today, well the past 3 days have been hard for me. i went for almost a week without taking my antidepressant and i'm paying for that now. feelings of anxiety, and being afraid are very real and i'm working to tamp that down. also the feeling of hopelessness like my life is never going to get any better. like there will never be good times with my family together. i don't know how much longer i can stand this. i mean i say 'how much longer' but really i have no other choice but to stand it. it sucks. it's like having to take really nasty cough medicine all day everyday and you don't know when you'll ever get to stop taking that fucking medicine. sorry to be so bleak it's just the state of mind i'm in.
i did sell a photograph last night so that was a pleasant surprise. but the first thing i thought, instead of yay i sold a piece of art, i thought great what terrible thing is going to happen to compensate for this little good thing?
i'm so tired. just really tired.

must have lost her
i love dia de los muertos. the symbolism the skulls and skeletons combined with lively colors is really appealing to me. i bought some halloween stuff at the dollar store and decided to shoot some pictures. i like this one with the shadow well defined and the off kilter composition.

every man i fall for
i shot a whole series with this surprise concept. i was trying to be more conceptual in my self portraits although i'm not usually. i did like the way this one turned out and the b/w tone really works well with the content.
you were the last
if i had the money i would definitely shoot more analog, but all we have locally are shitty drug store film developing places and i don't like the way the pics turn out. well that's just an excuse really. while i love analog and have tons of analog cameras i still prefer digital for the instant gratification. does that make me shallow?

namaste [ 5.365 ]
i shot this one last night, there was hardly any light so it turned out really grainy. but i still like it. this is for the TtV 365 group on flickr.

Stop Sign TtV

I so enjoy through the viewfinder photography. I'd have to say it's my favorite technique. The vintage quality is really appealing. And I love that I can get lo-fi images instantly. no waiting to see how the shot turned out. What more could a girl ask for in a technique?
I've listed this image in my Etsy shop. Sizes 4x4, 5x5 and 8x8, larger sizes are available upon request. Hope you like it!
