recently i read another AnD artist's blog. i left him a comment and he wrote back.
it got me thinking about our personal capacity in life and how much we limit ourselves.
as an artist/performer, we often come across people who view us as something more than your "average" joe next door because of the spotlight we chose to be under. but the reality is, i am no different than the person next to me. it is all a matter of perspective.
in my eyes, there is no being in a "higher" or "lower" place in this world.
i'm not talking about our individual talents and strengths, i'm talking about our life reaching potential. of course we are all unique in our own ways. but i believe that we all have the capacity to reach as high as the next person.
it is all up to you how far you want to go.
you have the ability. you have the capacity. believe it. live it.

What's uuuup!! Karin Anna!! OMG!! babe what have you been doing?! I haven't seen you in years!! and this is where I find you at!! Wow!! hehe! :) I just got back from Hawaii 4 days ago, I was shooting a Music Video there.. But! hit me back!! and lets get together soon. As, you can see.. I'm very excited that I find you again :) What do you expect! I haven't seen or heard from you in ages..... :P
Karin, great to finally meet you, too! You're the best! Despite wearing a wedding dress in the hot summer heat (with no A/C) and poking yourself with your stiletto heels (hope it's healed), you still shined and delivered. We'll all celebrate the next time I'm in LA, perhaps on a nice rooftop.
everyone is in a good position to give advice to others because everyone has different life experiences...it's really great to hear from others and what they think about your situation just because they're not in it. thanks for all the great advice ~ you're really right...i'm still looking...i guess i'll know it feels right when I find it~
and if you do decide to write a blog on this...sounds like a great blog to me! =]
yeah, my friends now don't even bother saying anything now when I randomly stop to take photos. they'll just keep walking and wait for me up ahead. :) but yes, there's motivation to learn to work the camera faster, don't want to keep my friends waiting TOO long. haha
Haha, nothing wrong with being nerdy! 0-0
Thx for the tips. I'll keep my eyes out for the cam. I'll probably wait til my old one complete dies, although the casing is already starting to fall off. ha!
Thanks so much for describing your process on that photo. I actually scrutinized it for awhile trying to figure out how you achieved the look. I'm a total photo geek so I love finding out this kind of stuff and the whole process of photography just fascinates me.
I know what you mean about film. It's a different challenge and there are certain qualities that can never really be fully replicated by digital. That said, I do love the instant gratification and editing capabilities of digital. I just got a dslr and also dug up my old film slr. I'm excited to do some fun stuff with both.
So do you ever combine your photography with your paintings?
