Photo of the Day [POTD]: clouded judgment

I called your bluff. Apparently, you really meant it. Now, I’m reduced to nothing.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: glaring

I saw you standing across the room. A Beatles song popped into my head. After working up the courage to walk over, I realized I was probably too drunk to say anything coherent and the Beatles song turned Dylanesque. Mental note: less alcohol, next time.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: futility

No matter how much we try to fix everything, fate has its way of ruining things and placing it back to how it’s supposed to be: messed up.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: flavors of life

I’d like to chase the light — capture it and bottle it up. Probably save it for when I most desire it. But the drugs just keep getting in the way. And those pesky critters hovering just above my head make this quest a bit difficult.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: brutal

You stare at me in disbelief, like I said something terribly wrong. You asked for the truth, so that’s exactly what I gave you. If you wanted me to sugarcoat it, then that wouldn’t really be sincere.

My friend is getting married soon so we went over to a few locations for a the video shoot. Of course, I couldn’t resist taking a few photos. But since the output is supposed to be a surprise, I can only show the behind the scenes photos…

Photo of the Day [POTD]: magic marker

IMG_1223
Some things can’t be undone… and some words unsaid. Like an indelible marker on a pristine, white wall, your indiscretions have left a stain on our now tainted relationship.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: strip down naked

IMG_1219
You were most beautiful when you didn’t have to prove anything to anybody; when your guard was down and all those heavy layers taken off. Where freedom in the nakedness won over fear… and you let me in. That’s when I fell in love with you.

I love b+w night time photography. It’s a challenge to get the right exposures. Plus getting that gritty, grainy feel is a bonus. The rain was a welcome addition.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: miracle to me

IMG_1216 You are a golden god, in an era of silver and bronze.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: jack-of-all trades

IMG_1206
How many faces can you wear? How many hats can you put on? Do you still know who you realy are?

Photo of the Day [POTD]: monotonous

IMG_1202
My life has become one big routine. Day in and day out, I can look forward to only one thing: consistent boredom. Shoot me.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: heights

IMG_1198
Why do you always look down on people? Are you so high up on your pedestal that you have forgotten about your friends.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: can we still be friends

Todd Rundgren in the morning. Listening to the poignant lyrics is like taking your time sipping a slow drip coffee.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: boys will be boys

IMG_1192
You forget to see the humor behind some things. Sure, it may be a bit childish. But you gotta laugh. Out loud. Trust me, you’ll live longer.

I’ve gotten so caught up with my own life that I’ve forgotten to appreciate the other things in life. Trying to juggle work with other aspects of your life really does take its toll on you.
