After lots of retouching and color correction, I have finally photo that I adore. Inspired by my favorite musical, Pippin, this is based (quite literally) of the main character Pippin's idealism and desire to find his own in the world expressed in the song "Corner of the Sky"
This is also my entry for concept collaboration for this month!

The road was full of pot holes,so the workers put soil in those holes creating lots of dirt when the cars would pass over them hence creating such an effect.This man was most probably returning from work quite exhausted as he looked.The light from cars and bikes would create such an amazing effect of light and shadow.It felt like as if your soul is projecting out of your body.The photograph is trying to describe the daily hardship that goes along in a middle class person's life in India.

Stuck between two forces, trying to support the weight from both of them so one does not clash to the other to prevent destruction.
I am almost always inspired by a certain location and when I saw this huge rock/boulder on to the side of the wall/ rock formations I thought of this concept and went into the small space between the rocks.

"A Rose To Say It All"
Model: Michael Lawson
"I wanted her to be my Juliet, and I her Romeo. The dreams of a fool I guess. I loved her deeply with every last bit of my now fallen heart, she was my Juliet and when I went to meet her she was gone, long gone, all I found was a rose to say it all." -Ryan Closson
Many of my images and concepts revolve all around love, what it is, how precious it is, and the life of it... how it sometimes may hurt. The light and the dark of it. The falling in and out of it, the strength to come out of the shadows of life and love and well also the story of those that do not.
What is more painful that the fall from love?

I'm starting a new serie, about the 'light' we want to show to people. We want to look bright, at our best, always happy and beautiful, all the time, everywhere, especially on social media. But what if that bright light we show made people invisible, I mean with no personality, no contrast, no shapes. We try to be sunny, but when you get to know people, we discover that we are not as bright as we seems to be.
Hope you'll like it :-)

So as it has been pretty apparent I have not been happy with a lot of my photos lately. And this is no exception. I'm still in a slump, but only because it's caused by myself. The easiest way to put it is that my work feels so weak from where I want it to be. but I know that by pushing myself so hard I know I'll get there. I've gotten to know myself pretty well and what I need to do to get where I want to be.
Now the reasoning behind this photo. This is one of my original ideas for this months Concept Collaboration theme "The World of the Others". As soon as this theme was released I immediately thought of it as not the work of the others, but the parts of ourselves that we don't share with others, or even ourselves to some degree. At some point we break, wear down, and it never a good ending when we break.
Another thing I do with my photos is have a billion variations. Pushing each on till they break, then bring it back just before the breaking point. One of the variations for this shot was have a little bit of smoke come out of the broken window panes to represent the fact that I'm still working really hard on this project, even if it's not coming out just the way I want it to. But it was still a little to much to I took it out. I really like the amount of blank space, it's simple enough as it is, and tells a full story.
p.s. I've become really good at b.s. meanings for photos if you even need help justifying something.
How were your weekends, do anything cool, exciting, notable? Give me the details. (this is a chance to live vicariously live a weekend thought you as I no longer have free time)
The world of the others, its a world of quiet beautiful battles. How stark and startling of a reality it must have been when the first doctor uttered the possibility of cancer. Its a foreign reality that happens to others, its always others, but never yourself.

“Stars, too, were time travelers. How many of those ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light not yet come this far? If all the suns but ours collapsed tonight, how many lifetimes would it take us to realize we were alone? I had always known the sky was full of mysteries—but not until now had I realized how full of them the earth was.”
― Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Today I got up extra early to shoot during the sunrise only to find out that the sky was covered in clouds. I was a little disappointed because I had to think of something else. But I've been wanting to do another shot similar to day 92. Theres something super satisfying about it. I've also been wanting to shoot something for Concept Coloration this month but I've been so stumped on what to create (then I figured out what I wanted and had the weather turn me down). Seeing as I really wanted to do something for CC I made this instead. I love the light of the moon. It's like a comfort blanket for the night. So in the end this was my interpretation of this months theme "The Catalyst of Light". I also tried to use my own picture of the moon I took a few years back, but do to the camera I used I couldn't blow it up without losing the detail. So I found a nice on the the creative commons. So here are the two images I used that I found on the creative commons

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend. I'm in the middle of painting my room all white. I will no longer have to deal with the pain of colour correcting green skin (my room use to be a vibrant basil green. I also went out to go but the last of my school supplies and the art store I went to had NOTHING I need. I was a little disappointed. I'll just have to wait until Monday to get everything from the bookstore on campus. At the end of the day all is well.
This concept was something I wanted to do for a long time but I didn't know if it was going to work out. So I decided to take a testshoot. There was no testmodel available so I had to model it myself. I prepared the setting, got all the candles on the right place, and positioned my tripod. Right from the beginning I knew it was going to be hard work, I still don't have a schutter remote so I needed to press the shutter myself and then quickly run to the middle of those candles, take a position and do this over and over again.
I have to say I'm quite happy about this testshot (and some others too), I know it's not quite done yet, there can be some improvements, but I will definitely do a remake of this one with a real model.
I hope you'll like it. I definitely had fun making this one, so I decided to start with a 52 weeks project. I'm looking forward to it!

