X-treme CAMRAVN

I like their style! ;) I shot this with my cellphone while i was a passenger in my own car on a road trip. Another reason to drive instead of fly: you might just see a van made out of vintage cameras! If you see any cameras you recognize, please list them in the comment thread of this post! I'd like to see how many camera models we can name on this one van! Thanks! :)

reintroductions are in order

hello, my name is wrecklessgirl. i am a girl of wreckless nature. the following thoughts swim around in my head, reminding me of who i want to be. this is not a poem or a self-help manual--rather, little prayers to deal with the battles that i struggle to fight everyday.

i implore you: be wreckless.
give little weight to fear. focus on your breath.
walk away unscathed.
when you are convicted to do so, take a chance. no, take chances! as many as you are able. as many as you are even unable. live with your whole heart.
nevermind the naysayers. and if you can't possibly ignore the naysayers, simply prove them wrong with your lifestyle.
challenge mainstream ideas, practices, and values, realizing that a great valley lies between challenge and disrespect. remember there is nothing wrong with you if you find yourself alone in your own ideas practices, and values. you are a free-thinker. reinvent the standard.
chin up.
eyes wide-open. i mean, WIDE. don't overlook a single thing. in fact, over-look every single thing.
open up, that you may appreciate. err on the side of over-appreciation, lest you grow bitter.
be balanced: invite both the frightening and the fantastic in with equal measure.
be open to opportunity--even if it is disguised as misfortune.

i'll leave you with an amy seeley tweet that i saw this morning: 'don't wait . the time will never be just right . ' - n. hill



photo by my twin-friend gina. i'm going to take one of the aforementioned "chances" and risk getting killed by gina by saying-- maybe if you're nice and beg her, she'll let you know where to find her beyond-amazing, to-die-for italian photoblog. just sayin'.

AWAY WE GO

Away We Go was a phenomenal movie. Just sayin. :) Go see it in theaters before it goes away or rather...Away goes it.

Also, Alexi Murdoch's music is threaded throughout the entire film, for which I couldn't be more grateful.

You'll have to go over to the movie's website to watch the trailer or watch it on youtube here.

[ Marfa Trip - III ] on Red, Whites, and Getting the Blues

More from the Marfa Trip experience in honor of the fourth of July dedicated to all those who have fought for our freedom and civil liberties and rights.

Survery Says...

Yep, it's that time of year when I annoy you with a quiz. I've been so curious lately...what the heck is it that you are wanting to see when you stop by my blog or get the feed in your readers?

I created a little quiz here in this post (forgive me if it doesn't show up in rss feed readers, you'll just have to click on over to this blog to take part in the questionnairing). I created a general list of fun answers, but pretty please let me a comment in this blog post letting me know what you want to be seeing here on this blog in the upcoming fall and winter. I'm excited to see your answers! As usual, feel free to be honest. You can even shoot me a personal email if needed.

[ Marfa Trip - II ]
