yesterday

Yesterday I went shopping at the mall with my 2 friends. It was soo fun! We went shopping for 5 hours and went to all the "affordable" fun stores like H & M, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, etc. I also bought a leather notebook to begin my new years of writing. I started a story with a girl who is afflicted by horribly acute hearing. 





random photos i took out of absolute boredom. they seem cliché to me, but not for a particular reason. whatever, i needed something to edit.

The Big Chill

I found the string that hung from a bulb in my attic,
Swinging sideways with no air to push it
Someone had left it on long, long ago
But the curled up filament inside had gone on burning,
Pulsing with the milky coldness of a dying nebula
I pull, and with a click
There is darkness everywhere.

My pupils close up, as if some scared onlookers inside 
Had pulled their shutters fast together
And cowered in the shadows beneath their bed
I was blind
But I could feel the heat of every star go out
click
like that, just one, a slight sounds of scraping metal

glaciers form as fast as it takes me to think
the ice crawls up my walls, octopus tendrils
it fastens like a glue I've never seen before,
and the blood in my veins halts
my heart shrieks to a stop in mid-pump
glistening in blue stone that even a diamond couldn't cut

the dog was standing outside when it happened
and he saw, in half a moment,
the restless kilns in the chest of the sun slow down--
the stars snipped out in a second
but the sun was like halogen lamps on my sister's desk
it exhaled, the lush crimson of its life
leaving nothing but an empty walnut
like when all the flavoring is gone form a snow cone

And then the sun becomes darker than the universe,
Darker than the absence of light
The lava that had once danced mellifluously through its sizzling pores
hardened into midnight canyons

Prometheus, who had hid the sun in his rucksack and carried it off to the
Milky Way,
He weeped, and sought a place of a little more light
Deep in the caverns of Pluto

We were all lumps of anti-life, 
Of something colder than 
deep freeze and permafrost

As I stood, suspended in my sightless, icy orb
I felt the universe disappear,
With only the legacy of a black hole. 

new poem


pic of desiree. she's an an extremely good model with nuanced expressions. basically we were goofing around on the black backdrop and then i got this idea.  i'll post some photoshoot bloopers and stuff later. kind of weird, but throughout the whole shoot i took mainly verticle shots, which later i found was not nearly as powerful. 

first post

i'm 15. a photographer and a writer. i want to change the world. hoping to put random cool stuff on here.
