Robert Doisneau

I did a report in French on this man and he is really, really neat. He is just a true example of perspective and a real eye for photography. Robert Doisneau est un celebre photographe francais. Il etait ne le 14 avril 1912 dans Gentilly, France. Il est celebre pour son image de 1950: Le baiser de l'Hotel de Ville. He was a really shy and modest guy and had a way interesting background. He did a lot of street photography and took candid's of kids being kids when other photographers weren't looking so much at that. It really goes to show that it is all about the eye, not the equipment and editing software. This man was taking pictures in the 1930s that were just so incredible. Nothing digital, no editing. Just a talent and a beautiful country. I really aspire to be more like him, completely enthralled in what he sees as beautiful in this world.

ME

I have worked hard to get to where I am today, and I am only just beginning. I plan on achieving my dreams one step at a time. I could replace the word "dream" with something like "goals" or "ideals". The best part about life is making stuff happen! I just remembered last weekend that my New Years resolution for 2010 had been to run a 5k. And now here I am doing that everyday plus some! It is such a great feeling to be where I know I am meant to be and doing what I love. I have a plan for myself and a direction I'm headed. How great a thought. 

A Plan

This is the plan. I am going to go shopping, and then I am going to take myself out. Out into the city where people can see me and I can see them. And then maybe on a morning not too long after, I am going to grab my snowboard and a friend and we are going to go to the ski resort where you can barely see our faces in all our bundles. And I am going to embrace the trees and the sky and the slopes. Then I am going to drink tea and cuddle up in my new house. And I am going to find all of the little wonderful things about this new place. At the end of the day I am going to thank God for all that I have and for the beautiful world I live in.

What is Life

My life is like a big jumble of trying to learn constantly, attempting myself as a girlfriend, building endurance and maintaining lovely friendships. 

Siberia helps me through this life. 

& all of her music for that matter. Saviour will FOREVER be my song. My favorite song.

I remember jamming to it when I was fourteen.
My thoughts then were so different from now.

But then again, not so different.

I have always wanted the same things. The way they look is what changes.

And my ability and drive to make them happen.

I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND

I love my boyfriend.

Lyrics

What a great achievement it was
To get a hotel room this late
I bet they charge by the hour here
The kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray
It's not a big problem with me love
You don’t look that hygienic anyway
I’m only here because
I want to twist the structure of my average day
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
You know that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
You know that we hit the ground upright
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
What a great achievement it was
To find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
I’m a non-believer but
I believe in these dirty little wicked games
Snakes and ladders abandoned here love
The climb's too rough to slide back down again
I’m only here because
I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end
I’ve made some bad decisions, I’ll admit that freely
Its just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped in debauchery
So drop your map, drop your plans, drop your five step program
Because there's not an ounce of faith in this leap
It's clear you feel nothing so jump into the fog with me

Halloween
