I was playing with the camera today after deciding I needed a new facebook profile picture. As I was editing this one I saw another opportunity to add to my 100 snapshots challenge. So here is #16 “Feel”
An invitation
Posted by Luna on December 30th, 2011
I have been invited to join a blogging project. I’m still unsure if I am going to accept the offer or not. The blog is a self-improvement/goal-setting/achieving blog. There will be several contributors to the project, and it is a fantastic idea. However, I am not one to set goals. I’m more of a “go-with-it” kinda gal. I have a few ideas for new year’s “resolutions” but they aren’t really resolutions in the traditional sense. That’s a lie. I just thought of 2 that I really could do.I haven’t even really shared these with many people. A few of my closest friends know what I want in the upcoming year, but that’s about it. This is where my hesitation comes in. I’m not sure that I would have much to contribute to the site. I am most definitely interested in following this site, especially since at least 2 of the contributors are people that I love and care about. I am excited to watch them grow and achieve the things they want.
The new year is 2 days away, I suppose I should make a decision and get back with my friend. Maybe I should seriously consider it. Make a list of things I would like to make sure I do in the upcoming year. The last few years have been rough ones for me and I am looking forward to rediscovering myself and working on who I wish to become, which is the woman I know I can be.
I think I am definitely going to make a list of the things I wish to accomplish in this new year.
Life and things and stuff

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. Sometimes that cosmic clue by 4 is a mean sonuva… I have spent much time in the last year or so criticizing people for being cowardly and last night I had an epiphany. It really is true what they say, “You hate in others what you hate most in yourself.” I realized last night what a coward I was. When I am confronted with something I am unsure of I run. Especially when that thing is a matter of the heart. I have been hurt by so many people I’m extremely protective of my heart. If I fear that it may get broken, I will usually suffer in silence if I have feelings for someone. In this upcoming year I think this is something I’m going to work on. Not being afraid of something. I’m still going to be cautious, but I can’t live my life without taking any risks for fear of getting hurt. What kind of life would that be for me? I’m not really calling this a resolution. Resolutions get broken. I’m making it a goal. Something to aim for; becoming a better, less cowardly me.
A challenge.

Over on facebook I was given a challenge. My friend and fellow aspiring photographer posted about a photo challenge. 100 snapshots. There are 100 prompt words. The challenge is to take one photo that will represent each word. The wonderful thing about this challenge is that, unlike the 365 projects that everyone is so keen on, there is no time limit. It doesn’t have to be a photo a day kind of deal. This is good for me for numerous reasons. I don’t always have my camera with me. I’m really horrible at committing to anything. Even something as silly as a photo project. So while sitting at The Best’s studio I decided to start the project. I had my camera and was in an old warehouse. What better place to start? The photos will not be taken in order, I’m sure, so here is prompt number 4. “Hot”
My Best Friend… My inspiration.
Posted by Luna on December 8th, 2011
Back in August, I met Sean. We had a kind of instant bond, and since I arrived home from KC he and I have spent a total of maybe 6 days apart. We will be spending 5 days apart next week, as he is traveling to Cleveland for training for work and I will be traveling to MI to visit with an old friend. We’re both kinda “ack… what are we gonna do?” but it’s whatever. He is teaching me lots about photography and I am enjoying the time we spend together. He has been a very good friend. He actually has obtained best friend status. He is just fabulous. I don’t know how else to describe him. Our dynamic is fantastic. We are pretty much the same people, except he’s a little more evil than I am. Anyway. We were at his studio last week and playing with some lighting and so I snapped this portrait of him:
I know most wouldn’t find him conventionally hot, but knowing him the way that I do, I find him extremely attractive. I can honestly say, while I do find him attractive, his brain is what I find most sexy.
He’s the first person in a very long time that has earned my trust. And believe me when I say there is an amazing amount of trust. That trust is reciprocated as well. I know more about him than most people do. He is helping me discover a lot about myself. Things I’m not entirely sure about yet, but I’m oddly comfortable with exploring them.
It’s wonderful that I have made such a great friend. He’s the first new friend in a very long time that has earned the right to stick around (and actually has the desire to. 
)
