Try Nothing, Gain Nothing

What would you attempt to do if you knew

you would fail? What would you lose

if you never attempted? In every attempt

there’s always a lesson.

Because I always want to learn and because there’s still just so many things I don’t know. I’ve decided that all my personal work and daily photos will be film. I heart film.

The creaminess, the soft colors are just what make my heart sing. Film makes me stop and really think about what I’m doing. For the simple reason that I can’t cheat

and look at the back of the camera. I have to trust myself.

Peace needs your untarnished tolerance.

‘If growing up means you must put to death impulsiveness to bear instead these strangled skins of sensibility, then pray, let us be creatures of youth till eternity! None that is nourishment for the soul is without insanity. Unadulterated, infinite love is not sensible, risks are not sure nor steadfast, forgiveness grits against instinct, freedom begs of you to abandon approval and inhibitions, peace needs your untarnished tolerance.’

My beloved husband took this in the last few hours we had on the beach. All I wanted was to enjoy the moment and float, just soak up the heated rays of sun before we left this place of peace that was so far away from the mundane.

I’m just drawn to the moodiness of this image.

The beautiful words are from here.

I love looking back at travel photos. They instantly send you back to wherever it was you were. The smell of the air, the feel of the sand, and the sun on your face. and my favorite

Sun, Sand and Polaroid

Anxious anticipation took over as we landed under the cover of dark ski in Turks and Caicos last week. It’d be eight tortuous hours later before we’d actually be able to see the breath taking turquoise water with our own eyes. A vacation free of family and daily obligations was a head of us and all I could think about was the fact we didn’t have internet. How was I going to get through the week? Torture I know, a gorgeous beach and 80 degree weather…rough. Surprising to myself, I did make it through the week and it felt quite liberating to say good-bye world…you have no way to get a hold of me! HA! As much as it hurt to leave my ‘big’ camera home, it was the best decision I made, aside from taking the trip. I shot all film, mostly holga, slide, polaroid and a little 35mm. It was so exciting to not know what exactly I was getting. And now going through the photos just brings that much more joy and happiness to them. I’ll be sharing more as I get the film back.

Farewell to fall

‘How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.’

-Elsie N. Brady

Denver has officially had it’s first snow and I feel it’s time to say good-bye to my favorite season. I love fall. The smell of leaves, cool nights and warm days and the gorgeous colors the sun brings to life. ahhh. But everything must come to an end. A snugly blanket with a cup of hot tea is calling my name.
