Travel Ahead!

Just found out I'm going to Thailand and Dubai!!! More to come soon :)!

New Web Site

My newest website focuses on my love of photographing street art around the world. Updates will be added on a per project basis, but I have a cool selection on there right now.

Really happy with it: http://shiraphotos.carbonmade.com

It's been a long time...Random dribbbles

I have all but abandoned my blog, for reason's I don't know. I enjoy writing and posting pictures and sharing stories of things that have happened, but a blog sometimes feel's like a diary, and I don't keep diaries anymore. I guess it's kinda what Talulah Bankhead said, "good girls keep diaries, the bad one's don't have time." Just kidding, I'm far from a 'bad one,' but I guess I just haven't had a lot of time lately to write. Which is weird, because I read all the time, probably 3-4 books a week...I guess that just show I enjoy reading more than writing. The Story of Junk by Linda Yablonsky was a really eerie, first-hand account of a heroine addict-great book. A lighter tale, but warming to the heart was The Mermaid's Chair by Sue Monk Kidd...a fictional story about love, loss and what life is all about. Let's see then there is all the chick lit I read for fun when I don't get to catch up on my girly tv shows, I supplement it with those haha.

I guess I never realized how much I enjoyed reading, or maybe I took it for granted. I think people just assume if you like to read you also like to write, but reading is much easier. It's someone else's thoughts on paper, giving you the freedom to let your mind wonder. Maybe I will start writing reviews on the books I've read....or maybe not. I should have wrote entries for all the amazing trips I took this summer, but it was hard for me to put in words. I'll upload some pictures soon (my computers to slow to do it right now), since i always seem to better express myself through photos =)

Paris Photos...Voila!

Paris was interesting....scenic and demure, but at the same time full of pushy panhandlers...gotta see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Louve (even though they are a bit touristy). Amazing baguette sandwiches, crepes and croissants everywhere. Go for the food and the scenery, overlook some of the people hahahaha

Mas Pictures of Madrid!

Viva Madrid!

Madrid is an amazing city.....churros and chocolate, tortilla, gazpacho, sangria and more types of tapas than I can list! The city really comes alive at night, but the architecture and the vibe of the city is felt all day through =)
