I don't think I could ever
handle a simple life.
Brassaï
Gyula Halász's love of the city of Paris,
whose streets he often wandered late at night,
led to photography while he was tutored by the fellow
Hungarian master Andre Kertesz.
He later wrote that photography allowed him to
seize the Paris night and the beauty of the streets
and gardens, in rain and mist.
He captured the essence of the city in his photographs,
publishing his first book of photographs in 1933 titled "Paris de nuit"
Here are a few of my favorite photos by him:
Vogue's 2007 September Issue featured a
visually stimulating 1920's fashion spread
inspired by Brassaï.
Definitely visually appealing, the styling gets a gold star.
Although the light in these photographs is phenomenal,
I would have liked to see a parallel to his work with some night shots.

Sorry boys! I'm busy.
I confess, I'm a serial monogamist.
I've spent a large majority of my young life
(5 years since I was 17)
attached to someone in a long term relationship.
Now, I'm 24 years old,
a photographer/graphic design student,
and I'm trying to find time for a social life.
I find myself to simply be wayyy
too busy for a boyfriend.
I barely have an ounce of time for myself.
I don't see myself the same way I use to.
I'm still discovering this enormous world,
and my world is still opening up.
This year is going to be just for me.
No one else is on my priority list but myself.
That's all, no apologies.
Bring it 2010.
I'm going to smile
because I deserve to!
A lot has changed, and of course all at once...
First, the good.
-I just moved into my new place, and I LOVE it!
Here's a little picture of my new place that I took on my phone.
-My room mate and I are having a blast with decorating!
-I've been eating, and living really healthy, and I feel SO good.
-I've been a lot more spiritually connected.
-My friends are closer than ever.
Now, the not so good.
-My boyfriend (of 2 years) and I are calling it quits :(
-My mom is moving out of state, and I'm going to miss her :(
-My brother is moving up to NorCal and I'm going to miss him :(
Now people keep bringing up the "abandonment" issue.
"I bet you feel so abandoned, like mass exit-us...
everyone's leaving all at once!"
I think, sure everyone's going their separate ways,
and it will be hard to be away from them.
But this is truly the best time for me to blossom on my own.
I think that I have so many reasons that I deserve to smile,
I'm truly so blessed.
Now is the time for me to really see how far I can take
this life that I was given,
just me, myself and I.
