I'm going to start posting videos on my YouTube account. :) Here's my first one!

Little Lost Souls

Alone

A leathered spirit, cold and hard. There's nothing that can break the spell cast upon that which is gone. 

My heart aches for my friend. One friend, my only friend. A listener, a thinker, a wise little soul. 

He led me to the gardens without a word. I followed, small feet stumbling over loose earth and thick weeds. 

I learned all I know from him. 

Once a lonely, lost soul. Now again. With only these feathers to remind me of what once was. 

Tears of ebony fall, hot reminders, staining my freckled skin.

A gentle blow of the wind whispers to me, haunts me. 

Alone. Alone. Alone.

The Return

She remembered these fields, the way the wind pushed the tall grass towards her pale, itchy legs. Always barefoot, always laughing.

She remembered her cat, and the way she would greet her with a playful nudge of the paw.

But black tar filled her lungs, pressing and folding into bitterness, an all consuming ache. Once hot joy spilled from her heart, a tangible substance so smooth and sweet on the tongue.

Returning to pungent smells overwhelming, nothing can change the memories burned into her mind.

Nothing will be as it was, nothing will continue.

The ache will remain, and the magic will forever be lost. It's best to forget, to bury the past so deep beneath the ground, nobody can get to it again before it rots.

Time to start again. Alone.

Photo Set: I Will Protect You

Behind the Scenes: I'll Be Here Waiting

I've been wanting to blog about my photo adventures for quite some time now. Being a new year, I suppose it's a good time to do just that. I hope you will enjoy the journey!

"I'll be here waiting"

I tromped around in the woods after work, looking for a location that called out to me. This was the one! Until I noticed there was a house to the right of this picture, literally in the middle of the woods. There were enough trees between myself and the house, that I risked shooting a couple nudes in this spot. Not my best idea ever...and when I was ready to shoot, I realized I had a dead battery with me. I completely forgot about the one on the charger I was supposed to grab on my way out. I thought about calling it quits, but I was feeling way too inspired. So I threw on my clothes and ran back. I had to run super low because of my hair. I think the forest wanted her thorns back. :(

I took quite a few photos that were completely out of focus and oddly framed, such as this one. When I got back to my camera and saw them, I decided to just move onto another location. One doesn't exactly have a lot of leisure time while shooting in the snow. Not to mention I had to creep over to my spot hidden from the house's view (just in case) in my clothes and then throw them to the side when I got ready to shoot. I was really freaked out. Freaked out and freezing!

Here, have a crazy picture of me in my pajama pants (easy to slip on and off) at my second location. I wish I would have taken a better picture of the trees there. They were reaching towards each other. Yay for tree arches!

P.S. Thorns = Ouch (and they're really hard to get out of hair.)
