Michigan City in Indiana, you look pretty. It’s such a quaint little town, right on Lake Michigan. There’s a lot of sand and it’s beautiful. Isn’t it funny that giant piles of sand can be fun to look at? My skirt and jacket are from Anthropologie and my sneakers are from NTC Lincoln Park. These…

The first photo above is from a post I made Nov. 17th, 2011. The pictures following are from a few mornings ago. Which one do you prefer? I love filtered light so much.

My birthday was a few weeks ago, so to celebrate, I went zip-lining in New York, Texas. The sensation of flying is the best feeling in the world. And the views were gorgeous. There was even a coke bottle in the sky that day. Can you see it?

backbones and shoelaces

I love that sweet spot of abstracting something just enough so that you can still tell what the object is but yet envision it as other objects. Hm. That might not have made sense all typed out like that. It sounded right in my head. Tell me what you think about this photo. To me the shoelaces resemble…

Lolla 2013

If Chicago was the city it is in the summer all year round, this would be the greatest city on earth. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. We all just say the winter makes you really enjoy those summer days. Well, the warm days are almost over, and I’m eating up as much of the fun…
