Everything is better with a friend.

I went on a photo walk with my friend this day.

She's a professional photographer and was having a hard time finding inspiration in her personal photography work. She and I both shared that when we started we mainly just went outside and took pictures. I took pictures of things and she took pictures of people. I have been having a hard time recently finding the desire to pick up my camera. But I found the farmers market and being around a friend very inspiring.  I found I wasn't looking for the picture or the story, I was just looking for what caught my eye. And this day it was a tie between street art and the colors of the produce at the farmers market.

Imperfections. Insecurities. Recently I've had to face some of my insecurities when it comes to my relationships. Doing so made me remember a time when I hated my body. Growing up I was always naturally thin. Growing up in a black family I was quickly told this was not a good thing. I soon desired to have a curvier body like the "more" beautiful women in my family.

So why all of a sudden did I believe I was so ugly? Because I was told that my body should be different and then I would be beautiful. Thankfully because of my analytical brain this made no sense to me and I went back to loving my body and only saying wo...

Oh hello old friends, its me Netchem. I'm back again to see if we are still as compatible as when I was 17. I am 31 now. My need for you is different now then what it was back then. I find it interesting that I am here again picking up a camera when I said I would never do so again. Will you help me achieve my goals, will we be friends again, or have I come back too late? We'll see.

Taking photo’s of loved ones. I used to be so good at taking pictures of people I knew. I usually liked those photo’s better then ones of strangers or of people I didn’t know very well. Until I meet my fiancé. He has such a great face (in my biased opinion) but every time I turn my camera on him I just get this weird face from him. Its his camera face, like how some girls do that duck face thing or how I like to show all my teeth…It's super sleepy looking and mostly all chin. But I think I’m getting the hang of capturing him. The trick is to catch him when he’s feeling good in his clothes and when he doesn’t think I’m taking his photograph!
