Copy cat?

This reminds me a lot of the picture Chandler took of the traffic light. And the one somebody took of the shadow of a ladder. It's cool because I would never have taken this picture a year ago; I would've thought it would be too boring. But now that I've seen more images I've started taking pictures that I wouldn't have before. And even though I don't love this one, I think I'm growing.

Ladder

This is similar to the door from yesterday with its single geometric subject and simplicity. But I wish this was straighter.

Door

I feel like this is a picture kind of like what Sierra would take. All the lines are very straight and it's simple. I wish the thing in the top right corner wasn't there. But I think this is a cool door, and I like the thing to the left of it. The pole thing just sitting there.

Step Up

I really like this bridge. It's old and it's not perfectly flat when you walk on it, but it's just great. I have no idea who put this water there and how long it's been there, but it shows that even thought the bridge is old, it's still used. There's a step on this side, but on the other side of the bridge there's just a rail and you have to either climb over or under it to get onto and off the bridge. And that's how I dropped my cell phone. It was not a great moment.

Close

I really like the composition of this. I didn't take a long time setting this up or deciding about the composition, so it's interesting that I like it so much. I like the chain, too.

Faceless Portrait

This is a picture of my feet while I'm standing on a bridge on top of part of a dam. The water is only a few inches deep. But, this is where I dropped my phone. It was a great experience. But my friend Jeannie jumped from the bridge into the dam to pick it up. And it still works! So this is an image full of memories.

Back to Business

The blog is now back up and running in anticipation of all that will come this summer. Unfortunately, I feel a little like this picture right now. Not in a very pretty place, but there is light at the end and I'm pretty close to being done with junior year. I'll repeat that. I'm almost done with junior year. I can't explain how much I looked up to juniors when I was younger, thinking they were the coolest thing, that they knew everything, and all their conversations were about very important things. Turns out I was wrong. Juniors aren't cool, they're stressed. Everyday they just learn many more things that they need to know and don't understand at all. And conversations are places to complain about all the crap going on in their life. Now, don't get me wrong. Junior year has been awesome and I wouldn't do much different if I did it over again. But I'm definitely ready for summer. However, I'm terrified to be a senior. The oldest on campus. The ones that should know what they're going to do and where they'll be going. I haven't the slightest idea what I'd like to do and where I'd like to be in a few years. In exactly one week I'll be 17. There's nothing very exciting about being 17, except being able to get into R-rated movies at theaters. That'll be nice. Anyway, after the next few days, I'll finally be able to relax and enjoy the summer.
