Wow! Thank you to everyone who has commented on my new set and/or sent me messages and love! I really appreciate it! Im glad everyone likes my set so much! Its a great way to welcome the new month and a great way to wake up!

Inida is still wonderful! The monsoon has finally started so its cooled down a bit but now its humid and hot! When it rains here it really rains! Ive never seen it rain like this! The streets flood and sewers spill but then it stops and the sun comes out and everything goes back to normal! haha! I just love it here and dont really want to leave ever!

So all around I am happy! My new set is doing well, India is great, Im getting used to traveling with someone, Im going home for a visit soon and I finally have a plan for the month of August! Its all looking up and looking good!

Im hoping to shoot a few sets when I get back to Portland too! I need to email the photographers I want to work with and see if they will be around. I really hope it works out!

The only thing I am a little bummed about is that I cant find a computer that will let me upload photos! Im trying really hard to get them up to show you but it just wont work!! Im starting to get a little pissed about it but in the scheme of things its not a big deal. Ill have them soon I hope!

So I wish I had more to tell you and time to write. You can always check my regular blog as I update that a little more often and thoroughly!

So India just gets better and better!!! I saw the Taj a few days ago at dawn. I missed the sunrise officailly but there werent a lot of people when I got there so it was still really nice. I have to say the Taj is one of the most beautiful place I have ever seen! And its really small inside.... I never would have guessed!



I am now in a small town in the West called Pushkar. Its my paradise! Its a holy city so the whole place is vegetarian and there is no alcohol allowed! I love it! Everything is super cheap. I found a wonderful place to stay just outside the old city for only Rs150 which is just over $3. Its hot as hell but I still love it. The hotel has a pool with turtles to swim in but Im too scared they will eat my toes to get all the way in. Haha.

Its really nice to be in a place where I can just relax. I dont feel like I need to do anything and I can just enjoy myself for a few days.

I have tons of pictures to upload but the computers here are like dinosaurs so Ill have to wait. Sorry. I know you want to see....


Proof! haha!

Anyway. Im going to try to update often but it might get tricky.

Remember, I still have a new set in MR! I really hope it goes live soon. Otherwise my trip might be ending sooner than planned! haha! Just kidding!

Hope everyone is doing well! And thank you so much for the comments you have already left me! Im trying my best to thank everyone but its difficult! So please be patient and know that I do appreciate every word!

sorry youll have to copy and paste because this computer is crazy old and wont let it link for some reason... oh india....


Also, I saw the Taj Mahal at 6am this morning! Could be the most amazing sight I have ever seen! The sky was perfect, not too many people, not too hot.... The white marble and Indian dresses are a perfect match!!

Ill have those pictures soon. But for now, enjoy Delhi and part of Agra!null


And remember my set is still in MR!! Go tell me what you think!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left me such wonderful comments and messages! It was great waking up this morning in Delhi to over 400 comments! Im really glad all of you like the set as much as I do! I would really like to thank each of you individually but its just not possible now. So please accept my thanks in mass until further notice!!!

Lets all remember to thank Augenblicke for such wonderful photos!!!

As for an update on my life.... Well, Ive made it to India! I love it here except its crazy and miserable hot right now. I have found the people to be extreamly helpful and kind. There have been a few exceptions but overall its been great! Im off to Agra tomorrow to see the Taj and then Im not sure what.

I do have some bad news though. I lost a bunch of things from my bag at the airport! Including the carger for my camera! So now I am without a camera! I have a polaroid and a film camera but Im going to try to find a replacement quick so I can share everything with you!

thanks again for all the wonderful support!!

So Im staying up all night, again, so that I can make my flight in the morning. I know me too well and I know that if I try to sleep I wont get up in time so Im just playing on the internet instead!

Im off to London in the morning and then catching my flight to Delhi in the evening! Im so excited about getting to India and eating tons of great food!

On that note, I want to remind everyone that I will be there for roughly two months and wont have easy access to the internet at times. So if you send me a message or friend request or anything and you dont hear back from me right away, that is why. Its not that I have forgotten you!

I have a set going up in MR on the 18th! Its so soon and just after I arrive to Delhi and I know that Im just going to want to search for internet access to see how its going!! I hope you all like it!

Augenblicke and I got together while he was visiting Europe last month and shot this set in the heart of Prague! It was fun and relaxing and all together a nice experience. I will thank you all in advace for all your kind words and comments!

