"there is nothin' fair in this world
there is nothin' safe in this world
and there's nothin' sure in this world
and there's nothin' pure in this world
look for something left in this world
start again."

For you who have chosen to dive deep with the creatures we cannot name
or you who never chose to fall so far but caught a wisp of cloud on the way down,
For you who takes a lifetime to say Yes after No has stolen your voice
and you who must die a fiery death to be reborn the whole piece you were searching for.
We are the seekers who find ourselves in the cloak of darkness where we know Creativity is born
and the builders who dig deeper than dirt to find the pillars of our strength,
We are the many and the few who are alone and all at once encompassed by solidarity.
We search for moments that rip us apart so that we feel alive.
We search for the switch that turns time slower so that we can replay the hideous and beautiful.
For you who cannot speak out loud the names that you wish you had been assigned
or you who looks behind your shoulder every morning to make sure your shadow obeys,
and you who falls to bruised knees to beg for a chance that long passed you by.
To us who need to turn the page and see nothing written but the space to write –
Begin.
To us who close a book and wish we had never opened it for ending inspiration –
Begin.
To us who have fallen deep into the plagiarisms of other author’s stories –
Begin.
And to us who have begun and have been told too many times to end –
Begin again.
This is the first image in my new series, Begin Again. Exploring identity, I asked myself who I am and why I am. In asking those questions, I explored identity very deeply: what are our influences, how do we internalize those influence, and what expectations does society have for us?
I created this new body of work earlier this year, and it is on display in NYC at the JoAnne Artman Gallery through August 2019.
This image, "Contain", gives a visual exploration of the boxes we feel placed in, or the boxes we put ourselves in. What labels define you? In what ways do you feel trapped?
I can't wait to share the rest of it here with my Flickr family!

I always feel excitement when autumn is approaching - every year, it feels like the beginning of a new phase in life. Maybe this has to do with childhood memories...a new school year was approaching, I was getting together with my friends again after summer, maybe making new ones, gaining new knowledge and having new experiences.
At the beginning of autumn, many fields near my home are filled with sunflowers. They are like happy yellow exclamation marks, an to me, they symbolize a fresh start. My classroom days are over a long ago, but I am still developing, and enjoying it!🌻
For this week's Self Portrait Sunday theme: "Excitement"
SOGLIA.
CIGLIO.
RACCOGLIMENTO.
RESPIRO.
SLANCIO.
STACCO.
PARTENZA.
TUTTO DRITTO FINO ALLA LUCE.
THRESHOLD.
BRINK.
CONCENTRATION.
BREATH.
MOMENTUM.
TAKE-OFF.
START.
STRAIGHT ON INTO THE LIGHT.

Il titolo BEGIN AGAIN è tratto da/Title from: Clannad & Bono, In A Lifetime
Lyrics
"Hard to tell
Or recognize a sign
To see me through
A warning sign
(First the thunder) Satisfied
(Then the storm) If the past it will not lie
(Torn asunder) In the future you and I
(In the storm) Get blown away
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
And as the rain it falls
Begin again
Heavy in my heart
As the storm breaks through
Believe the light in you
So the light shines in you
Without color, faded and worn
Torn asunder in the storm
Unless the sound
Save your body's soul
Unless it disappears
(First the thunder) Selfish storm
(Then the storm) Hold on the inside
(Torn asunder) One life
In the storm
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime
In a lifetime"

