Beach Trips!

I've been going to the beach more than I ever have. I never really went to the beach because my family chose not to but, I always remember loving it there when I did go. Now that I've been going more often I'm really enjoy it, once I got older I didn't appreciate the beach here. I always though how the sea is a yucky green and how the sand is just a fake excuse that's closer to clay. I've changed my point of view though, I've started to see it how i use to. I could never stop loving the sound of the water hitting the shore though, no matter how small the waves are here.

There's a lot of photos, I've warned you now.

This one is of one of my bestest friends, Alicja, it also features an awkward arm. (#TeamAwkoArm)








Love how she stares at the fish, haha!


Audrey looks so peaceful in this photo.






We fished this tire out of the sea, it was hard work.






Love the way it looks under the Pier.




Hope you enjoyed a look at my many recent trips to the beach.

What's your favorite thing to do at the beach?

Life In Photos...

Hello There!



I've decided to start up a blog, as I love photography this blog will have a lot of photos. It's basically a lifestyle combined with a photography blog, or as I like to call it "Life In Photos."


So today I've decided to write about some photos that I've taken that I personally like, and I'm going to just tell about the back story or how they make me feel. So, let's get started.





This first photo is of a glass coke bottle, now I don't know about you but, there's something I love about drinking coke in a glass bottle. Although, beside that this photo is overall in good quality, it was taken on my iPhone 4, with only 6% battery, while I was talking on the phone and had a sun glare on my screen. The experience sounds impressive me. The plus side to this photo is that my friends that I've showed it to love it just as much as I do, which is always nice to hear. Oh, and lets that forget how good the focus is, I'm a sucker for photos with good focus.





This is actually of one of my best friends, Audrey. Thinking back to this day always is funny, it feels like two days separate days or two days combined. The photo originally was much darker but, I decided to brighten it and play around with features like saturation and such. Audrey's brightly colored Penny Board stands out among the rest of the details, which I particularly like. This photo brings me back to that day, as we waited for a train that our friends never thought were coming but, it did. It was a satisfying day, this photo is just a portion of it.





Although it seems like just trees, it's more than that. Look, closely, it feels like you can see the world's curve. The simplicity of trees is a beautiful thing. This was taken before the leaves started to grow back, the bareness of the trees brings emotion to the photo. It's weird how a photo in color could appear so black and white, it amazes me. There's a sentimental touch that belongs to this photo, and I like that.





There's quite a light theme going on in this photo. The walking sign, the cloudy sky, the snowflakes, they all make up this photo. There's no special memory along to this photo, I just took it on my walk to the bus stop. It feels like the perfect representation of where I live though, I wish I could explain why but, some feelings aren't meant for words, they can only be felt. Another thing I interpret from this photo is that life goes on through the coldness, which is as simple as that. It sounds like an easy thing to realize but, it's also great advice. Go on through the coldness in your life, it can only lead to warmer days after all.






This photo was taken by my lovely friend, Audrey of course (expect to hear her name a lot in my posts). All I did was brighten up the photo, as I do often. This photo gives off a very happy feeling, maybe it's the bright colors or maybe it's just me. The day itself was nice as well, we went skateboarding and it was overall just extremely nice weather. I love how I stand out in the photo as well. Audrey has a great eye for photography, we have this in common. We both find pictures in every scene possible, that's how this photo came to be. Thanks Audrey, for the positive vibes in this photo.



That's all! Hope you liked me talking a bit about some of my photos. I think this blog is going to be really enjoyable fore me. I'll try to post every Saturday and Tuesday (in EST) so look forward to that because I have plenty of blog posts in mind that differ a bit from this one. Are you excited? I know I am.
