Perfect Position

Its quite amazing what sitting in a basement with a cigarette in hand talking about your favorite underwear with two awesome girls can do to you. I honestly can say I love where I am at and who I'm with in my life. I have fantastic friends and an astounding boyfriend. And it's all because I finally let my guard down and let them know the real Ann. I'm not going to lie, the real Ann is pretty badass. :]

All of my posts are always so....me me me. Sorry about that. But I'm definitely ready for this new chapter in my life to begin. 6 months ago I thought I was, but now I really am. I'm about to turn the tassle and take on a whole new beginning. Moving out in August. Struggling for the first time to make ends meet. Other people seem scared of it but I am far from scared because I will finally begin to learn about my passion, photography, and meet some many people. I love people. I suppose that's why I enjoy portraiture photography so much. A photo of a single person holds a story that only that one person knows and just having that peice of work links me to that story. And if I'm not part of numerous people's stories, I want to at least be in one person's story. And them in mine.

I do believe I was meant to be a hippie in the '60s. Oh how I envy my mother and her past endeavors. But I have all of mine right in front of me.



I've learned to approach people as open books. With books people open them up and read whatever is in front of them and accept it. Even if they don't enjoy or agree with what is there, they take the time and give it a chance. Everyone deserves a chance. Maybe even a second one. Because as stated in an earlier post, there's always going to be that glass panel that needs to be broken down. So give that person a chance to break it and let them break yours. If you get hurt, accept it as life because people are supposed to get hurt through life or they wouldn't be able to know the actual wonderous things. Risk. It's all about risk.



I know my thoughts are very lucid right now, and I know I'll come back up and clear things up, but for now, I'm scattered, loved, loving, and accepted.



Yes, one of my labels is badass. =]

Have a wonderful Wednesday lovies!

Ann, i feel like i am completely on the same page as you.. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. Ann your ahead of our time your pictures and your writings are the perfect blend of a masterpeice. I thought of you the other day, i was reading this months creative loafing and a staff writer wrote "Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it." Keep writing, your words as well as your pictures are art.
