the wind whispered to me in my sleep that there is never any body to hoist itself in, to clench its fingers and dig holes in flesh, and call it home.

if i’d turned my back against the story, would my shadow cease?
your shadow is sewed with threadbare dreams, visible through slanted sunlight slits onscreen, filtered through pink rust and ocher from the window grills, dusty with artificial longing.
and the wind is nothing but a collection of lonely gazes, the accumulation of salt when the tides recede from the boulders, damp with dismay.
if i’d turn against the story, where would that leave my body?
i wrote this for us but you’ve parched the skies clean, a skeletal ribcage left for beasts to feed on. what have we led ourselves onto?
this story is no longer a story when it falls asleep.

laze daze

why hello, i'm still alive, haven't had the chance to shoot ever since internship started, and now that it's over, i finally did!!!! i know, i'm still learning, still trying to conceptualise, ya, if you log onto your explore page on instagram, EVERYONE is shooting portraits, i can't comment on this, bc i don't consider myself a photographer, to even think that highly of myself would be disrespectful to those who have been hustlin' way before vsco filters existed. but it's always a pleasure to shoot for fun!!! i'd like to think i've improved, (have i???? u can judge for urself) ashley is such a natural, outfits styled by her, makeup done by her too, location: her room!! sometimes u gotta weigh the pros and cons, of having ur make up melt off outdoors or just make the most of what you have at home with air-conditioning, yknow, the answer is pretty straightforward. more pictures will be up on her blog in due time!! in the meantime, u can peep the preview below!
