful trip. Hopefully it isn't too cold today, supposed to be in the 20's and 30's with some wind and clouds.

It started to flurry a little when we arrived yesterday, it stopped really quick though. I found it interesting to say the least, as we rode the Metra to Evanston.

Alright, updates...

I posted my Sally Pin-up Girl FINALLY. She's actually been done since last Thursday but I haven't had the time to post her so yea...

I posted a few other things including a picture of my mothers cat Tinkerbell poking her head out of my suitcase.

Anyway, better get going on my big trip into town! I'll update some more later tonight.

Loves YA!

I've been sick since Friday night.... my throat is killing me and swollen as hell. The damn doctor didn't really tell me what was wrong he just gave me some horse pills and said if they don't help then its viral and I'll just have to wait it out.

Damn I hate re-runs... a lot. And that is all that has been on... I have no movies, books, or anything else that I haven't already seen 5 million times.... I really hate being sick.

I have some things I still need to post... the first or a set I'm putting together of Clifton Forge, VA.

Hoping that I don't die... see you later.

I really can't wait to do the photo set of Clifton Forge but I'm having trouble finding a) time b)money for film/developing c) charged batteries for my digital. Also, I think I'm getting sick... my throat is killing me right now and I'm not happy about it.

Not blaming anyone I know, but someone got me sick and there have been so many people around me lately I can't just blame one sooo.... I BLAME YOU ALL! not really... I'm just being a bish

Until next time....

I thought it was amazing getting to meet The Dresden Dolls, I realize just how real they and what they go through. It would be amazing to get some real one on one time with them and find out more about them. It'll never happen and I'm ok with that.

On to other things...

As you can see I've started another drawing class... which I've just realized that my picture is setting at home which means I can't work on it today like I'd hoped.... oh the joy of being a college student and work study..... anyway I've posted the beginnings of my first project. In the end it will look better and be more understandable... the girl is 'drawing' herself thus fitting in to the 'designing women' title. The end picture will have a different name I'm attempting to think up a good one.... right now my ideas are: 'Girl with the Stripped Stockings', 'Her Beginnings', 'Design of Her Own', and 'Desire to Be'. Comments, crit, all the rest if you pls. Ideas welcome....

Until next post.....

See ya around
Ivy

In other news.. I'm pissed. I can't load any of my artwork will at home and school starts Monday (my b-day) which also means work starts Monday. I haven't been able to do my photography set of Clifton just yet... I've been sick since just after Christmas and I didn't help matters much going to the base of a waterfall on a cold day..... I did get a few good pics from the adventure...

Other news.... I'm almost 22, I've lost 6 pounds in the past two months, my tight jeans aren't quite so tight anymore, my hair has red streaks, I have an awesome paint set to play with, I've been with Greg for almost 3 years, and I'm cold. Welcome to my life.

Look for updates later this week...

I did notice that the winners of said contest had used things from the movies site... this kinda pissed me off a little bit. In the rules it said we were only allowed to use the creative resources given, not the movies website....

So yea. Its not that I'm mad I didn't win or anything. I knew I didn't have a good chance since this was the first contest I'd ever entered but what the hell, you know? Rules are rules and it doesn't seem like they were followed by the ones who won the contest...


Anyway I guess I'll stop bitching before I get banned or some shit.

Look for my photography on the way, I plan to do a set of the shitty little town I live in. Might take me all of break but I should have it up in January sometime.
