My favorite thing to photograph is fireworks. I didn't get to take any pics at the 4th this year though. A panic attack got in the way :{

WE FLY

This time Rosie was traveling on Sunday, so we decided to do the same thing we did last week. Compilation Shmunday!

How is it that I managed to find the most awesome girl in the world, and have her love me in return? Damn I am lucky.
Rosie and I have planned out so much of our future over the last week, it really feels amazing to be part of a team I know are going to make it. Team ARF.

Since I posted the impressionist cake by megpi, I had to post my own favorite photo of a cake. I didn't bake it, just captured it. This is Tammy's wedding cake, Agfa 100 Color, Flash behind pointed at wall, and on F5 camera.

I cried today for the first time in 8 years.

day one ninety one. ms. anonymous. by ::reflecting truth::.


sometimes i just wanna be anonymous... i wanna be able to not answer my phone, not return my emails (1,735 unread flickrmails now). i wanna be able to ignore the doorbell when it rings and turn the other way when i hear my name yelled through a crowd.

i try it on for awhile, i go out of communication, into hibernation.
but as much as anonymity has its perks, i sure as hell miss the people i love.

and there's Lots of 'em.

that being said - i'm going off the map tomorrow til wednesday.

we're going camping on the beach near santa barbara to refuel, recharge and reinstall a spirit upgrade. happy, energized, creative katie v 2.0.

good photos will surely follow. (i hope!)
