July 2012

similar interests

much like hair stylists, DJs, artists and musicians we photographers usually hang in the same environments so it’s no mystery as to how i have several pals that are into the same extracurricular activity as myself.
working my several jobs, being crafty at the art studio, getting in random pool time and hitting up the Atlanta party scene has been the gist of my July. though i haven’t gotten in a “real vacation” [YET] i have had many lil “get-away” weekends right here in my city-
and i’ve had friends around to capture some of the best times this month, via their similar interest,
photography.

pics shot by Dylan York for BurnAway at the Forward Warrior live-painting & auction. the event took place on July14th during the Old Forth Ward art stroll during which i was also shooting for Mint Gallery. 
another lil shout out to my girl Chelsea who featured works at the gallery-one of which was this cute 3D piece.
perhaps someday soon you too can have the pleasure of being captured digitally by one of these great photographers!

enjoy the last bit of July!

in the post I talk about how to create salon style nails with a few easy steps. my roommate and i combined nail polish forces and came up with this combination for her nails:

extending lines past nail bed onto skin and later clean off with a q-tip and polish remover will give your brushstroke a clean finish.
