things i .love. wednesdays

I forgot to mention before that the idea for things I love Wednesdays came from the favorite things blog: http://favoritethingsproject.blogspot.com/. It's a blog where two photographers, who live far away from each other, take a polaroid each week of one of their favorite things and then one send theirs to the other and they are put into a diptych. The combination of the images is pretty fascinating.

Also, a lot of blogs I read do special blogs about things they love and I thought it would be nice to give the blog a personal touch and an insight into the strange brain of little ole' me.

Anyways, onto some things I love.

I .love. this painting by Kurt Halsey (www.kurthalsey.com)!

I bought it at Urban Outfitters in Sacramento when I was living completely alone for the first time. I didn't even have money to eat at the time but I found the $35 or whatever to buy because I felt so drawn to it. Sounds silly I know but I felt like it was a little painting of me. I had bangs and super blond hair at the time and was battling loneliness in my little 600 square foot abode. It strangely made me feel better. Less alone. I knew I had to have it for my apartment so I could have something to make me a little happier. And it always did and still does.

I also .love. .... balloons!!!



I think this is an obvious one but I love them so much that I have decided to revisit my balloon series, only this time sans jumping/floating. It was impossible to get the balloons to behave when they are tied to all your limbs and you're jumping frantically in an attempt to best the self-timer.

Anyways, there is something about balloons that just brings me pure happiness so why not incorporate that into some images? It should be fun if nothing else. =)



Oh and sorry about not doing my "inspired by" post yesterday. I took some photos for it but they turned out awful. So bad I didn't even want to post them.. and that's bad. I will definitely try and do a two-fer next week to make up for it though.
