Confessions of a Shopaholic ( In Wide Screen )

"You know that thing when you see someone cute and he smiles and your heart kind of goes like warm butter sliding down hot toast? Well that's what it's like when I see a store. Only it's better. "

"A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store. If a man doesn't fit, you can't exchange him seven days later for a gorgeous cashmere sweater. And a store always smells good. A store can awaken a lust for things you never even knew you needed. And when your fingers first grasp those shiny, new bags... oh yes... oh yes. "

"Does your heart quicken when you see new merchandise in neatly stacked piles? "

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself." - Amelia Earhart

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue

I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —

And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

— John Gillespie Magee, Jr

The most effective way to do it, is to to do it. - Amelia Earhart

{I was going to title this: "photoshop frustration." I had a beautiful collage of several photos for our theme this week, "cinematic photography" but because I was having photoshop issues I couldn't upload them. Here are only a few from a shoot I did in May titled "Lillian."}
