When I first started this blog I wanted to show my readers my side of the world. I
loved seeing so many different locations through my favorite blogs. I made a point
to photograph the cities around me: Los Angeles, Hollywood, Pasadena, basically
all major attractions. I had a lot of fun doing so, going down my list of places to go.
These past few days though, I no longer feel the need to photograph these types of
places. In the sense that I was photographing tourist spots, my photographs often
weren't very personal. There wasn't much of myself in them.

I love the photos. Do you want to be a photographer for a career?
I like tattoos, but I probably wouldn't get one.
Amber: Thank you :) To answer your question, I would love to major in photography but I'm still undecided.
+ thanks for the input on tattoos!
LOVE miranda july
It's brilliant, the idea about the more personal photos. They resemble scenes from a diary.
Ainsley: Her work is pretty amazing.
Olga: Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for.... (a photo diary.)
:)
Yay for pups who like photos! My pup doesn't like it but she will obey.
I really want to see that movie!
Tattoos...I don't have one, but I would definitely get one if needles didn't terrify me! I don't see anything wrong with them and wish the world would be less quick to judge such things.
I love these pictures! Looking forward to more :) I like tattoos, but I can't think of anything that's personal enough to have on my skin forever!
i absolutely love and agree with what you said here. funny how i feel the exact same way about photography! <3 with that said, i find these photographs amazing. i can never tire of seeing the Griffith Observatory, it's such a beautiful building! (: +get well very soon, lovely. xxx
These are stunning! I love personal photos. I like tattoos and i'm planning a few, i'd love to know how much it's going to hurt before jumping into the deep end. x hivenn

Jane: Thank you<3 + Yes, that seems to be my problem at the moment >.<

Jazzy E: Glad you liked them! + that's another issue I'm worried about lol...
fhenny: Thanks! :)
aaah i love your dog
Something to lose, or something close to, is always very difficult. But it is also an opportunity to start over. I really like your tourist photos of your home, because I see with the eyes of a tourist. But I also like much your photos of you personally. Photos that show what you like, how you live and what you experience. This is very nice.
And I like your dogs are so cute.
that was a nice read. i look forward to more personal posts! and yes, we should definitely shoot together. let me know when you'll be heading towards this side of town x
i loved crazy stupid love!
Hi Brenda!
Your pictures are amazing, as usual, and I think that it's great that you are trying to make your blog more personal; it is more fun to read that way! On tattoos- if you think that it's going to be really meaningful, get it. But also think about the pain you'll have to endure and the fact that it's going to be there for the rest of your life...
Stop by again for more great photos and delicious recipes!

love these instax pictures!
Hmm an encouragement or your favorite words would be nice. or just simply your name, would be great too :D
oh man. her tattoo is amazing- reallly makes me want to get a 2nd. not too many people know about my first one.. it's on my hip- a bird. when i was little my cousins who are my age had to move away from ny to chicago. we were sooo sad. my younger cousin said "i wish i was a bird so i could come visit whenever i wanted." and i remembered that statement 12 years later and decided to go with a soaring bird as my tattoo :)
i always enjoy your photos and love the direction you're taking them! have fun!
