GOALS // PRINT MORE PICTURES: CHECK.

One of my (many) New Year's goals this year was to take and print more pictures! Having an iPhone helps because it means I have a camera on me almost all the time. It's also nice to have apps like Instagram that make editing easy peasy and it is so much quicker than uploading my photos and editing them in Photoshop.
So a couple weeks ago I ordered some of my Instagram pictures on PostalPix. I got them in the mail and it was super fun to actually hold the pictures in my hands rather than just looking at them on my phone. The quality is really good and PostalPix was really easy to work with (if you ever want to order iPhone pictures I would totally recommend them!)! I decided to update my room and make myself an Instagram wall! It's fun to have all of the pictures up on display.

KONY 2012

KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.

"Where you live shouldn’t determine if you live."

Have you seen this video yet? If not, watch it right now!! I saw it all over Facebook and decided to finally sit down and watch it. It's about 27 minutes, but SO worth your time. The video is all about raising awareness about the Lord's Resistance Army in Africa which is led by Joseph Kony. This army kidnaps children and forces them to kill and mutilate other people, often including their own families. The Invisible Children organization has decided to start a campaign called Kony 2012 which aims to "make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."
You can visit their shop and purchase t-shirts, bracelets, posters, and even a starter kit to support this mission! It is so inspiring to live in a place where people are able to make change like this happen. 

FILM PHOTOGRAPHY // NISHE

These beautiful photos by Nishe make me want to pull out my film camera again! I can't stop looking at them. Lately I've been relying on photos I took a long time ago rather than getting out there and photographing the current things. Time to dust off my camera.

How do you stay inspired to keep your camera out?

SNAPSHOTS // CADBURY MINI EGGS & MOVIE NIGHTS

On Friday after school I got together with some of my close friends and we went out to dinner and then back to my friend Bethany's house for a movie night! She kicked her husband out of the house and us girls ate an embarrassing amount of candy, air-pop popcorn (post about that soon!), Trader Joes coconut cookies, and pumpkin muffins. We watched the movie "Hugo" (any of you seen it?) and it was beautiful! It was so well done and the story was really unique. It also didn't hurt that it took place in Paris. 

Side note: why in the world have I not been eating Cadbury eggs my whole life? I tried some for the first time on Friday and I haven't stopped eating them since! They are so, so, so good(!!)! 

Have you seen any good movies lately?
