Raw

Raw emotion is something that intrigues me. Things like anger, despair, surprise, jealousy, and in some cases, love.... they grab a hold of you, overflow you, even have physical side effects. In retrospect, couldn't it all have been avoided anyway?

I want to study these. I want to reach inside and figure out just what makes these emotions so powerful. Is it powerful in comparison because they aren't constant? Do I flip out when I'm angry because I'm rarely angry so I might as well milk it?

I want images that depict these emotions. I don't want 'lonely' to be a person in an empty room... I want to do my best to peel apart what it is, the components of these thoughts,emotions,feelings. I want to get to the root.

Thoughts from the morning.

This is what I love

I want to shoot with film forever.

I want to be behind the scenes.

I want to photograph my own reality.

I want to document lives.

I want to see the music

Introductions

So, hello there. I'm Melissa and this is my new blog. I say new, because I abandoned my old one. I'm in a place in my life where school, the only thing I've ever known, has come to an end and life as it seems is just beginning.

I don't know where it goes from here. I'm sure I should have a better plan by now, I feel like a 90s slacker



I want to do a million things at once and don't know where to start. One thing at a time I suppose.

In this blog, I shall arrange my thoughts! I shall make lists! I will go forth and create! This is what is to come. And I'm sure at times, it won't make sense. But this is what I gots ta do to make it all make sense.... well then I'm gonna do it.

Welcome, to [soon to be] organized chaos.
