in memoriam [5/31/10]

Memorial Day. My pictures have been pretty sub-par lately and I apologize, but it seems like I've been all over the place. I need to start feature hunting or something, finding better to content. Kind of hard though in a small town when you're not working for a newspaper or anything.

open for business [5/30/10]

Our pool is open! The official start to summer! :]

meet me in roseville [5/29/10]

I hate that my cousin Joe lives so far away from me, because he is my favorite cousin and I wish we could see each other more often than we do. But I drove to Roseville on Saturday to spend some time with him and his friends and had a blast, so it was nice.

on the road again [5/28/10]

I feel like I've been driving so much lately. I guess I should get used to it this summer though seeing as how my internship is out of Ubly, Mich., two hours away. The weather has been amazing lately and I've been having such a great vacation! I know that I need to get serious about finding another job though. I don't want another summer to go by where I go back to school just as poor as I was when I got out in May.

summer shadows [5/27/10]

My sister bought my mom a beautiful hibiscus plant and it looks great in our garden out front. I love this flower, it's awesome and seems so exotic to be in an american backyard.

My best friend and I were planning to go to the beach tomorrow, but didn't end up going. So we made sure that we would go today, especially since it was supposed to be the hottest day of the week. And boy, it was! We went to the Holly State Recreation Area and posted up on the lake. It was so nice and relaxing. Summer is great.

a hard day's night... [5/25/10]

...and he's been workin' like a dog. I suppose there are certain ways that people deal with constant double shifts. Everyone has a way of making it through the long day.

summer feet [5/24/10]

Experienced Veits Woods in Mount Pleasant for the first time and I am so glad I did. Sean, Libby, Leah and I decided to walk through and check out the river and the woods and it was so beautiful. There's nothing better to me than spending the entire day outside surrounded by nature.

you're my blue sky, you're my sunny day [5/23/10]

I'm loving the weather this week. It feels like how August weather was last summer. Second to Autumn, this truly is my favorite season. I love the warm and the sunshine. I know I'm going to have to end up moving out of Michigan after I graduate..

samantha [5/19/10]

Samantha wanted me to take some outdoor pictures of her for her senior pictures/open house. It's crazy how those events happened so long ago for me. I'm getting old :\ Anyway, it's definitely not hard to produce some beautiful pictures of her, because she is gorgeous herself and was a great model. This is one of my favorite shots of her.

downtown hoedown [3/16/10]

I went to the Downtown Hoedown yesterday with my best friend Elyse. It was the last day of the festival weekend. Completely crowded, but still a pretty good time. A lot of interesting people in attendance for sure. These were a few of my favorite photos that I took. So what if there are three for my 'photo a day' summer project. There is still at least 'a' photo for the day, right?

a beautiful casualty [3/15/10]

So I decided that for the summer, I'm going to make it my goal to make a picture every day. Yes, this concept is pretty much like everyone else's "365" projects, I do realize this. And so what if I'm taking on the idea for myself? It will be the same, but only throughout the summer. And who knows, maybe I will continue it on afterward. I want to keep my creative juices flowing, and Davisburg is not exactly the most thrilling place to be staying at, so this will give me something to do.

Anyways, this is my first picture. My Dad was working outside for hours when I got home today, and just before we started eating dinner, he came in from being out in the yard and showed me these sad little feathers. He found what was left of some poor, beautiful little birdie. Poor fellow.
