“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”

– Mary Lou Cook

And, I’ve done all those things.

Seeking approval for your personal vision will only push you farther away from yourself. Be confident in your art & in yourself. No approval necessary.

A series of self portraits that I shot today.

…your mouth is poison your mouth is wine
you think your dreams are the same as mine

I don’t love you but I always will
I don’t love you but I always will
I don’t love you but I always will
I always will

I wish you’d hold me when I turn my back
well the less I give the more I get back
your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don’t have a choice, but I’d still choose you

I don’t love you but I always will…

I am really excited to share these photos. I was sitting at work, itching to get home and BLOG!

About a week ago, Sara, who is a friend from college, contacted me to see if I was interested in photographing her band’s first show at The Grape Room in Manayunk. And, of course I said yes! I brought some friends along and we had a great time! This was actually my first time, officially photographing a show. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY! A big thanks to Sara for giving me this opportunity, thanks for having me.

Constellation folks!

Sara — Lead vocalist

Blake — Guitar

Greg — Bass

Mike — Drums
