Questions from Erica for me:
1. What is your goal for your blog?
I really love to share my thoughts and photographs that go along with the weird and fun things that happen in my daily life. It's like a personal journal, so I think my goal is just to get a lot of people to read it and to enjoy it as much as I do. Generally my goal is to make other people happy :)
2. If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?
This might sound a bit confusing, but I think that it doesn't really matter where I would be living, just as long as it were a town house with cafés and shops in short walking/biking distance. Only because I am a really social person and I have always lived in really spread out neighborhoods and I would love to have everyone in the town to know your name, and have that one little café that you walk to every morning and the people working there know your name and what you are going to order, and you can converse with the other customers there who do the same thing you do. Anywhere really neighborly.
3. Imagine you've won the lottery. What're you going to do with the money?
I would redecorate my house. I really want to live in a town house where everything inside is retro and colorful. That's just me :)
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I'd be 25 so I'd say... in a studio, anywhere in front, behind or around the camera. Whatever that may be.
5. What is your favorite post on your blog?
My current favorite is the one right before this one, of my photoshoot with A Girl Named Leney. But as far as blog postS go, I think my blog is most entertaining when I travel.
6. What is your favorite memory?
Wow, that's hard. I think all of the times in my old house when my brother and I would play "Lost" in the pouring rain with our next door neighbors, we would try to build fires and catch fish in our lake, we were really dramatic about it too. It was so much fun.
7. Favorite item of clothing?
Anything fancy. My favorite thing to do, no matter when or where is to dress up all fancy like. So I'd say any one of my party dresses/ball gowns :) teehee
8. What's on top of your bucket list?
Dye my entire head pink. I have been wanting to do that for the longest time, but it just hasn't happened yet.
9. What is your favorite quote?
"Have happy thoughts so they shine through your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely"
10. What kind of music do you listen to?
This is going to sound weird, but I like girly music, ya know? Like Lenka, Ingrid Michaelson, Meiko, Regina Spektor and other artists like that. Also Florence + The Machine.
11. How do you like to spend your free time?
blogging.
Umm.... but actually I love taking photographs, whether they be of me or of other people and things, I love taking photos, editing them and then writing about what they mean to me or what was going on and I was thinking about.
11 Random Facts About Me:
