A few months ago I came across this song by Jon Schmidt. I then looked up a few other songs by him, and I was completely amazed. Then I happened to come across his youtube channel. [it's not *just* his channel] And from there, I just kind of kept going. For a while I wanted to stop piano, the music was getting harder and I didn't want to sit down and learn it all. But then I heard this  [by the way, that is my favorite song by him <3] song, and I was kind of like "Ah! I have to keep playing!" So here is one of my favorite video's Jon Schmidt has done. I suggest you listen to it, it's pretty amazing. [He is accompanied by Steven Sharp Nelson in most of his songs.]

                 


                                      And if you have a few minutes, go listen to these..
                                                          Rolling in the deep
                                                            Linus and Lucy
                                                    Michael Meets Mozart <<< [<3]

I love shooting during golden hour, but nobody ever wants to pose for me or do hair flips. Rachel wanted to yesterday, so I took a few pictures of her, but they ended up turning into"oh, lets make faces and stomp on ant hills and have fire ants crawl up our feet" pictures. [by the way, I'm in the middle of redesigning my blog, so if things look weird...]

:P accidental shot

            aha. ignore my expression. I was trying to mimic Jack Sparrow and failed miserably.
