Photo's just from walking LES late one night. Just trying to get back in the habit of taking photo's with out pressure of the end result of them, and then posting them. The actual point of this blog, and part of my grade...

(the photo's and text don't really relate but this was just the steam of thought from this big occasion in my life.) Engagement. Marriage. Some girls grow up knowing that one day they'll find a nice guy and get married and start a family. They know this without a doubt because it's ingrained in them, because its all they see. Some girls grow up thinking that men don't stick around and that women have to do everything for themselves. This is the category I fell in. I was raised in a single parent household by my mom.

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!
