create something beautiful

I went clicking through a bunch of random blogs last night, just for the heck of it and came across a few I’ll be sure to bookmark. They have pictures and paragraphs that say what I’ve thought or felt about so many things, but never said out loud or been able to capture. Or they’re otherwise, just great. Here are a few:

“2 1/2-months-to-new-year’s-resolutions resolutions

Not so normal resolutions at a not so traditional time.

Goals, aims, things to do, things to not do, all with as little words as possible. You might agree, you might disagree, you might relate, or you might not.

This is no art. It’s a piece of fun, with a pinch of seriousness, but some of you seem to like it anyway.”

Get into it. I am. 100%.

I made this last Friday for our weekly Freebie Friday giveaway. And today I noticed it had been linked to on Confessions of a Casting Director (where we got the AH-mazing shirt from)!!

LOVE IT!
I wish I could find graphics I’ve made linked to on other sites!

With the death of Polaroids on the horizon, more and more people seem to be becoming nostalgic for the ancient discolored little instamatic images. And I’m completely ok with that. I’ll be the first to admit I wish I’d hopped on the trend before it became campy cool to carry around an SX-70 to parties. Now I just feel like a bit of a tool doing so and instead bring mine around to places like the beach or random camping trips (images to follow someday from my current forays into the use of various slightly vintage film cameras of varying formats).

Today I stumbled across another Polaroid-focused blog that I’m now in love with and just have to share. It’s called Tokyo Polaroids and I have no idea what the rhyme or reason behind the site is since it’s all in Japanese. The only explanation I can find is the tagline up top “Five polaroids are better than four.” But I do know there are some pretty great shots on here, a lot of them involving cats oddly enough. And I can’t wait to check back on the site periodically to see what new images they update it with.

Then of course there’s My Polaroid Blog, which I already fell in love with several months ago because of her oh so pretty, dreamy images she manages to capture.

*Sigh*
So many pictures of Paris. It makes me want to go back desperately.

I saw this photo on ffffound and I like it very much.

Good night.
