Bored in Oklahoma

what do I do to make the road trip more interesting? play with photoshop and long exposure.







this is a work in progress. don't judge it yet.

window to reality.


my piece of peace when I'm overwhelmed with the world and the people in it. I love the trees outside the window, the times when sunlight sneaks through it to warm my bed, when laughter floats in through it, when rain spits on it, when lightning lights my room through it, when wind howls against it. 
it's my new reality when I'm sick of the old.

ha!

stupid love.

resolute.

I wish more people were truly resolute. 
People hear the phrase "New Years Resolution" and it now means something you follow for three weeks and then forget about... what about that is resolute? Absolutely nothing.
Yet the idea behind them is beautiful and intriguing. People desire to use the start of a new year to bring about the start of a new beginning for themselves - the beginning of something exciting, something that betters themselves and the world around them, something that stretches them and changes them and brings them to become the person they desire to be. I think that's wonderful.
So while I won't be making any official resolutions, I will be resolute in my desire and pursuit of change. I read Romans 12 yesterday. I want to be a Romans 12 woman. That is my "resolution". This is in no way anything that will be accomplished in the space of 2011... but I'll get there eventually. But I'm going to begin to become... now.

excerpt from my aesthetics/photography paper notes.

Reading what Arthur C. Danto had to say about the idea that art reaches its apex in fulfillment when being appreciated as a source of pleasure helped me realize my semi-indifferent attitude about the way people view art. He was offended, and seemed to say, “How would a woman feel if you told her you only keep her around because she’s beautiful or sexy?” But as for my feelings on the subject, let others view art as they may... only as a lovely thing to look at, or as something to ignite, to illuminate, to inspire. Art is powerful and moving no matter how one views it... let it show some that there is beauty and goodness and loveliness in the world, let it show others truths about God, about people, and about life - and let them be changed. I shall let them view as they please, and look for the deeper myself.
