caught in time

I love art, photography, the ocean, diverse music, cooking, singing, dancing around my room, writing, poetry, thinking about life, black and white photos, my friends and family, sketching, biology, learning about different cultures/languages/ancient civilizations, playing the keyboard/guitar(which i suck at), surfing, climbing trees and rocks, bicycling, swimming for fun, traveling, looking at clouds in the sky, being in love, laughing until my stomache hurts.....

everytime I have a camera in my hand I get this overwhelming feeling that I am capable of creating anything into what I imagine it to be just by pointing my lens.  I love taking photos of the most random, mundayne objects or scenes---the ones that no one care to notice or look at---and capture the beauty and purity they behold.  There is something beautiful in everything, and to be able to make this unseen beauty emerge is really magical.

"we are what we think. 
All that we are arises with our thoughts. 
With our thoughts we make the world. 
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
 
We are what we think.
All that arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable."
 
-From The Dhammapada  The Sayings of Buddha
