So I've concluded that I'm a terrible blogger and decided to dissolve shinyglittery for the moment. My next project that I'm most excited about is Whool, a custom knit and fashion concept I'm developing at this time. My first order was sent to New York this past weekend and hope it bodes well with the cold and drab weather on the other coast.

Here's a little preview of the knits you can expect.

While I was living in Paris, my friends and I would frequently window shop. A good friend of mine mentioned that I always gravitate towards sparkly, glittery, shiny items. In general, I wouldn't consider myself a flashy dresser. A college budget forces a more versatile closet. Anyways, in an ideal world, with an ideal expense account, I'd be covered in diamonds, glitter, sequins, rhinestones and anything else blinding. I present to you shinyglittery.blogspot.com!

I am grateful to have a father who loves photography.
I remember taking this photo after a rainy day.

Taking photos for my school's newspaper is draining me of inspiration.
I am very sensitive to photo-taking.
But for the time being, I enjoy rummaging through my old photos. I don't know if it's a dancer thing, but my neighbor/friend doesn't always wear shoes when we're outside.

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

I wear my sister's shoes, now considered "vintage."

so close, so soon

I have been dozing off in my French and Calculus classes everyday for the past two weeks. Perhaps, I cannot sleep at night knowing that finally I will be graduating in less than three weeks.

I live in a quiet culdesac.

I realize that I enjoy taking photos of people- friends, classmates, babies, strangers- more than anything else. Nature, although beautiful, is better in person and tiresome to see on print. How many photos of Yosemite or blooming tulips have you seen? Too many.
Honestly, it takes a lot of creativity for subjects such as mountains or famous buildings to interest me, because any person with a camera at the right angle can basically take the same shot as you. On the other hand, with people, every photo captured is a unique moment. Men and women are always changing their appearance, children never stop growing, and your friends might not always be there.

I am enjoying using a manual 35mm film SLR and processing my photos all at home. It is very time consuming, but all the labor is worth enduring for something you love.

It's been a while since I've taken photos.

These are a few of many I took using a sort of DIY cardboard lens hood filter with a heart cut-out, taken at the widest aperture value on my lens (F1.4), and plenty of love, of course.

My poor feet.

I should start wearing comfortable tennis shoes.
They're in horrible shape from dancing in heels, breaking in to new shoes, brutal Prada loafers, ice skating, and everyday clumsiness.

On another note, I'm pretty much done with my college applications.
It feels good.
Now I really hope I get in to my choice college. :(
