That's right! This is the part of the week where I post pictures of things I love. Last week it was turtles, and this week it's going to be fruits. I'm trying to eat healthy for the next...rest of my life, and so this is a motivation.
Mmm. Strawberries. I love sitting down to watch TV or a movie with a pile of sugar and a bowl of cut-up strawberries.
Such a good snack to have, especially during classes.
I like to buy a case of them and then eat them for the times that I want something sweet, like candy.
I just started to like blueberries this summer. I really like it when they're sweet and sour all at once! So yummy :)
Grape tomatoes are so delicious when it's mixed with melted mozzarella and parsley.
Hello! I'm sorry that I have been gone for two weeks especially after just beginning this blog! I had a tour to go on with my school's Wind Ensemble. We went to Chicago, Ann Arbor, Toldeo, Kalamazoo, Apollo - it was fantastic! But I miss posting! So Mondays are now going to Fantastic Finds where during random internet searching and pinteresting, I find this amazing finds that I just HAVE to spread with the world!This week? Gadgets and Gizmoos!
Almost Two weeks late!
I forgot to mention that I have vacation for this last two weeks and it gets over this Sunday so I'll be back posting on Monday! Sorry!
In the mean time, Allow me to leave you with some memories of this semester so far. All taken with my iPod (to explain the lack of quality) :P
ALSO! Check out Cartel! It's my absolute favorite band and they are coming out with new music!
What better way to spend today then to get inspired and then go be creative? For today's projects as well as this weeks projects, I thought I'd share what inspired me to do what I do.
This song is inspirational because it is about reaching your dreams and being at a really high point in your life and then not wanting to go back down, but higher. It helps me realize that it is possible to go higher and higher in your life with the support of others.
There are two photographers that I constantly look up to for inspiration. One of them is Sarah Lane from Sarah Lane Studios in Napa Valley, CA. I look at her family, children, and senior portraits for ideas. I love how she captures life, emotion, drama, and love in one photo. She would be a dream to study under. This is one of my absolute favorite portraits done by her.
The other photographer I follow is Justine Ungaro. She is mostly a wedding and engagement photographer. Her black and white photos are stunning and her color photos capture the moment so well that you thought you were there. There are so many favorites from her. This is in the top five though.
My blog inspiration is Color Me Katie. She is a photographer from NYC and loves to be colorful, creative, and happy. I've followed her for a few weeks now and I am always smiling what the ideas she comes up with.
My favorite model and good friend, Jordan Murray, is a huge inspiration to me. I whatever photo I take of her, she always looks stunning. It's amazing. Sadly, she moved away so I don't have unlimited access to her awesomeness but I do miss her and can't wait until I get to take more pictures of her!
My final inspiration of the day would be my friends and family. That picture did not make it into an art show recently, and I was really sad about it. But my friend Eric (above) made me smile about how Hannah (picture) was his stable, moody girlfriend who didn't have any unexpected emotions or conversations. It made me laugh and I instantly remembered that I love photography for one reason, for people. So making it into the art show was instantly wiped from my mind once I realized that my friends had my back when I didn't make something I wanted to. Thank guys, it means a lot! :)
On campus, Friday's are always known as Fancy Friday. In honor of this lovely day, I would like to dedicate Friday's posts to being fancy. Eventually, I would like to post pictures of people being fancy around campus, but I'm just getting started here! Gotta get the word out and all that jazz before I can just start taking pictures of fancily dressed people! So spread the word for Fancy Friday!
Thursday will be projects that I want to accomplish for the week! I will post stories and pictures of that project on the following week as well as the pictures and stories of what I would like to accomplish for the current week. During all this accomplishing projects, I will also try to promote Creative Katka! This week's project is to spread smiles! Here are the ideas:
I'll make about 10 of them and post them in obvious spots around campus. See if you can find them all!
I'll also place inspirational quotes all around campus. On every table in the library and in Garlock and on every practice room in the Music building. Each page will be a different inspirational quote! My friend is coming in this weekend to visit and spend time with me, so this seems like a fun project to get her to help me with!
Lastly, I'll place coloring sheets all over the place, just like the quotes. These will be images that generally make people smile, like memories from an old movie or tv show or just really cute animals or something to that effect.
What Makes you smile?!
Leave comments on what next week's community Progressive Project should be!
On Wednesday, I'll post what I've been working on throughout the week. Since I am going into the photography industry, I suppose I should start posting photos as well as the ones I'm borrowing from Pinterest. With that said, I will post my scavenger hunt list and allow the search to begin! I will do seven each week and post them on Wednesdays. For this week, I will find:
Love
Connected
Sweet
Adore
Cherish
Lonely
Heartfelt
For now though, I will leave you with a few things that I would like to see for my birthday (which isn't until spring.) :)
Navy Converse to Go with my Teal and Orange ones.
My first lovely Canon EOS Rebel T3!!!
I have been waiting YEARS to own one.
A gaming cart to keep my Xbox 360 and all my movies/games nice a tidy.
As my first time blogging seriously, I thought I would start out with Show-n-Tell Tuesday! This means that on Tuesday's I'll post things that I love. I'll post turtles today.
