So I know that I said that Beaubourg tote would be my last Louis piece for awhile… but… I totally lied (thank you tax return!). I had to get this wallet since it’s been sold out for the longest time everywhere! It just so happens that the Louis Vuitton store in Fashion Valley had one in stock so it was a must get, otherwise I’d be waiting another 6 months for this wallet.
I wanted a large wallet. The monogram print wallet I have is nice, but I think it’s time for an upgrade. I’ll probably hold onto that one for a more low key look I guess. Anyway, this Brazza wallet is perfect. Not too big and not too small and my iPhone fits perfectly in the coin pouch. Yes! Crazy right?
I haven’t transfered all my wallet goodness into yet but I did take a few snap shots to share. FOR REAL, this is the last LV piece I’m buying till at least 6 months!
Here’s an image of Emma drunk… not totally wasted but ya know, feelin’ good and lookin’ pretty good.
and then in a split second… this bitch look like she’s on crack and just got done doing a line:

Recap: CEO, CFO, Dir. of HR have been here pretty much all week. Meetings here, meetings there. Presentations, taco day, Wii tennis vs. the CEO and work, work and more work.
End Recap. So I had a product photoshoot today at work (with Emma/Ryan/Julez) and we shot off (but on) location in our warehouse. We basically did a quick session from about 2:45 to 5:45 or so. We got some sic ass shit outta random crap in the warehouse. Reminded me of the time we did a shoot at my house with a 60 dollar thrift store budget (holla!).
Anyway, during that time I had a missed called from my brother on my work phone with no message and about 6 missed calls from my brother and sister on my cell.
Immediately I thought, “shit, it’s an emergency.” Then I thought, “Fucking shit! It’s raining out.”
When it rains in California, it’s good because we need the water… bad because people can’t fucking drive in rain here. Well… it’s not that they “can’t” drive in rain. It’s more like they’re too stupid to realize it’s common sense to drive more cautiously when the fucking road is wet. Anyway, THANK THE HEAVENS the missed calls had nothing to do with any sort of accident or bodily harm but I must admit that I was in shock for those first few rings when I was returning some calls. I excepted the worse and had this crazy feeling, like OH MY GOD.
It was a bit of an emergency, but it dealt more along the lines of a project we had did a few months back and a client was requesting some images to be taken off the internet. Rightfully so… we had agreed not to post them but I think my brother just completely forgot. Honest, but dumb mistake on his part.
At any rate, I’m home. Tired. Hungry. Bored because a friend flaked. So I’m here alone, listening to the raindrops and thinking about what I should eat. First reaction was ramen since it’s raining but then I saw some spam chillin’ in the cabinet. That might be good with rice and eggs. Or I can get fancy and go to the store to pick up some lean ground beef to make garlic roasted cheese turkey burgers on lettuce. Stomach is saying TURKEY BURGER… body is saying FUCK YOU JUST HEAT UP SOME WATER AND COOK THAT RAMEN IN 3 MINUTES. BITCH.
Life has been so weird lately. A roller coaster of ups and downs flying in every which way in such a short amount of time. I can’t seem to grasp the good and hold onto it.
I was on the pier when I saw a pattern of light in the ocean glimmer. At first the strong highlights hurt my eyes but after a few seconds of starring, my sight started to adjust.
What I saw was the most beautiful sparkle.
I got to thinking about all the similes like, "Don’t judge a book by it’s cover" or "Beauty lies within," and you know what… I truly believe in that.
There’s so much more to life than what you see on the outside and that’s a lot of what photography is about. Taking in what you see… what other people see with their naked eye… and connecting yourself with what you can enable yourself to see.
And in this instance, I took that harsh light and turned it into something that to me, is beautiful. That’s not to say I didn’t adjust my settings by taking the image out of focus to create bokeh, or compensated some exposure to get rid of highlights… but that’s also what life is about for me. Adjusting, learning, and trying to live better.
