dream a dream

sleepless night til early morning, dream a dream. imagine, restless, all the things, that come to be, a part of me. slow down, silence, rest in peace. dream a dream, sleep now for me. 

I've been up all night so far looking through archives and albums of photos. I find peoples lives so interesting seeing what they see through through their lenses. Photography is such a beautiful art to me, I love learning more and more about it. I am definitely an amateur, never took a photo class but I know how to read a manual at least. I don't mind being an amateur either, experimenting with something is the best way to learn more about it.

I'm thinking about a perfectly happy life, the one I'll have when I've settled into my artistic style. I'm very unorganized right now it seems, and though I can run my shop well I haven't quite figured out what it is that I'm going to continue to sell and how it's all going to appear to the public. And though photography is just a hobby, a way for me to document my life, I would really like to learn more about it and maybe possibly make a job out of it. For now I'm just having fun with everything and trying not to stress out. I imagine a life full of good, healthy food, organized workplaces, lots of books, time to study on my own, and varieties of hot teas. :)

green tea for me

So much of my life consists of being a homebody, wandering around outside, drinking iced, unsweetened, delicious tea and crafting. I'm finally getting back into using my camera more, having a good phone camera has been so convenient that my other cameras have been missing out on some good shots. I have two awesome digital cameras thanks to my father, and the one that I've been using more and more recently is his old Canon Rebel XSi. I also have some film cameras that my dad has passed down to me including an old Nikon, a Hasselblad and a Polaroid camera that I would really love a chance to use. I've never really used many cameras so I'll need some time to learn the basics first, but nothing needs to be perfect so I think I'll like my random, flawed shots all the same. Film, please?
Well, I've really been enjoying sitting here writing when there's nothing else on my list of things to do about just as much as I enjoy taking little pictures about my life. So, here are some random pictures to go along with my random ramblings.
