 "Small Figures In a Vast Expanse"
-Rilo Kiley-

let's try a new change
let's try a new change
let's try a new change
then we'll go on back to the old one
like we've done so many times before

and i'll buy a new brain
i'll buy a new brain
you'll administer new pain
then we'll go on back to our old school
that we left so many times before

and you'll ask for more
and more

i've just begun a new phase
i'm trying these days
i've watched you close
i'm versed in all your ways
i'm just beginning to realize
i'll get you one of these days

but in the end
if it was all pretend
isn't that what friends are for?
but this is real life
it's supposed to be real life
so let's pretend that we're not bored
that we exist and that we're resolved
to real things happening to me




I wasn't actually thinking of this song when I did this photo... wasn't thinking anything really except that I wanted to show off my cool "new" outfit (I got it at the thrift store in June, lol).

I had 2 job interviews today. I walked out of the first, sleazy telemarketing.

I am begining to like skirts since the first time since I was 5... :)


Alternate edits... ONE DAY I WILL MASTER SELECTIONS... but not today

Very cute outfit! Did you jump really high? Whatever you did it is a great shot!

What a cool skirt! I like the other edits too. It's all very funky.

Your outtakes are interesting but this one is a knockout. Great use of negative space. It's hard to tell how you did this! It appears as if you are leaping high into the air. I love your expression, too.

I get the feeling here of "lost in space" (not the TV show). Your expression suggests seriousness. The size relative to the open space suggest openness and a sense of flight. Yet the shadow keeps you grounded. This is absolutely compelling.

The more I look at this shot the more I am fascinated by the movement and tensions within it.

Are you falling away from the viewer - or vertically ? Are you having a happy bounce or isolated in your solemnity ? You have a T-shirt that helps you blend into the background colour - but a skirt that doesn't . . .

I don't think I would say that I like the shot in an emotional sense, but it is an intriguing shot, and as I say in many ways a fascinating one. Good result.

p.s. I like the shot of your hair flying out. nice capture

love it. what i really love about it is that it almost looks like it could be a photo that would be posted in a little teeny bopper store in the mall... BUT... NOT REALLY becauuuuse your facial expression is so solemn and serious. i love that! i love the contradiction between your happy jumping action and your serious face. if you were smiling all cheesey, i probably wouldnt like this too much. anyways. good job :) (seen in the reaction club)

I agree with posthumous, it looks like it could be an album cover. Very cool (like the skirt too btw!) :)

Neat shot and great skirt! Hope the 2nd interview went better than the first!

The centered composition really works well here. It isolates the subject, and makes it seem very small and insignificant in the scheme of things.