In a dream I imagined a takeover of our world from the others who came here at first unnoticed, slipping into the depths of the forest to hide until the time was right. And then it would begin...the slow blanketing of every living thing in a sheet of liquid darkness.

"I am here, you are there, love is our cross to bear."
Love. <3
The greatest force in this universe known to man. More powerful than the sun. Stronger than the pull of the moon. It is invisible and it is unmeasurable. It is an active force of the soul capable of the most joyous amazing light that can move mountains and transform you in the blink of an eye. Balance is necessary, because of this love can also bring the darkest, most agonizing and destruction pain that no soul can imagine. Insanity.

You must forgive yourself.
Even if you are at peace with the world, your inner storm will consume you if you refuse to show kindness to yourself.
The series is called "Morning rituals the girl" and I got inspired by the theme "World of others" from Concept Collaboration.
Hope you guys love it as much as I do! :D

Hey guys!
So I'm not really sure where this idea came from but I'm diggin it. Lately I've been feeling really inspired. I'm not sure if its my classes pushing me to create more art that shows who I am, or if I'm just hitting a streak of inspiration, but lately I can't stay away from my camera or photoshop. It's been fantastic to feel this much creativity again. Many of you who have followed me from the beginning know how up and down my art work can be. But keeping inspired can be really difficult. Life, jobs, relationships and friendships, and school can become overwhelming and working 2 jobs right now and going to school is hard to balance with doing what I love. But for some reason lately, that passion and drive has kicked in and it feels as if I've come through the void thats been blocking me for so long, creativity-wise. It's such a refreshing feeling to create what I want to create and not have a care in the world about what judgement I'll receive or what bad opinions and messages will come from what I post.
I think I've finally reached a point in my art career and my life that I'm making the art work I want to see in this world.. the things that come from within that I think about, and being able to bring them to life is just amazing. Once you stop creating for others and create what you love, it makes your passion and drive that much stronger.

Stay in one place too long and sometimes it really seems that you can feel the grass growing underfoot. That’s when you know for certain that it’s time to move on.

For Concept Collaboration's May theme: The Grand Adventure :D
The lovely Sammy (pictured here) met up with me and Danielle to take photos at Evergreen Brickworks in Toronto on Saturday! We took this in a tunnel and it was freezing cold.
This is my contribution to Concept Collaboration! The theme this month is 'the catalyst of light'. With this image I wanted to portray being lost and looking for light to guide you. I also really love this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY9b6jgbNyc

So my internet has been down for awhile now, not sure how long. And I just remembers that I can turn on a hot spot with my phone... whoops. I guess that could have been put up sooner. Anyway this is my shot for thins months theme "the spiral" for Concept Collab. First on the down side. It didn't go as planned. Originally I was going to make a human sided nest out of really branes. but right as I began constructing it I knew it wasn't going to work. On the bright side i was still able to follow through with my idea. Though it's not the way I had imagined it (with lots of twigs poking out here and there and being really rough) I have completed it none the less.
Sometimes you have to work past your difficulties until it work, other times you just have to drop everything and find a new solutions.
My thought was that life is a twist and at times can really suck. My friend wrote an article about immigration and how that has effected not just her and her family but everything as a whole. I hate the fact that white privilege is a thing. And at time yes society can be progressive, but right on the other hand we're not. I mean I feel like North America really tries to waltz around it's errors. All countries in fact. There are so many thing I could say right now that create a spiral of emotions for me, and I really with I had the education to fully back up my feelings. Not to say I don't understand and have no knowledge on the topic at all. I just feel like I need more to make a solidified argument.
I can say this. Life is not fair. People can suck, a lot. And I hope that one day we wont have to go through the struggle bashing opinions. WE all deserve the right to speak, the right to live freely as we so chose, and the right to our opinions, religions, cultures, and beliefs.
Some say life goes on in a circle, but I believe it progresses more like a spiral. Even may repeat, but the people who take part in them are different. With that the sequence of events will be played out differently cause the story to slowly turn.
At the end of the day I can only live for myself. And treat people the way I believe they all deserve to be treated, equally. I'll end my weird description here for tonight and I might add some more tomorrow when hopefully my internet is back up. I can really afford to go over my data limit right now so have a good week.
