When flipping through Paris 1962: Yves Saint Laurent and Dior, Christian Dior, The Early Collections. I was instantly mesmerized by the images, at first touch they seem like any page. Then my finger grazes the page and it feels rough, to believe this didn't just happen I slide my hand on it as a "wax on, wax off" motion. After awhile of touching and then flipping through the large images I started appreciating the grainy appeal to them. Next time I take a black and white I'll be sure to do it in an ill lit area.

No these are not grainy but in the spirit of B&W's and after looking through a book that was dedicated to African American's history through photos. The combination couldn't be more promising. Besides these women are beautiful!

Loves Today

I'm back from an art camp that lasted a whole month! I miss it but once this sleep deprivation stops I'll get back on it or maybe i'll use it as inspiration...hmm I've got so many ideas it's madness. "I try to run but I'm not that fast" Kid Cudi day and night. Seemed to fit.

When fall/winter arrives I want a lush soft white sweater with bear claws that can hang from my neck or my H&M feather earrings, that might be too much. We'll see depending on the style of this future sweater.

The last photo had this haunting yet intimate feel to it, just the position of the body and the calm hair gave off this feral feel. Its something I love seeing in my own hair; a sheen that's smooth, wavy and a small amount of frizz. Also when my tips are thin and gradually get bigger(not too big! eeck) is something I love!
