i miss my best friend.

hey I'm at SCAD now

so, thought id finally do a post about my life at the current moment. I've finally made my journey down to Savannah, Georgia where i will be studying for the next 4 years. I am absolutely in love with Savannah. its the perfect place filled with the most perfect people. everyone here is so accepting and interesting. there has already been a myriad of times that random people will come up to me and just talk, about what I'm studying, etc. I've met the most interesting people. every single person has a different story that you get a glimpse of when you meet them. the students here are so diverse and unspeakably talented it will always amaze me. the other day a boy came up to me as i was waiting for my friend to pick me up, he was from Africa, studies architecture, is a senior here at SCAD, and somehow we ending up having a conversation in French. meeting people like this is what i love. i cannot express how interesting everyone is. something incredibly odd is that i have met so many people from Michigan. maybe 7? i thought id be the only one... but anyways, i love SCAD. its so different than anything i have experienced. i am already so inspired for shoots and theres so many new things to see and do. theres always something to do in Sav. today, for instance, i went to Tybee Island, the beach, with Morgan, a freshman, and Savannah, a transfer. we spent a couple of hours there and Morgan had me model for her Photo homework. i can't wait to go back and shoot. then the other day me Ky and Jay went to explore down by the river and sat in a square for an hour and talked. then the other day Ky and I went under the Turner bridge and shot some pics. I'm definitely getting a feel for Sav so I'm not completely lost anymore. one thing i hate though is the bus system. the busses can go die actually. thank god i have a plethora of friends with cars that can come save me. and then nights in Savannah...thats a whole different story. I swear it transforms. everyone is on the streets and just having a great time. Me and some friends went to this venue where we knew the guys who books the bands there, and we had a pretty fucking good time. seeing the Savannah night life was fun these past couple of nights. I couldn't be happier that i chose SCAD.
but also,
It kind of amazes me how accepting everyone is. well, after all it is art school. its weird meeting people who are so accepting about style and shoots. i love art school. but these art kids, they're bad news *insert smirking emoji*

first Sav shoot

1st shoot in sav with Ky. just went under a bridge near our dorm and i was aiming to practice shots from weird perspectives. i think i will practice and exaggerate this in more shoots soon.

4pm

around 4pm yesterday I spotted this pretty light stream in our dorm. obviously we both jumped to grab our cameras and had an impromptu shoot. this is Kiele my gorgeous roomate. she's studying photography too and is incredibly talented. she's super chill and isn't afraid to strip down for some shots like this. pretty nice we'll be having this same lighting everyday. 

his cotton

and some in color I liked:

been wanting to do a shoot like this for a long while. I see myself doing more like this coming up. 

couple of the shots are super noisy bc I didn't use my tri pod and my basement lighting is like a cave and so awful. still wanted to do the shoot though and didn't turn out awful. thx linds

tumblr findings

this applies to my life more times than I wish. 

nighttime thought: emotions

i had a whole long annoying post about emotions and how uncontrollable they were and how i used to think i could control mine and how my emotions have lead me into a completely different life. but. it got annoying and too personal and I'm definitely not one to like to talk about myself a whole lot, let alone talk about my feelings. so. just thought that maybe if i could write a few sentences i could get my point across. or a list in this case i guess.
- don't try to settle your emotions, they'll screw you and change you completely
- they'll go one way, then completely turn around and really mess with your head
- people don't mess with your head, your feelings do
- feelings can really suck sometimes
- really all the time
- except when you're happy and/or content
- which i am right now
- i think
- or maybe my emotions are just messing with me again(probably)
thats that, I'm done talking about my feelings, that was already too much. Moral of the story, don't even try to even THINK that you can mess with those feelings, cause ya definitely can't. they'll come out of nowhere and stick around for awhile. not like thats a bad thing, sometimes the unexpected things are the best things.

ps, i actually am very happy with my life right now and just where these crazy feelings have brought me(so yeah, this is about you, kid.)
