flickr: emilie 79*s
first off, i want to apologize for my absence. my life has taken a complete 360 turn, from the path it was on. i've chosen to go in another direction.....at least for the time being. anyways, today i'm feeling very inspired! emilie 79* is held responsible for this. one can't help but to be in "awe" when looking through her magnificent photographs. polaroid, as most of us know, as become a dying breed. this is terrible, i hate it, but it is true. we all know......digital, digital, and more digital. blah blah blah. however, you would never know this fact to be true, after visitng emilie 79*s flickr page. her constant flow of beautiful polaroid images are soo striking, that you can't help but to look at every single one. the pale blue tones, the messages within, the color schemes, the vintage processes, etc. are classic! emile 79* on flickr, also known as emilie lefellie of paris, france, definitely knows polaroid cameras....actually 8 different types of polaroid cameras. her magnificant book: "a girl's polaroids," can not be missed! emilie was also selected to shoot test shots for the "impossible project" using their px100 film. this set of photographs is in incredible! one of theses images was displayed at their exhibition in nyc. so, emilie 79* aka emilie lefellie, today is your day here. you have inspired us all, and resurrected the dead. we, the living, thank you:). rip polaroid. celebrate yourself and your photographs emilie, for they are truly remarkable!

flickr: plutonnia
plutonnia, finally, and way past due, today is your day. plutonnia a.k.a marly, is my “one of kind.” She is beautiful, both inside and out, and has been a big part of my life. if i could put a face on the word "inspired" no doubt, that hot latin firecracker, marly, would be the chosen one! i have never seen someone so determined to explore the unknown, try new things, and learn through trial and error. a truly passionate artist, who will continue to succeed. living with marly in nyc, i got to witness first hand, her vibrant energy daily. i remember when marly knew nothing about photography, other than the fact that she was growing to love it more and more with every passing day. today, things aren't the same. she is one of the most talented photographer's i know, and the most amazing thing of all, is that she learned everything on her own, and out of true passion. it's incredible how far you've come marly. really, it truly is. you knew what you wanted, and you went for it. pinching pennies to save up for equipment, seeking advice, learning from fellow artists, investing countless hours teaching yourself photoshop, lightroom, and aperture......the list goes on. i never doubted you, never. yo conozco mi muejer latina muuuuy bien! you strive to conquer! your ability to succeed on both sides of the camera, is just not fair. Why are you soo damn photogenic?!? your self-portrait aka “365” project on flickr is incredible. amazing use of light you created in that small ass apartment. the tight compositions engage the viewer, and beautiful textures flow perfectly. i love it!! did i tell you I’m proud of you? well, i am. you’re amazing chica! marly is also a very talented actress, and just to prove a point about her dedication, she is know going back to film school. when i met marly, this was where her heart was; acting was her true passion. i’m glad to see you’re making time for it, in you life again. how…………now that’s the question at hand. if you haven’t yet, get to know marly aka plutonnia. her energy is definitely contagious! you’ll feel it through her photography, for sure. I love you girl. today is your FABULOUS day here!

flickr: *Sara-Magic*s
sara, as you should know, your photos definitely, and have always spoken to me. known on flickr as Sara-Magic*s, my dear friend sara, is a rare and talented find. taking creativity to new heights, and always keeping an open-mind about everything that crosses her life's path. though i have not gotten
to spend as much time with sara as i would like, we always managed to make the best of every situation, we got ourselves into. from road trips to mexico, just hours before a flight, to all-day jd drinking/photo adventures in new orleans, and one specific secret/incident she and i will only
know.....all i can say is,"what happens in tulsa, stays in tulsa." sara, you know EXACTLY what i'm talking about! a lover of anything vintage, flavorful, out of the norm, and mind challenging, is what you
represent. i love it! less than 100lbs, you are the true definition of "dynamite comes in small packages."i thought i was a brave soul, until i met you. *Sara-Magic*s, reveals her magic through a camera…traveling, times with friends, beautiful places, and artistic endeavors. i moved to nicaragua, 2yrs. ago., after one 2week visit. i had thought about going to nicaragua a few times, but never took it into
serious consideration. that is, until one work day spent with sara. i had been wanting to move to central america,in order to shoot a personal documentary over the natives, the culture, the history, and the effects of tourism, for quite some time. the thing was, i absolutely knew, that i did not want to persue this adventure in costa rica. no offense to costa rica, i just wanted something new, and undiscovered. Somewhere i had to search and immerse myself in the lifestyle, in order to produce a true body of work, representing a personal "hands on" experience. truthfully, i would have never have chosen nicaragua, as my destination, and home for 2 years, if i had never received sara's advice. yes, i would have traveled there eventually, but who knows when. this experience changed my life, and when the work is finally finished, and ready to be shown, i hope it will leave an impact on you. thank you sara. when will this documentary be finished.....i don't know. i left the u.s. just before the economy began to crumple, and moved to a 3rd world country, where $100 per month is considered to be middle class. i have just recently moved back to the u.s, and you can probably imagine where i stand financially. i'm not worried, it will happen. whether it be in 5 months or 5 years, and it will be
incredible. enough about me, it's time to share the work of an extraordinary friend/photographer, *Sara-Magic*s. thank you and your art. today is your day here sweetheart.
