Late Night Writing is a photo/literary work I published on my main blog. Here's a preview:
He took off like the wind! A whiffle of his tail, the quickness of his limbs, boy oh boy! What a fast dog. He was a water runner, a fetcher, a go getter. Waves couldn't catch a hair off him. He ran with such freedom and the shoreline roared, "shooosh." I heard the waves say, "GO!" This quadruped was gifted, this dog had wings.
I haven't been able to post any pictures from the past 4 days... mostly because I didn't feel like taking photos. It's been a difficult season in my life.
Anyway, in other news, I sent in a submission to Pictory, which is an online photo magazine curated and edited by Laura Brunow Miner. Right now, my submission is listed as an example on the "Platonic Love Stories," the picture features one of my dear friends Jacque, I just briefly talk about how our friendship is. I love the format of Pictory, in fact, I enjoyed it so much that much of my design decisions for this photoblog were based off of Pictory.
Maybe I should tell more stories with each pictures.
Yesterday, I spent some time at the beach to collect some thoughts and process through a few things. It was mild and peaceful; the weather was forgiving of my warmer settled soft body. A time in the word, a time in thought, a time in prayer in reverence to God. A time to create, or essentially try to capture and experience the vast beauty of this scene.
It was good time. I read through 2 Corinthians and was particularly encouraged by 1:4, in knowing that God comforts us in hope that we, in His love, would be able to do the same for our brothers. I am in hope that I don't lose sight of His glory in the things I am going through.
p.s. {I didn't even attempt to take pictures on Friday, there are some moments better left experienced than taken photos of.}
Sorry, no photos from yesterday.
Although, I did think about it. I was out of it yesterday. I didn't feel so good in my heart and I had much time to think about that in the early mornings of today. It was at 1:14am this morning when I woke up and prayed, God bless our broken hearts. I stayed awake in thought and prayer; I slipped in and out of dreams. It was a dark and bright night as I learned much about what I am hoping for, and learning those things, it was difficult for my mind to comprehend. So I prayed.
So I wanted to post something a little more abstract and light hearted today. Something in composition I thought at the time would be beautiful. It's in moments like those when I'm behind the viewfinder of my cameras where I frame the shot and I look intentionally at what's beautiful in life at that time. I guess this is why I love taking portraits.
Last night we spent some time talking around the fire pit. It was a good time.

These photos were taken on January 4th, 2010.
This post is a little late because I wasn't able to get to it soon enough.
Here's a video after the break.
This picture is from January 4th, 2010, a retro-grade post for the 365 days this year. The college group I attended at church and I went to New Orleans to build homes. It was a great trip.
So, yesterday, I forgot to take the SD card out of my computer... so no picture from yesterday.
Although, yesterday I moved the last things out of my old roomie's place in Diamond Bar and took them to my new place. After which, I ran errands. It was a good but difficult day.