Alright kids! So I wanted to let everyone know that I will be leaving for India tomorrow morning!

Im not really sure what the next two months will hold for me but it should be fun.

Anyway, I dont know how often I will be able to check this so if you send me a message or anything and I dont get back to you right away, please dont take it personally!

I will do my best to keep up with everything and to update and post pictures when I can!

If your really interested in what Im up to you can read my official blog. I will be updating that more often and that is where you can find most of my pictures.

Dont have too much fun without me SG!!

So its 2pm and I havent slep. i am trying to get myself back onto a normal sleep schedule. Hopefully staying up all this time will help! Anyway, fogive me and my frantic attempt at a blog. Lack of sleep kind of sends me into a frenzy...

There are so many things that I am happy and excited about I can hardly contain myself! Im just gong to make a list because I dont think my brain can handle writing out complete and coherent thoughts!

1, I have 20 pages left of LOTR! Oh yes, yes, yes! Its kind of warping my mind a little bit because I want to sayy things like "smote" all the time.

The books are so very different from the movies and its lame. So much of the story was changed for the movies! I not just talking about little things either. So lame.

I hate to admit it but I still like the movies, I just wish that they had stuck with the real story and hadnt warped some of the characters personalities....

But the books! Its where its at!

2, I finally bought my ticket it India!!! I leave on the 16th and will arrive in Delhi at 11am on the 17th! A huge weight has been lifted now that I have my ticket and I know that I will be there soon!

I get to see my partner for the fist time in six months when I arrive too! Its going to be fucking weird and great. So yes. In 10 days I will be in India!!!



3, Ive been staying with Denie again in Brno. We have been having a great time watching too many movies and eating ourselves stupid. Good times! She is sleeping right now and its cute.... I wish I had a picture to share with you. haha.

We have watched something like eight movies since I got here Wednesday evening. We went dancing the other night too.

4, I punched some guy at the disco for pinching my ass. I am extreamly pleased. There have been way too many times that I dont react and feel like shit for it later but not this time.

5, I have two sets that are ready to be submitted to either MR or Staff Review. Im not sure where they are going yet and Im just waiting on one so I know what to do with the other! I like them both and I think you will too!!!!

6, Now that I have a ticket to India I need to start thinking about Berlin! I want to go and spend a few days seeing the city and shooting a set or two. I just need to find a place to stay and I think everything will work itself out! With any luck I will be there from the 10th to the 16th. Then I fly to London and on to Delhi!!!

7, I think Im going home to Portland for the month of September! I really hope it all works out and I can go! I miss my friends and my mom and grandmother so much these days. There would be so many people to see and thinks to do! If I can go, I am hoping to make a trip to Seattle to see friends and maybe a quick trip to Vancouver to shoot a set with Cherry (if she will have me!). There a tons of folks on the East Coast Im itching to see too so with any luck I can fly out there for a few days too!

8, My hair is getting long and therefore big. I like it.

9, Brooklyn is talking about meeting up with me in SE Asia in the fall! She wants to shoot some sets! I could be really into that.

Thats not everything I am happy about but some of it!

Now Im hungry and Im going to go hunt for pickles in the kitchen.....

Yay! I think Im getting better at this whole video blog update thing....

What do you think?

This also goes on my official blog so that is why I am talking to my mother and grandmother directly for a moment. And to clarify, Jake is my partner from Portland....

Alright! Pictures of my new tattoo! We can all thank Turbulence for the pictures. He was going crazy with the camera the whole time!



The last one is from my crappy camera....

But yeah. Its all crusty already and will look really different because we had to shave some of my hair.

I really like it!!!

Here is an extra picture of my tattoo and my cleavage!

Some things just need to be shared! This video is defiantly one of them....



So yeah, I got a new tattoo and everyone really wants to see it but Im not sure if I want to post pictures yet because its going to look VERY different later. Besides, it hasn't exactly gotten the best response.... I like it and that's what matters but most people think a face tattoo is too far.

I will tell you, its trill spots, yeah like star trek, on my right temple and down past and behind my ear. The spots will be very faint and in my hair line once its healed an my hair grows back. So dont freak out. Thats pretty much what all my friends are doing right now.

I may post pictures in a few days but in the mean time Ill show you what it is based off of.





If your really dying to see it, just let me know and Ill post pictures sooner.
