a day with tam and the streets

Tam

I tend to wander the streets a lot whenever I have free time in between my classes. The streets hustle with life and I can't help but have this passion to shoot and document life in its purest most truest form. I have always wanted to take my photography to the streets but I could never pluck up the courage to do so. 

Tam and I roamed the streets after a filling lunch and with our cameras in our hands, we took pictures of strangers. There is something quite comforting about having another person by your side shooting with you. My fear of shooting street photography slowly disappeared as the day went by.

wishing well

I spent one of my Friday nights sitting on the living room floor making floral crowns to bring to life a flower child I had dreamt up in one of my many daydreams. The next morning I chose to shoot rather than write my psychology report and that night, I chose the stay home and review through the hundreds of photos I had  taken rather than spend my night on a crammed dance floor with my peers. 
Either I'm growing up too fast and skipping my wild, young adult life or I'm not growing up at all and living my life with the imaginative mindset of a child. I'd like to think I'm the latter. I don't ever want to grow up.

On one of the few warm mornings of April, I met a beautiful young girl with flaming hair and eyes so far beyond her years. I snapped some wonderful photos of her before heading off to my morning classes.
