Sarah’s Creative Journey

These are some songs/artists that I have been listening the most to recently, especially while getting my creative juices flowing.  So I thought I would share with you.  And even though I'm only giving you a link to one song, you should check out their other songs too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIQLha4zcQI         ~Alexi Murdoch-All of My Days Ever since I watched Away We Go , I have fallen in love with Alexi Murdoch.  He has a calming tone, but almost peppy and comforting tune/beat.  He is pretty unique.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lALU0EhT2vE         ~Ian Axel-This is the New Year I cannot utterly describe my obsession with this song.  It is so darn peppy that I have unashamedly and repeatedly jumped up and danced and nailed the air guitar/drum instrumental part, or danced and blasted the music while in my car.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IcqRbPk_bk       ...

Things I've learned about being in the "real world" so far/or what I have experienced while still living with my parents:    Since I now schedule my own work time...                I like to get projects done one at a time before moving onto another one,         which then results in me undertaking this huge project, and working on that-which is usually not that important-not getting anything else done all day, and then wearing myself out because I feel like I didn't do anything (since I haven't finished the project).          That being said, I think all projects I have will take 1-3 days tops.  Not even close.         So then I tried to move on to scheduling my days about hour by hour, or 2-3 hours at a time.  This result?  Spending way too much free time on the computer and talking to friends, or not accounting for travel and eating time....

"Story of the Six Dlymashins" That is the title I gave it when I was about 6.  Not sure if you can read them, I tried to make the pictures larger.  If not, I hope you enjoyed the drawings at least. 

  These are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot.  But there are 152 total, so if you like them, feel free to check them out on facebook. Thanks to my friends who dressed up and let me take pictures of them. :)  I will probably try to schedule more shoots like this in the future.  Contact me if you're interested!

As life goes on, my appreciation for so many things increases tenfold. As the saying goes, "You don't realize what you have until it's gone."   Though sometimes you can realize how lucky you are, once it is gone, or situations change, you appreciate and love that time you had even more. This applies to life as it goes on. You can't recognize the great things until you have experienced the bad.  You cannot love and live in the moment until you realize how precious it is.  As my life and the lives of my friends and family continue to grow in different directions, the more I understand.  The more all of us understand what a true community meant to all of us.  But it is not until we have left everyone that we understand this fact.  But our time that was spent together, the bonds we made, and the trust we gave doesn't leave us.   So as we come together again, when we get the special time or moment to share with the ones we love, cherish it.  Li...

Photo shoot pictures A story (with pictures!) that I wrote when I was probably about 6 Fun pictures from this summer and maybe...     some small potatoes :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiHWwKC8WjU  Mika-Elle Me Dit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnJvJvAMoXU&feature=related  Mika-Elle Me Dit, English version with lyrics I remember the first time I heard Mika.  Ironically it was at PATS retreat (also known as Kairos).  And here I am about 6 years later, still in love with his music.  This is a more recent song, and should be released with the rest of his third album here soon.   I absolutely love this song, and the video is part of that reason.  So you should watch it too. And get into Mika if you haven't already.  Most of his music is pretty energetic and is fun to listen to. 

Here are some of the other pictures I took, but did not develop at a larger scale. 

Here are pictures I developed and process myself from black and white film.  All of them are 6.5 x9.5, and are on sale for $80!

For those of you that have not seen my blog yet, I've compiled a list of just the image posts for you! (That is if you don't want to take the time to read a whole lot).  But if you like reading, go on ahead to read whatever you would like!--NOTE: SOME POSTS HAVE VIDEO LINKS IN THE TITLE--They are for your entertainment :) I also compiled this to go backwards in time since that is how they are listed. 2012: May 22            Apr. 24            Apr. 9            Feb. 22            Jan. 18            Jan. 3            Jan. 2 2011: Nov. 29            Jul. 18 (mostly wedding photos)            June 24            June 15            June 13           ...

Sorry I haven't posted in so long.  But I was gone working in Connecticut for the summer, and now I am back!  Here to update more than ever before! (Hopefully).
