this is home



















Not all of these pictures are the best, many aren't quite focused.
But this is a post I've been thinking about, and working on for quite a while. I don't even want to get into how long it took blogger to upload them.

Nonetheless, it's a post that has manifested an inspiration, and even been started, a few times before.
And here it is now, as seen through my 35mm lens one of the first nights I had it. I spent that evening taking pictures of just about anything, and everything.
I started developing how to shoot manually, and after everyone else was gone to bed, I was still awake, with my camera; taking pictures of the only thing I had left to take pictures of in the waning hours of that day. My room.
This is bits and pieces of my room, of the things I keep and display, this is little pieces of me and who I have been, who I am, who I am becoming.
This is home.

have a listen // once upon a dream



I know you

I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you

the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam

yet I know it's true

that visions are seldom what they seem

but if I know you

I know what you'll do

you'll love me at once

the way you did once

upon a dream


but if I know you

I know what you'll do

you love me at once

the way you did once

upon a dream

I know you

I walked with you once upon a dream

I know you

the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam

yet I know it's true

that visions are seldom what they seem

but if I know you

I know what you'll do

you'll love me at once

the way you did once

upon a dream


but if I know you

I know what you'll do

you love me at once

the way you did once

upon a dream



I don't know about all of you, but I am so incredibly excited for Maleficent. She's a character that truly scared me witless, and gave me nightmares when I was a youngster. Now that I'm older and have something more akin to an appreciation for her character, I am so delighted and thusly looking forward, to seeing a reboot/spin off that focuses on her rather than Aurora.
This debuted at the Grammy's earlier this week, and really for me, when the trailer hit the web.
So here it is, in all it's haunting, spine tingling, chill, the song I've had on repeat for a couple days now.
