Artsy Fartsy Friday

 Matthew is in his last year of college(thank jesus! He does not handle stress well) at the University Of North Florida as a Photography Major. Well Photography isn't his only cup of tea, he's very talented in almost all aspect of art from painting, to drawing to cooking and yes, even rapping. He's going to read this and say "why do you tell people that?! I can't rap!" but seriously, he can. Here are a few photos from his last project, I love them so much. Every time he creates something new that I fall in love with, I don't see myself ever loving something more, until the next thing he creates. These are called cyanotypes, the bottom one was toned in sodium bicarbonate for a different effect. "I choose the subject matter because it evokes a timeless and mysterious feel and I like taking pictures of you"-Matthew. I hope you enjoy them!

Visiting back home.

                                                            Just outside the Marion Theater.

I never realized how cute my small hometown, Ocala, is until a recent trip back home to visit family, attend my mothers wedding and get mail that is still being sent to her house. Usually my trips back home are a combination of, seeing a few old friends if the chance is given, a big family dinner and some quality family time. I've brought Matthew home with me numerous times, but we've never adventured past my old neighborhood and maybe a grocery store here and there, so I was very excited that we had a few hours to kill before we had to be at my fathers for dinner. We happily spent it downtown. Here are just a few pictures we took, I hope you enjoy them. xoxo.

                                                       Great finds at Brothers Keepers, thrift store!

                                                                  Just like the movie cars!
