Just Because ...........

Because Love is important, and expressing it is even more important to me. I listen to this every morning. I grew up on great music. Super grateful.

LORNA SIMPSON

Im realizing i may be a slight feminist. Lol I'm ok with that actually. I always the most intrigued by women and how we choose to express ourselves and fully. When we live outlaid beyond what we are "supposed to be". I watched a short documentary that included Lorna Simpson years ago. Since Im in this class, I decided to learn a little more about her. She's actually pretty amazing. He choice to explore women, gender, equality in her own way that often times merged photography and film is pretty cool. She challenges views on beauty in society often. 

IM NEVER HAVING KIDS...AND I MEAN IT

OVER THE WEEKEND A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINES ASKED ME TO TAKE PICTURES OF SOME KIDS TO PROMOTE HER KIDS CLOTHING STORE. LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY I WAS SUPER APPREHENSIVE. KIDS ARE STRESSFUL! I LOVE KIDS, I AVE MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS ALMOST EVERYDAY I HELP COPARENT SEVERAL KIDS, WITH ALL THAT SAID I STILL DONT LIKE TO BE AROUD TO MANY AT ONCE. NONE OF THESE KIDS LISTENED, ALL 8 OF THEM WERE IN THEIR OWN WORLD THE ENTIRE TIME. PART OF ME WAS IMPRESSED, BECAUSE WHO THE HELL WANTS TO TAKE PICTURES THE FIRST NICE DAY IN A LONG TIME?! THE BUDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN ME WANTED THEM TO SIT THERE ASSES DOWN SO WE COULD FOCUS. THEY MADE MY DAY. THEY REAAFIRMED ALL MY THOUGHTS...JUST NEVER HAVE KIDS

WHO DOESNT LOVE WARHOL?!

WHEN I SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT ARTIST I REALLY DIG I THINK ABOUT THIS GUY. I ALWAYS LOVE AN ARTIST WHO WONT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS DIRECTLY HAHAHA. IM SUPER INTRIGUED BY HOW HIS MIND WORKS. 

One of the coolest things about him to me was how he always called himself a virgin. Every single time I read that I'm super intrigued. He spoke often about how he loved being a mystery. I kinda feel the same way. I hate answering too many questions. 

His life fascinates me. 

I suggest you guys check out his life.

Self Love

So for as long as I can remember I have always marched to the beat of my own drum. Ive always been me. A little bit of a nerd really and Im totally ok with that. I've never apologized for my views or my choices. I've made plenty of mistakes. In each of them I've learned so much about myself. This clip from Zoe Saldana interview expresses exactly how I choose to live my life. I just want to fully figure out who i am by exploring all aspects of myself.

INSPIRATION THE ONE AND ONLY GORDON PARKS

One of the Artist I fell in love with long ago was Gordon Parks. I always felt like he photographed the most simplistic images and made them Spectacular. Im so in love with photograhps that capture the time period.

The man was absolutely brilliant. A filmmaker, artist, photographer, writer and musician, he literally did it all. I love that his career took off in his mid 20s. His awards are countless, he was simply a profound man. I pray I continue to group and stretch myself to try out all aspects of art.
