So my aunt, who is a professional photographer, was in town yesterday and brought some KILLER photos with her. I had seen them in her Etsy shop and fell IN LOVE with two of them. I was fully prepared to buy one (she’d already offered me one just for being her niece) but because she loves me so, and is the best aunt ever, she brought me both of them. I didn’t think I could love them more, but I do. Aren’t they fabulous?? They have this vintage look to them that I absolutely adore.
Loving her photography like I (and many people all over the world) do, I thought it was time to share it with all of you. Below you will see a few of my personal favorites. Please feel free to check out her Etsy shop and maybe you’ll fall in love with one too.
I haven’t been at the computer lately, as I’ve been out living my life and trying not to get arrested for it. (Ha!)
Been doing the usual, hanging out with friends (which naturally involves beer), taking care of my dogs and, of course… working. They’re changing our uniforms, by the way, to bullet-proof thick, long sleeve, black shirts. I expect that when Summer is back and it’s 110 degrees outside, I’ll be passing out like a teenager at a Beatles concert. I’m hot-blooded enough without wrapping me in polyester and baking me like a chicken. The air conditioner can’t keep up with all the running around I do. So hopefully I won’t die of heat stroke or something while I’m trying to remember some lady’s peanut allergy.
Onto the cool part I hinted at with my snappy post title…
I’ve always loved art. I love to sketch/draw and once upon a time I actually wanted to be a commercial artist. I later decided that I didn’t want something I loved to ever be something that stressed me out, or that I didn’t genuinely love doing anymore. So I kept it as a hobby and something that I do to relax. I’m blah blahing again…
I was over at YouTube today (are you shocked? of course you’re not) and was watching videos of drawings being created, using different mediums. It was there that I ran across something that I couldn’t take my eyes off of… It’s a fast-motion drawing of Evangeline Lilly (from Lost) and it so captured my attention that I felt horribly compelled to share it here. So… Here.
I’m off now to get ready to see my girl Jenn at work and have a beer. Or two. Ok three.
