Time for a switch.

Hello all followers,
I know I basically never post on here so now I am gonna make it a bit better for you. My new blog is going to be a more of a life live journal style one. I will still be posting my photography work from time to time but I will be writing a lot as well.

Would love for you to join it the URL is:

This picture I took about 2 years ago always represented movement to me so may this be the coming of new times.

See ya on the other side.

Home.

Where does this place we call home really reside? 

Is it in the physical? 

Is it in the emotional? 

Is it in the spiritual? 

I feel as though the last several years of my life I have been looking for my home.

I hate to pull the "I am so different than everyone else" card but in all honesty I feel like I have always viewed people differently than most.

What I am trying to get at is that through my views of people and how they treat one another I have become sick. It kills me to actually see how we interact with eachother in certain situations. Not just guys. Not just girls. PEOPLE. I should be held accountable as well. The only place I have ever found peace is with the presence of God. 

I fell away. I fell far away, and it kills me to actually see how I went down a path. It was a path i never even saw that I was going but through the slow and steady weight of it I somehow ended up there.

It took a lot to wake me up.

Way too much.

I am ready to continue my life now. I don't want any of that to be a part of my life anymore and I am ready to love my life for what it is. I have such an amazing group of friends and the best support system ever. 

I just want to be able to wake up everyday and know that I am choosing the right. 

Know that this is the way.

Luke 6:37

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven."

Home.

It can mean so many different things. For me it means for comfort. It means understanding with a steady mind on your shoulders, not just because it's the right thing to do.

I hope this reaches out to someone else; and even if it doesn't effect anyone, that the words just graze through a mind or two when the time comes, because we all have that time.

Only hopes.

much love to all,

sham.

Ok well i am sorry to all my die hard viewers that i have not posted in quite some time. i know that all 4 of you have been anxiously awaiting my return.

well here i am back in the attack.

Corey Schneider bringin' the drama on this switch bs5'er

i shot this one on a shoot for the sentinel. i not really sure why it is on here but i thought it was a cool one so whatevs.

and blake doing a lil' pose at the 9090 torrey lane blacklight party.

schweitzer.

So i finally am back on a "schedule."

I actually am waking up at around 7 every morning as opposed to the regular rising at noon or later that i had going for a while there.

I got to ride twice this week and got to skate at the barn also.

I had been anticipating a bluebird day at schweitzer for a while now and luckily had the cam alongside.

here's some of the goods...

this was a pretty cool thing i stumbled upon while "checkin' my sites" one night.

it is an application for MAC called the Polodroid.

it turns your pics into a poloroid. its a pretty simple program and what attracted me to it was the fact that you never quite know how the finished process is going to turn out.

and it self crops the photos so it gave a very new image to a lot of my work.

enjoy.

the start.

photo.

it kinda something different than all the rest of them in my personal opinion.

yes it is true anyone can pick up a camera and snap a pretty good shot of a flower these days. (heads up here comes my rant)

i am sick of seeing:

-senior photos

-pictures from shows.

-over-edited shots

-mindless pictures of nothingness.

-photos with no story.

-photo's of people that don't directly speak an emotion.

-and people who post 9,000,000 photos of one shoot. yes we all know it's nice to see different angles but i am pretty sure nobody wants to see a million pictures lead singer.

this is AN ATTEMPT

i repeat....... AN ATTEMPT to try to show the world through my interpretation.

mearly a smattering of my mind put into a form that exists beyond the limits of my head.

i love photography.

and i hope you enjoy mine.

i give you.....

WHEN FINALLY SET FREE.

Woah.

well well.

it looks like another blog is out now.

yes. 

that would be mine.

stay tuned for the first post.