2008 - Day 366
The Year In Review
Well, last year, I finished the hoping that this year would be better than the last and honestly, it has. This year has been incredibly eventful, I graduated from highschool , I went off to college, I got my license and can finally drive, I got a car, I went to prom, I spent the summer working at Food Lion, I got a new iPod, I learned to play the ukulele , and I wore a pair of jeans for the first time in 10 years. I've found a group of friends that I really get along with, and I've gone under the knife and had major jaw surgery. I also took two trips to Washington DC once in January and once in May, went on a cruise to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and went rafting in West by god Virginia, went to an Eddie Money concert and moved from a a beach house on Ocean Isle Beach to what is now my home in Little River, SC.
In the realm of politics, this year I met Fred Dalton Thompson, John McCain and Mike Huckabee and I attended the Republican Debate in Myrtle Beach SC. I also heard Bill Clinton speak in Whiteville, NC. I was the campaign photographer for Will Breazeale, a republican candidate for congress, he lost in November, but he's running again in 2010.
In college I've had two room mates, Nick, a nice guy but a little too much of a "free spirit" for us to work well as room mates, and Dan, a saxophone playing goody-good type who aspires to remain a virgin his entire life, raise weimaraner, grow a beard and become an english professor. Dan, If you're reading this, you actually said that, I'm not making it up. I have a 3.3 GPA after my first semester and overall I'm really enjoying my college experience even though I haven't gone to a single party or engaged in any elicit activities. I've watched 4 sunrises after staying up all night and I have driven a little over 5 thousand miles since I've had my car, mostly between home and school for the many doctors appointments I had leading up to my surgery.
In the world of photography, I've upgraded from a D200 to a D3, I've bought 2 new lenses (Nikon 50mm f/1.4, Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8), I've gotten over 50,000 photostream views, 75,289 over all and well over 100,000 views on my pictures. I've gotten over 2 thousand comments and talked to all sorts of wonderful photographers. I've handed my camera over to 3 different people (My mother, Ginny and my sister) and posted their pictures on flickr, Not to mention how much I've learned and improved over the last year.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has commented on my pictures or looked at my photostream over the last year, It's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing how much everyone will improve in 2009.
This actually marks the end of my first real 365(6) set, but don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I've still got my "Life in Pictures" set that I don't have any intention of stopping. I'm currently on day 688.
Well now I'm rambling so I'd like to say Happy New Year to everyone and good luck with 2009.

Sure some parts could've been better, but this will do for now! Everyone! Guess what my mom and dad are buying me for a little 'thank you' gift? Lips! It's a game similar to karaoke.. I'm so excited to play it. Oh i'm a goof! Haha!

" The principle of fashion is.....the principle of the kaleidoscope.
A new year can only bring us a new combination of the same elements,
and about once in so often we go back and begin again. "
..........Katharine Fullerton Gerould ... ( 1879 - 1944 ).
.....U.S. author.
Looking back on it, '30' was really good to me - meeting lifelong friends for the first time, an expanding in my style of collecting, a general surer sense of self - and with my having a monday birthday it's overall been very low-key, which is what I can only hope is a sign that this year will be even better than the last one.
After years of pressuring myself over what has or hasn't been done, the goals I met later than I wanted or just being too hard on myself in general I'm finally starting to learn how to relax my impossibly high self standards to live a fuller life.
I'm not what 31 holds for me but if it's anything like 30 I welcome it fully.
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
Long time no see,
Feels good to finally post something on my Flickr photo stream. Lately I've been busy with what people call "growing up". It sure is a huge transition from being a high school student to paying all your own bills and realizing that money isn't just money. On the positive side, I have some shoots lined up which I'm excited to do! I also want to continue to try and post my own photos every once and a while when I have my early shifts.
Anyway, here is a photo I took today. Believe me when I say I was FROZEN. But, photographers fear nothing when it comes to "getting the shot". Let me know what you think!
Little fact: I used to hate how long my neck was. I gave myself the nickname "giraffe" for years. I have now learned to embrace it and I think it's a rather wonderful thing. Time changes perspectives I guess!
Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday.
Chantel

It’s like counting the number of tiles on the ceiling or the stars in the sky. You do anything you can to pass the time. It’s laying awake at night and wishing you could change the world when you can’t even make a change for yourself. You do everything you can but it’s never enough. It’s the moments in between sleep that pull you apart at the seams. It leaves you comparing your expectations to reality like the way you’d compare a summer breeze to a winter breeze; pleasant and unwanted, warm and cold. You’re doing what you can. Those minutes where I’m alone, just me and my pillow. I think. A lot. I think about everything, anything. It varies from “What am I doing with my life?” to “Did I have homework?” or “Will I ever get into college?” The room is so silent, but my mind is so loud. It drives me crazy because the things I would never think about, I think about. Sometimes, I hate it because it brings up things I rather never think about again. The split second before sleep is the most active second of my life.
This originally looked really different, but after playing around with the layering and the colouring, this is what it turned out to be. I really like the abstract-ness of it, as thats something I don't normally do.
