Sorry for how long this took. I've been slow to editing. I guess at least I send out a set every month. I usually plant to have the $5+ set published earlier in the month and the $10+ later

I had the opportunity to shoot a few looks with my friend Griffin through Florida. I absolutely adorable Florida. It was nice to have someone calm and easy going drive with me, and do most of the driving. I was able to get a lot of messaging done while he drove, but it was hard to edit much in the sun lit car. The best part of having him was getting to show someone else why Florida is so beautiful. I guess that one of the ways I like modeling, and have gotten into some landscape/macro photography. It is to show people what's been hiding in their backyards. It's also to remind myself how beautiful the world is. There is such a high looking at beautiful things, naturally made or otherwise. Being in awe has an inspiring affect on me. Not that I don't appreciate the things that aren't just visually beautiful. Beautiful is so subjective for the most part. I want to capture and remember the feeling a place gave me or that I sensed. Often I feel like I sense a lot of my own tiredness or anxiety. For a while I was hiding it away, but find it so releasing to model it. It seems as though I can connect with people about it in that way too. There is something just beautiful in that relatedness. It is like a symmetry or a puzzle piece fitted in the right spot. Maybe there is also something sad in nature and other things I find beautiful. I don't think really thing it is so much sad, as it is real, miraculous, and expressive. A deep valley or cliff hang has a deepness to it that is literal and metaphorical. The anxiety of that height feels like it matches me own anxiety. That is where it is exciting, inpsiring, and whatever else it is. Flowers are tragically beautiful. I think that might be more sentimental as they remind me of poems of lost love, epic battles, etc. They are always a symbol of something to someone.
