rocketeer

let's flyyy, where we go we don't need a road, where stop oh nobody knows 

I love it when people cover songs, because sometimes the original gets old and boring and it's refreshing to hear a new take on a song.

Finals are over! Annnnd, I can deal with a 3.7GPA. Not too bad for being gone an entire week before finals, and not always "putting my heart" into my projects. heh. I've left my over-achieving, home-schooled-self back in high school. ;)

This past Saturday I was third shooter (yeah, there were three of us), for my first "real/big" wedding.  It was an experience, and solidified my belief that I do not want to be a wedding photographer. 

Note : all photos were shot for Kester Imagery. Check out their work, it was a pleasure / honor to work with them!  


 Beautiful bride Sarah and husband Matt! 

Yes, I befriended the dog. 

such a fun lil' crowd


 cupcakes! AMAZING homemade cupcakes, I might add. 

gorgeous downtown "warehouse" venue, at sunset the light filtered in through the windows and hit the tables and flowers.

No man can walk out on his own story.
Sometimes I fear that my life isn't going the way it "should" or something. Which is ridiculous, I know. God knows all, I cannot walk out of His will, I cannot walk out of my own story. 
(Yes, this is a quote from Rango)

Lastly, something unexpected happened. I took a friend's senior pictures, and she went to get them printed at Wal-Mart and they refused to give them to her after they were printed because they looked too professional and they were afraid of breaking copyrights. So, she contacted me and I had to sign a "Copyright Ownership Indemnification Agreement". (dun dun dunnn) Anyway, she shouldn't have a problem now since I've "released" the photos to be printed. 

I obviously know about photo copyrights and stuff, but this surprised me. I mean, from a photographer's standpoint it makes sense, and really I should be thankful for it. But, from just a friend's standpoint, I'm like "Psh!! Whatever". 

Although I must admit, I'm a little bit proud they thought that looked so professional that they couldn't give them out. ;P

Alright, that's all for now folks! Another certain friend is bugging me to get this post finished, so I thought I might as well wrap things up.  :P

from the west to the east

From the west to the east, I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet  
Love Letter to Japan - by The Bird And The Bee 
 I've had that song stuck in my head all day, but also I wanted to share this incredible video! It's "The Twelve Girls Band" performing a cover of Coldplay's "Clocks" using only traditional Chinese instruments.  
It's unlike any cover you've ever heard, and a beautiful mixture of the western and eastern cultures. :) :) 






Also, tonight I went outside and froze just to get this picture.
(for the today being incredibly warm, I was horribly shocked by the coldness of the evening. seriously. heh)
