voyage

I feel like going traveling again guys...thanks to my amazing parents I've travelled quite a bit...now I'd like to be able to independently save some money and  be able to go on my own (steer away from shoe shopping for a while). Turkey, Czech Republic, Portugal & more of Spain, Greece, Macedonia, Armenia, Sicily, Cyprus, Corsica... a bit more of Europe and the mediterranean countries. Apparently Afghanistan is breathtaking...BUT that would have to wait a few more years methinks.

South America as well...but I'll save the best for last :)

Tainted

These are water damaged photos, they're just so beautiful...the cracks & smudged + displaced ink. I think its sparked a new painting idea for me. hehe. These look like they belong to a holga fanatic who also happens to be a water nymph/ mermaid, stashed her photos in her aquatic abode and they were found by a scuba diver/ treasure hunter one day... Or if you're a realist then i'd offer you the boring version: they were just in someone's humid attic which got rained in with a hole in the roof, found these babies and decided to send them off to natgeo. yawns.
I'm inspired now, they're too cooool!

Monotones & Phobias

[this is my biggest phobia i think. I once saw a documentary on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I was destined to be terrorized for the rest of my life. eek.]

Reminds me of a scene in the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's Kansas house?

A little bit of my culture for you.

I'm a national geographic fanatic. and damn proud of it! Watching the world makes you appreciate being alive. If you want to travel and don't have a budget, I suggest checking out their travel photos on their website. I collect the photos i find in the website because they're just so darn nice. seriously.
