Reflections

Katie and I spent the day exploring what our fabulous city has to offer. Surprisingly, there are many findings in the cold winter months. We spend a good amount of time at the McNamara Alumni Center. I worked with reflections to capture two learning photographers in action.
Here it is...the money shot. The photograph you take and stop in your tracks because you know it's good. I feel proud of this shot- it's going to the vault.

Split Ends. Katie trying to recreate the money shot on her own camera, I was able to snap her in action.

Museum Mayham

Exploring some of Minneapolis...

Gargoyle America. Swedish American Institute in MPLS.


Door. An interesting and new angle to an everyday something.

The water at the McNamara makes the whole room smell like a hot tub store. Makes you want to relax in some warm H2O.

Katie- my fellow photographer. Her and I are working hard to explore our cameras and the things we can do to capture the little things in life. I think we're slowly getting the hang of it. It is comforting to have a close friend who get giddy about pictures too.



A cold, snowy day. No one is going for a bike ride.

Sin City

We're the three best friends that anyone could have...we're the three best friends that anyone could have.
Ladies at the Palazzo, heading to XS

Chilling the Goose.

A Trip Out West

One lonely rose.

Disneyland Ferris Ride.

Smoggy LA.

Lovers.

The Getty in LA. The architecture was breathtaking. Visited on a beautiful day. Too bad LA was polluted with smog making the ocean impossible to spot from the top of the hill, beautiful view none the less.

The Santa Monica pier on a cool January Thursday evening is quiet. It seemed warm as a Midwesterner. It was calming to hear the waves of the Pacific hit the shore yet the chaos of a carnival happening simultaneously.

Disneyland's African Sufari, makes for a cool picture. The incredibly 'elementry' ride made me chuckle. Very fake animals, something as a child would have been magical. Isn't it interesting how you view something on an entirely different level when you're a child? As if everything is perfect.

In For The Kill

I like it when people call me Lizzie but would hate it if everyone did. I eat chocolate every day. I eat sushi. I couldn’t live without coffee. Techno/electronic music makes me feel happy. I like to work, be the best I can. I hate wasting time. I am positive and optimistic. Pessimism is frustrating. I make people laugh unintentionally, sometimes intentionally. Laughter fills my soul. My family and friends are the most important thing in the world. I’m selfishly independent. I am obsessed with large cities. Living in London is the best thing I have done. I always want to learn about others. I want to help people. I want to inspire those around me. I run. I swim. I cry during movies. I feel cool in sunglasses. I want to travel the world. I will visit each state before I die. I play cribbage. I will have a great love. I have been hurt. I will always find new passions. I care for everyone. I have always wanted to blog for no one other than myself. I believe in God. Photography is breathtakingly beautiful, so is a fresh snowfall. I am obsessed with Christmas. I could dance forever. I believe in gay rights. And woman’s rights. I am a musician. I wear big earrings. And boots. I always want to watch a movie. Sex and the City and Friends always clear my head. I could learn about psychology always, and religion. I find new music and share it. Reunions are life changing. I will visit Greece. I will ride a hot air balloon. Diet cokes are perfect on a hot summer day. Cabernet is my favorite wine. I surround myself with positive people. I am comfortable being alone. I don’t smoke cigarettes anymore but think about it often. I love cooking. I love learning. My favorite color is blue, always has been. I’m unbelievable organized. I love art, the passion and strength you can see from a painting is inspiring. I will learn another language. I feel important in heels. I will have no regrets. When I go to a bar, I get a Miller Lite but like most beers. I am an explorer. I am strong. I have great ambition. I will make a difference. I’m a bad mamma jamma. When I’m gone, I will be remembered.
