Tahoe

This winter break I went to Lake Tahoe with my family. The first night we went to get pizza and coming from Los Angeles, 20 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty traumatic if I may say. 

In order to keep warm during the five minute walk to the pizza parlor I had to dress for the occasion:

Hat: possibly my grandfather's, otherwise it's a mysterious beanie found on the closet floor chez ma grandmère. 

Jacket: possibly my grandfather's, a gift to my dad which became a gift to me.

Sweater: thrift shop in Hollywood (welcome to my hood). 

Pants: style for less (I was on a budget & the pants fit right

Shoes: topshop yo. 

I hope everyone had a beautiful and magical winter break & new year! 

What Happens in Vegas, Stays on the Internet.

In February, my friend Devon and I went to Las Vegas, Nevada for some hard core gambling. No, we were just underaged, teen babies traveling with our families on vacation. Though we were legally incapable of shooting craps and winning the jackpot, we enjoyed ourselves until the early hours of the morning exploring this grand, amusement park looking hotel. With a little help from my friend Canon Rebel T3, we click, click, flashed all the way from the entrance back to our rooms.

Because my back is far more entertaining than casual, drunken, Vegas weddings.

Tastes hot, feels cold.

I really like the black and white filter usage on these pictures. I adore the contrast between the lights and darks, all the different tones of grey, etc...I feel that black and white makes everything far more intimate and emotional no matter the subject in the photograph/film/(whatever you're creating).

Friends are not disposable.

My friends all gathered up under a beautiful cherry blossom tree having a picnic. 

My lovely hound, Blaze.

An amazing sculpture we saw at a museum in DC. It was a map of the United States (obviously) and their stereotypes replaying on televisions of all different sizes.  By far one of my favorites. 

A totally unclear photo of my finger and my friends at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

An alley that leads to the back of Ford's theater where John Wilkes Booth,  Lincoln's assassinator, was found exiting after killing the President.  

Back of the White House, pretty self explanatory.

Front of the White House, again, self explanatory.

Washington Nationals baseball game. It was freezing.

He's super.

My boys fighting the flash.

My friend's super cool planet phone case she got at the National Air and Space Museum.

Enjoying the cold, they are.
