developed: a photo dump!

happy monday! this weekend, once again tom and i had the most magical day surfing. the sun was out, the water was actually pretty warm and we both got a bit sun kissed, it was marvelous. it was actually hard to get off our blanket in the sun. well, any who, we finally finished up the roll of film from our new underwater camera!

i think i was a mermaid in another life. me + sea + sun + waves = love.

this is the closest picture of me surfing, it is super hard to capture when we are both going for a wave but one day!

beach bum style!

yerp, that's me, floating like a little buoy in some of the sharkiest coast line... but really im in 3ft water

im pretty awesome at body surfing

yes, that is a box of pizza that we brought with us to the beach. you know your jealous.

 

 

 we did bring our digital camera with us and i wanted to share my favorite one.... so just a little behind this picture if you are wondering what the hell i am doing. there is no shower or hose at this beach so if you want to wash off you have to bring your own water. we found this coleman cooler at the thrift store and we fill it up with hot water and it is the perfect shower after a long surf session!

 we are pretty stoked that the film came out. i just love film, don't you?

sometimes i....

>>> want to scream at the top of my lungs

>>> want to dance on bart and not give a hoot

>>> live off the grid, move somewhere super remote and get lost

>>> want to go on a year long road trip around the states

>>> work 24/7 on my artwork

>>> want a leather fringe jacket, even when tom says no

>>> want to start a family

>>> want to renovate a barn into a loft like studio, thanks tumblr :)

>>> want to live on a farm, have a few chickens and a bunch of fruit trees

>>> wish were a cat, so i could sleep in front of the heater all day, and basically, rule the world

this weekend was a bit stressful. the government is not my friend and again for the second year in a row we are owe but i am still working on them to bring that number down. i am hopeful. we attempted to go surfing friday morning only to be a few miles from the beach and the rack, boards and cooler, just flew off the bug and crashed on the road. the rack was demolished. we were stranded on the side of the road until tom's dad, who has a truck, came to our rescue. it could have be waaay worse and we are grateful that both boards are still in one piece. they are in the shop getting repaired from the damages. it was just blow after blow and we did our best to rectify our moods. not every weekend can be magical and you deal with it the best way you can. thanks tamara for the inspiration for this post, sometimes when you have such high emotions it kinda feels good to write a list like this.

in other news, a received some really awesome & supportive comments on my last post regarding cayce's tattoo. the best being from mallory who mentioned me becoming a tattooist. my mind has been turning ever since i read her comment. since tom and i have known each other tom has always wanted to tattoo but other things have came up, like going to college and getting degrees. it hasn't been till lately that the idea of him getting a machine and learning has resurfaced. we talk about it casually that he would tattoo and i would help with design but i never thought about tattooing myself, not that i didn't want to but it just never crossed my mind..... i have been on a journey to find out what part of the art world to call home and designing tattoo's has been the closest to that feeling....now to dive in a bit further and truly find out.
