If you noticed, I lost two months somewhere. I did this on myspace, find me. I'm still doing it. I didn't wanna risk losing anymore so every now and then I'll post the continuted "one sentence journal."

a year.

and as our eyes fill up with tears, our hearts melt out with that gooey icky stuff little kids call love. falling into like with fall. and fall to winter to spring to summer. summer where we fall into autumn. where leaves crowd around our little life. swirling up and down, floating off into the sky. following patiently after words you've whispered into our souls. binding words, starving for a place where they can become their own. in a warm little room, as the leaves change to snowflakes, and white covers everything, everywhere. with no sun, it's the brightest time of year. you squint and i squint. we giggle at each others grimaces toward the blinding world. our hands unite as we shovel our way out all the way to spring. the days get longer and as the sun goes down, summer has come. finally, we've had our year. i just want four season with you. over and over again.

these things...move in me.

gray.

so first off, mia carruthers is completely awesome.
she was the show last year, taking the stage.
i diligently watched every episode. i love her voice.
here's one of many good ones,
we will grow--


she's gonna be on itunes, mia carruthers and the retro's.
oh in maybe a week or so.


i finished that wedding. weddings aren't my thing. they get me down. i don't wanna do that for the rest of my life. i just don't. it's not what i want my art to be...
i'm working again on the naked newspaper files. :) it's fun. i'm trying to create some different looks but i'm hitting roadblocks, here's what's happening so far with that tonight...
and to my lovely model hannah, thank you :) i will give you a cd of them all....eventually.
it's a pinked out black and white..meh



i looked at the plain, full color version and felt compelled to leave it alone.


i really wanted to go pink here....idk if it worked like i wanted.






i also have a dilemma. my website, www.whitetphotography.webs.com is coming to an end. i can leave it as is and never be able to add more photographs, or i can invest and buy a domain for a period of time and keep posting. i wish to do the latter..it's just choosing a domain. i struggle with a name. it's so final. and blah. i don't even know who i'm gonna be, ya know..so i might just end up doing clairefiedler.com, that's what's been playing around in my head. there'd be a lot of work i'd have to do and adjust a lot of things but maybe once all the family goes home i'll just have ootils of time on my hands. ooo-tuuulls. sound it out.
i was going to blog about it on my website and have ppl vote, but no one checks that blog really i don't think plus. i don't wanna pick something everyone else likes that i don't again.
that's what happened with c.photography. and then white t photography. i love that.. but then again, i don't think that's me. it's just what i wish i could play around with for awhile. i make compulsive decisions. i've been doing it all my life. i get it from my father. 'nuff of that.

she wolf


i frequently howl like ms. shakira.
s.0.s. she's in disguise.

movie break. i have been editing since 1:00 p.m.
with a break for some teriyaki chicken.
anyway, parental units are dragging me to old dogs. blah (N) no thanks.
oh well...least there will be a fountain coke. it's been too long mr. coca cola. :)

anyway, i really wish my throat didn't hurt.
i'll be back to editing for a few more hours later tonight but here's something to look at....



i have no idea why i love this image. ^

the colors of north carolina

we climbed up a huge light house.
learned my dad was afraid of heights.
i'm not going to tell you what this is,
because even my family looked at me
like i was crazy when i told them i
thought it was beautiful.......so i'll just
let you think it's beautiful too....
the sea salt erodes it and makes it this color.
all the piers were closed but we snuck over to this one,
it was a bummer we could only see it from shore.

it actually a was a really dreary day,
this evening was a terrible storm.
very cool to see.

high tide broke these boards off and made them
look jagged....ship wrecked.
a window at the top of the light house.
beautiful colors, very dirty.




i should probably be studying..
