Who says winters (even weird ones) in Kansas can’t be beautiful?
Just recently I received a chain email from my mother of all people. This email was talking about the new forever stamp that celebrated a muslim holiday, and how we as Americans should boycott this stamp. I was completely thrown by receiving this email because as a child I was taught by my parents to accept different people with open arms. I think people have a misconception about those with different beliefs or different ideas, especially when talking about Muslim believers. After receiving this email, I forwarded it to everyone that had already received this email explaining that America came to be because of religious discrimination, and that Muslim believers have a right to be celebrated as a group as well as Christians, Catholics, Athiests, Agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, etc., and that teaching ignorant ideas breeds hate and creates wars. This is caused by lack of understanding other groups who are not necessarily so different from anyone else. Radical thinkers who want to harm other groups for being different are those whom are wrong, and there are radical thinkers in every group dynamic. Why should we automatically assume that everyone is the same, even though logically we know everyone is different?
It’s been so long since I’ve posted. I’m letting myself down in some ways. However, I have been so busy working on projects. Newest thing I’m going to be participating in is the Sketchbook 2012 tour. Super Excited about this!!!!

Photo Series about the relationships between Humans and Nature. Caffenol Developed and Printed. Encaustic Wax Coated. Mostly organic alternative techniques to regular development and printing. 30 hours total spent in the darkroom to create a magnificent piece. So happy with my results.
I ruined some film today. This is the result.
Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he’s coming home late.
And he’s bringing me a surprise.
‘Cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice.
I’ve waited for a long time.
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair’s on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.
“Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn’t turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it burn
I’m so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain’t changed, but I know I ain’t the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin’ dreams
I think her death it must be killin’ me”
I love my kitty Bear. ^_^
I have been soooo busy with class. Finally experienced a bit of sunburn today. Surprising it hasn’t happened earlier. In other news I gave my professor a print of a photo that he really loved. He commented that he could stare at it all day. That really meant a whole lot to me because I respect him so much. Anyways he was really excited about it and is going to be framing it and hanging it in his office. Today was good.
