I can show you the world.

When I was looking for an artist for this particular blog, I wanted to find a photographer because I think that photography is probably my favorite medium overall. I saw a lot of photographers that I liked but nobody really stood out or spoke to me at the moment. I began just clicking on several links and names and trying to find whatever I could, and I clicked on a random name reading Andrew Moore. Sometimes I feel like artists have crazy or bizarre names (haha), so I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of Andrew Moore... but I soon found out I loved his work. It is awesome-his photos have so much color and every one of them tells a different story. He has been so many places such as Vietnam, Bosnia, Cuba, Russia, New York, Abu Dhabi, and more. I want to travel, I want to see more of the world, and when looking at his photos I felt like I had already seen so much more of it. The thing about Moore's photographs that I really love is that he makes the most run-down places, places that most people would fin dirty, old, and ugly, so beautiful. He makes them look like some of the most beautiful places on earth. Moore is also so great at using lighting to the picture's advantage, I want to learn to do this! I looked through everyone one of his pictures twice, some more than that-and that is a lot. I suggest looking up Andrew Moore, I think he is very inspirational and so talented. I hope he inspires you as much as he does me, with his pictures you get to see a little more of the world and how beautiful it is!

Ready... Set... Design.

When I grow up... well, I guess it all begins next year. Next year i will be attending UIC and majoring in graphic design, possible double majoring in graphic design and industrial design and minoring in business. This will take four years of college and really takes the skills of creativity and what not. The sad thing is, is I am not sure exactly what i want to BE. All i know is i want it to relate to those topics. I really am considering going into advertisement and I think that is where I will end up, and I am very excited about it! However, one day I really want to own my own store, manage my own business.
Now, if we are talking what I want to be aside from what I am going to do, then I REALLY want to be a famous fashion photographer. How awesome would that be? I would definitely go to school for this to learn more than what i know about photography since i know almost nothing. I would love this career, it would be just like the ones featured on America's Next Top Model, ahhh! It would be so perfect. I would travel everywhere, see all of the latest fashions, it would be so inspirational and fun! But... it seems crazy and more of a dream:) But who knows what the future really holds!
