was recently informed of an interest in my photography.

Tiffany, the owner of Uniquely U, saw my work on myspace and was really impressed. She then found out that I am only a Senior in High School, and she was then, extremely impressed. I called her and she expressed to me the possibility of an internship/apprenticeship for Uniquely U photography. She said she is very picky about her photographers and she has turned down six or seven because she she did not like their work. I feel completely honored and undeserving of this great and quite possibly, life changing experience.


We are going to meet up and talk about some possibilities of an internship/apprenticeship soon.

Ich glaube, Es ist Zeit ich schreibe in meinem Journal. Diese Sommer war gut. Ich habe viel um mich selbst, und Leben gelernt. Ich habe gelernt, dass Freunde verletzen werden. Es verletze mein Herz. Es macht wirklich wirklich gemacht. Ich will gehe zu Schule. Ich bin aufgeregt und glücklich für neue Jahre. Mein zietplan ist schwer, aber es ist belohnung und brachbar. Mein arbiten ist nicht gut. Ich mag meinen neue Chef nicht. Er ist ärgert. Ich vermiss Stephen.

Das ist alle.

I believe, it is time I write in my journal. This summer was good. I have learned much about myself. I have learned that that friends will hurt you. It hurts my heart. It really really does. I want to go to school. I am excited and happy for the new year. My schedule is hard, but it is rewarding and useful. My job is not good. I like not my new boss. He is annoying. I miss Stephen.

Das is all.

Today I received my photography portfolio in the mail.
It was shocking to see.
It was a little upsetting, yes,
but most of all it pissed me off.

I have tried for three years to achieve an honor such as this.
I have to ask myself "Why more do they want?"

On my score sheet it read 20 out of 25 points possible.
I was so close. I'm not sure if you have to make a perfect score, but gosh dang it, that hurt the worse. I almost made it. key word -- almost.

I am still proud of my work regardless, and I will shoot for it again next year. Its just a little dishearting to hear, but I needed to hear it.
I need to have a tough skin if I want to go into this industry.

It was a headline in the Oklahoman today.
Thought it was interesting.

This weekend I had a long talk with one of my friends about what it really is to be human. We talked about art and expression. It is so nice to find someone that relates to you in this world. I value my friends so much. I learn new things everyday, and yesterday I learned a Hands-On Art lesson. Art is inspired by everything. It is the individuals interpretation of what God has created. I think there is great beauty is the sorrow and melancholy expression that is raw emotion. I find myself looking at peoples eyes. I really like testing myself to see into their soul. I find the most attractive eyes are the ones that are full of brokenness and helplessness.


In photography there are two types of beauty. Emotion beauty, and physical beauty. I feel that both are difficult, but both contrasting of each other. physical beauty is a perfect chiseled sculpture on the outside, where as emotional beauty comes from within. Fashion photography allows for me to combine both of these aspects. I find I am moved by art that has a combination of both.


I believe in my self as a photographer. I have huge dreams of becoming a fashion photographer. I feel I do have what it takes. I do become discouraged at times, but I have no where to go but up. I am so ambitious to learn and grow. I am proud of my work regardless of what people may say, but I also feed off their opinions as an artist. I have this yearning in my soul, and this unexplainable passion for my craft. I want to succeed, and I will.

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things. "

-- Pablo Picasso

"I would have ended my life. It was only my art that held me back"
-- Ludwig Von Beethoven

We were talking about Beethoven in German yesterday. Mrs. Klug mentioned this quote and it really struck my heart. Its so beautiful it makes me want to weep. Beethoven was such a good musician, and an intellectual ahead of his time. I think to be a good artist you need to be emo. Emotion people make the best art. They have a sense of their feelings and understandings. I also believe that the most powerful and moving pieces has been made with true emotion.
Art is ture Beauty.


As of today I am now 17 years old. As of today, I also have 6K page views! I'm excited for the future of this year and to what life will bring me.
