the ave

the days are starting to alternate between monochromatic gray and color now. just a few snapshots i took while walking up the ave (it's a sort of mini village where you can find coffeeshops, restaurants and a few random places,, all on one road)
i miss shooting, i haven't really taken pictures in a while. wish finals weren't coming up..

no words

model: naomi


only a quiet moment wishing, waiting

golden girl

i was walking out after oceanography class and found this place. biked up to the dorms and made my roommate ashley model (she's wonderful for cutting off her nap just to take pictures with me). it was a serene kind of pretty; not summer, but a sort of golden autumn. the leaves scattered on the ground looked alive again

bareback.

she is lindsey, the horse is puff

shot this one afternoon in new jersey this summer

just a collection of pictures i shot of gabriella around the university campus a week or so ago

my roommate jo (jo for joelle), lamp lit

i'm so happy with college life right now. i can do everything; soccer, meet people, explore. i'm taking twenty credits this quarter so i'm always busy (typing this is my procrastination from oceanography reading and let me tell you, there's a lot of it) but i love it anyways

oh and look forward to new pictures soon! just finished off three shoots and i have another this weekend.  but what can i say, sleep is for the weak

sorry for being dull

it hasn't been much of a blog lately, has it? i'm so incredibly sorry for not updating this space, so here's a few pictures + words from the past few weeks

i like it when the sun dyes the clouds some extraordinary color you've never seen or thought existed. like golden pink. or red tangerine, like the kind in grapefruits, only softer

i took this photo with my iphone a sunny after-day in new jersey this summer. who says cell phone cameras aren't any good!

sitting with friends on alki beach, soaking up the last of summer

even though i've only done efs (early fall start) and haven't started the actual autumn quarter yet, it feels like i've already been in college for a while. i like it here. the campus is pretty and seattle is unlike any other city i've been to; tokyo, nyc, hong kong, beijing, etc. pike's place reminds me of a small, quaint seaside village tucked away behind mountains. the people here are wonderful also. i was walking to fifth avenue with my friend lily and a stranger tapped me on the shoulder and asked if i forgot my angel wings. i didn't understand him at first. i suppose to some people this would be weird, but i've never had anyone randomly approach me and give me a compliment. it was sort of nice

it'll be so interesting when everyone moves in for school. i've talked to my two roommates already and they're lovely (both on the inside and out), not to mention we're right outside the girls' bathroom and on the second floor. can't say i have anything to complain about! and i just got a new bike today (returned my old purple one to the store), i've named it ray because it's a raleigh, haha. i need to stop naming everything i own
