I love photography, because it forces me to be more appreciative of my surroundings. I walk through life with my eyes wide open. When I’m out on the streets taking pictures, I throw on a wider lens, muster up all the courage I can, strategize as quickly as possible, get over my own inhibitions, and walk up to a person and snap their picture. Then I keep walking without looking back. It’s a very challenging and therapeutic process. I love it. I feel that by using my camera as often as I do, I am growing a third...Read more
I have a new theme in my life: Honesty. Honesty to people who love me…but most importantly honesty to myself. So in honor of my new theme, I yelped a few tattoo places and started driving towards the one with the most stars.
It’s a bitch to try and find parking in Hollywood. After circling the block, I finally found a meter. My windows were rolled down, because my dog Alex just loves to check out the streets while driving.
“Yeah, you can park here,” I heard a voice say. I looked through the window, and saw an African-American woman, p...Read more

I remember when I was little, I had barely learned how to read and write, but I was a firm believe of Santa Claus. So, like I had been taught in school and through my beloved movies, I made a list of all the things I wanted. I took a pen and paper and sat down to write my list by order or priority. In those days they taught us to write with pens that had ink cartridges inside of them. So I wrote my list (I probably misspelled most of my words), tore the piece of paper out my notebook and taped it against the window for Santa to see. Every n...Read more
Back in college I was an anthropology major. If you haven’t noticed yet, I always like to throw a few of my anthro observations into my blog entries. This one’s about looks, my friends. Good looks. Handsomeness, hotness, prettiness…BEAUTY.
It’s no secret that most of us are influenced by images we see. We may claim that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, but undoubtedly our c...Read more
Got back into town Sunday eve. Had two seats on the flight home. That was great! It would have been even greater if the movies had actually played on everyone’s TV. It was down for 70% of the time. At least I could stretch out and take a good nap. Ha! Take that, Swiss Airline!
Finally finished looking through all my pictures from my trip. Today, I would like to conclude my observations on Kosovo by posting a few more. I promise after today, you’ll have lovely boudoir photographs waiting for you. ☺
SKENA UP, the festival for w...Read more
