a brave lifestyle.

“Failure is in a sense the highway to success, as each discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true.”
- John Keats

The image above is a very happy accident — when I got the roll of film, I did not except the lovely color cast that appeared in this image. Shooting with old film is quite fun :)

Things have been very busy lately, and I have been shooting much more film lately, but I haven’t been able to develop anything until recently. I will hopefully be able to post more as time comes along, but for now, here are a few, along with a few things that have been inspiring me lately. :)

+ I want a woolly pocket! (They sell these at Pigment in North Park) :)

+ A little behind on the Easter posts, but I love these darling decorated eggs!

+ Another lovely Easter post, with beautiful polaroids and charming hand drawn menu :)

+ Love this post, especially the clock, TLR’s and last image :)

+ Quite possibly the cutest wedding photobooth ever! (With DIY tutorial link)

+ Loving all these items for jetsetting in style. Especially that suitcase. Want.

+ The cutest chalkboard fridge :)

+ I can watch this video over and over again (gotta love Elijah Wood & Shirley Manson)

+ This statement is fact.

And to leave you for today, a quote from a recent blogpost about journeys by the talented Jason Mraz:

…definitely don’t think you can swim faster than the current: don’t be a “try-hard.”
This is a term I heard used in the open-mic circuit for those who are trying so hard to make it they forget to enjoy it. The stress and the need for perfection is a distraction from the beauty, uncertainty, and finality of every moment. It’s never about the destination anyway. It’s about the brave lifestyle one leads in getting there.

Go, and lead a brave lifestyle. :)

(P.S. Speaking of brave, I still have to finish all my blogs about my roadtrip. Like I touched on before, this next portion is really quite difficult for me to put together because it is so personal to me. But I will try.)

it’s home to me.

It’s where I grew up and so far, until now, I have never been able to call any other place ‘home.’ Except maybe now.

. . .

& that’s a glorious, glorious thing.

happy st patrick’s!
