Well, it looks like I won't be able to take many photos for quite some time... not my usual style, at least: nature.

As it turns out, we're moving this weekend. Headed down to sunny Florida, hooray. _sarcasm

I'm trying to stay positive about the whole thing. Although my parents have divorced now and I'm leaving all of my friends... maybe this could actually be better. New beginnings and all that. New school with a big art program set in an artsy community, more soccer opportunities, and it will be much easier to find a job.

I also have something new to photograph: the beach! Fresh new beginning everywhere. If everything works out right, I'm headed to California for college anyway.

We'll be without internet for maybe a week or two, though, as we settle in... so it looks like I'll be taking a short break in a few days, probably starting Friday. Once we get settled into our new house, I'll be back at it here on dA--in the meantime, I'll try to take more pictures.

Have a wonderful day, y'all!

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of Holly Bobo's disappearance. I had the honour of knowing the family and remember the exact moment her mother was given the horrible news that her daughter had been abducted from their own home. The initial search effort lasted for weeks, day in and day out, and we continue to look for her and her abductor. Everyone, especially in a small, quiet community, thinks that these things will never happen to them or someone they know. The grief we all still feel is proof that it can happen anywhere to anyone.

Even two years later, the hope that we have is astounding. We have pulled together not only to continue searching, but to support each other and especially the family through this. We will never give up hope that she will be returned to us safely and pray for the day that she is able to come home.
