Thanks for much for going on this journey with me. I really need support during this time. I'm still not healed from my heart break, or from self betrayal but I'm working on it. Please stop by anytime.

So it does get better. I'm not so sad now, just dealing with motherhood and how I didn't want children but at a young age I made the choice to have one and here we are. I shot this flower because so ofter I forget how pretty I am or what I look like to other people-pretty, strong, many talents, always shining.

2009-03-04T17:03:00.001-08:00

OH, the empty street. This is rare for where I live but I just happen to look at this street and think this is how I feel and it's empty for miles....how I felt(days, years). I shot this photo in black and white because it simply said what I needed it to say. I want all my viewers to feel what I'm feeling when I shoot...at least that is my goal.

2009-03-04T17:00:00.000-08:00

Okay the deal with this house is I have been admiring it for sometime, I just happen to walk past it the same day I was gloomed out, it was dark, lonely, empty, and had been for sometime just like me.....I cried when I saw it we had a connection, I had to shot it. I love the quality of this photo it's so crisp, clean, like when a man shaves.

This picture is the begining of my doom and gloom, boy did it hit me bad, I hadn't felt like that in sometime. This guy he was really a good listener and he paid attention to me, I usually don't get that in men what I say doesn't matter or I'm invisiable that's how I feel so when I got that attention it was nice and I didn't want it to end.

2009-03-04T16:50:00.001-08:00

Here is another photo I love when I look at it. This was the Black History parade in my city; I totally feel cheated by Black History month because the month is so short, anyway just an observation. It was rather cool, pretty, crisp day, when you walk into the shade it's cold but standing in the sun it warms your body.

Have you ever had that feeling when you predict something is going to happen but you're in denial about it; that's what happen to me. On Valentine's Day, I never saw my valentine again, again, I mean it... again. I can now write about it but two days ago, no way! I took this picture then, I was so hopeful things would work out for me in the relationship area but they didn't. I don't know why, called a ton of girlfriends guessing why but none of us know why things happen or why people come in and out of your life abrutly and unexpectedly.

Amazing

I love this street

2009-02-09T20:00:00.001-08:00

Enjoy the show!

I have experience

2009-02-09T19:51:00.000-08:00

So I was watching a movie and one of the characters said he did everything right but he could get what he wanted. That sounds so familiar with my life, if I didn't become a single mother, my life would be great and if I finish my BA degree and became a teacher my life would be great right, this is all the right things to do. For a black girl raised by a single mother this was inbedded into my memory brain, don't get pregnant, don't have sex, don't don't don't just don't breathe. I was worried about college in the seventh grade, my grades didn't reflect high school and I was ready for college....right....

So, I have this non-traditional life, but I have a story to tell. I have something to share with others, maybe we can relate, maybe not but I have what some don't - experience, I have experienced life.

I have truely fuck up somethings but somehow I manage to bounce back. I'm not sure what I will share with you next, what my experiences are.......

.....until next time
and while you're waiting please enjoy the picture show.

After death we sit at the cemetary waiting, then we go on our journey-it can be a long road ahead. Be patient the bend in the road will come along.

Death comes in many forms. There's physical something we can all see with the naked eye, spiritual something among our soul has gone, it could be a loved one, a horrible person, or someone you met and for some reason their spirit is gone. The last is letting go is a death, it could be letting go a friend, a lover, child, husband, job, house, anything that isn't physically gone but in your mind and soul it is, it's dead to you. You have moved on and out; death also involves change. OOH, I know I said the 'C' word. Death is something we are scared of, I know I am- I hate change but I'm learning to welcome it. The next few photos were taken at a cemetery, in and around. I hope you enjoy my perspective. Remember I do this because it's fun and the pictures are beauty from my pain.

Enjoy,

Karen

This photo is of biggie. He is my new found love with four legs. I'd never thought i would fall in love with him but I do.

2008-10-22T16:52:00.001-07:00

More photos of my town.....

The color of this flower is amazing! My heart sinks when I look at this photo.......this is living; having the ability to see beauty in everything.

2008-10-22T16:50:00.001-07:00

I will share more pictures with you......

I took this photo on a solo date with myself....just a walk in the park;exercise is good mentally and physically.

2008-10-22T16:37:00.000-07:00

So, I'm a single lady in my town and it really sucks. I am having the hardest time meeting men who are like me, that have the same qualities. I do meet mne but the relationships are short lived because I'm getting pickier and don't want to put up with their shit. So recently I made a declaration that if the people in my life are not for me they have to go or I will go.....which leads me to my next thing.....my creative side. I started taking photos a couple of weeks ago, I love this universe it's so beautiful. Back to photograpy, now I'm hooked, I love taking photos when I'm bored or going to the park and taking more pic, just enjoying myself. Then, I thought "hey karen, could this be a business? yes it could!"; so here I am blogging to you about my journey. Although I'd desire hot sex, every night from a hot man but until I get that I will turn my engery to photography and other creative things the universe has for me. Did I tell you I like to sing......
