People in our lives come and go wether we want them to or not. Think of all the people that you’ve met and accumulated up to this point. How many can you say were true friends? How many of them do you still speak to? How about the people that we see everyday; at work ,on the bus or in our neighborhoods. Do you ever stop to say hello or share a smile? Do you ever call an old friend to catch up? Or have we been so busy that we just don’t have time to anymore? Lately I found myself looking back on all the people that I have had the privilege to share my life with ,some I have lost touch with and some I can’t live without. Its funny how someones presence can impact ones life which has got me reflecting and I can honestly say that I am truly lucky to have and have had such amazing people around me. For that I am thankful. I am also thankful for the people that have done me wrong because you have thought me valuable lessons that I could only learn from the conflicts that we have had. Life is short and consider the people around us as gifts cause for every person comes a new lesson and the best part is that we learn without even noticing its only when we truly pay attention, that we see and learn to appreciate.

Alien Spy

Don’t you think that insects are so alien like. If you think back to all the movies and descriptions of aliens you will noticed that insects have the exact same attributes. So I have developed this theory that insects are alien spies. They hang around our backyards, enter our homes they get into things like our food and on top of that they bite which probably means taking samples. That being said for the past few weeks I have been holding an alien spy captive in a plastic cup and yesterday I let it out with the thought that it will bring back the message that people aren’t so bad. The alien spy poses as something we call a snail. They may seem like harmless littles things but what if….. You be the judge…

Had and opportunity to pop in and help out my friend Regen with one of his photoshoots. I also thought that it would be a great time to try out the video camera in my D3s and do a little video editing.

This is my playground! So much more to discover lately I have noticed that I have been taking photographs of landscapes a lot. I guess thats the beauty of photography. You can never run out of things to capture.

Turning a new leaf, so many things has happened the moment I turned 26 and I don’t want it to stop. I guess the goal is to keep going . I have regained confidence, motivation and love for my craft of photography, gained new friends and relationships which feels right in every way, surrounding myself with positive energy thats been keeping me mentally focused for the pass few days and hopefully keep me in line and just leave me there. It feels good to feel good and I don’t want nothing but. People have asked me how it feels to turn 26 and quite simply I answer “it feels right”. It feels like I’m suppose to be where i am right now. Although the future is uncertain I feel good about it, everything that is suppose to happen is gonna happen as long as I don’t quit. I really only have myself to answer to and I don’t plan to be disappointed. I’m just truly grateful. I’m grateful for my family, friends, and friendemies for they help mould me to who I am today.THANK YOU EVERYBODY for making the past 26 years of my life worth living. “The best is yet to be”

14 hours in between strangers

.
So as most of you know I left for the Philippines to get get away from your ugly faces for a couple of weeks…jk..Anyway this is the first flight that I have been on where I wasn’t sitting beside anyone I knew. at first it was ok until I found out that the lady by the window has some kind of urinary track infection..Lady was going every hour. I couldn’t even get a proper airplane sleep. On top of that her husband kept getting up to get nothing in his bag. soooo annoying.. Movie selection was good though. I kept myself occupied by watching, The Blind side, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, Surrogates, 3 episodes of In the NBA and 2 episodes of the bigbang theory. As for my meal the best meal I had was the sushi i ate at the Vancouver airport..worst meal was the chickien with noodles. I hate airplane food. Now I’m in the Honk Kong airport waiting for 4 hours for a 2 hour flight to the mother land. catch ya’ll later.

Me In My Element.
