create something beautiful

I can’t even begin to describe how many times I’ve wanted to be able to Apple / Ctrl-Z my life. This is genius.

Light up my heart?

I’ve always thought that the idea of a promise ring was pretty dumb, but when I saw this, I changed my mind. Promising your virginity or that you’ll someday actually make a real commitment and get properly engaged - dumb. Just holding a promise engraved close to you - actually pretty sweet.

Dear St. Tropez Leisure,
I’m obsessed with your Camera Print Swimsuit with Adjustable Straps. This bathing suit is too cute. I know, I know. I like it because it has a camera on it, a screenprinted camera nonetheless. It’s beautiful and perfect and sooooo me. But far too expensive for my budget even if that price was in dollars, not pounds!

Someday St. Tropez, someday.

Love,
Kelly

I love Jennifer Squires’ beautiful, simple photos and her devotion to earth-friendly business practices. She has an Etsy store which sells pretty pictures of flowers, food items, and scenic views - most all of them shot using natural light with no fancy computer manipulation necessary to achieve images you’d gladly hang on your wall or place on your desktop. I kind of feel like each photo makes me feel calm and really hope I can achieve such a feeling with my photos in the future. Not only that, but as she states on her website, she makes every stride possible reduce her environmental impact by taking steps such as using using natural lighting as much as possible, using recycled stationary when she must send by snail mail, but making every effort to do her business online instead, using digital image proofs rather than contact sheets and chemicals, etc. Check out her website here to see her advertising portfolio and read about how she strives to save the world with every photograph she takes, and visit her Etsy store, where you can buy photoprints like these:
