Silent Disco





I had never heard of a silent disco before i met our, now dear, british friends who introduced the idea to our little island of nantucket. Check out the concept, very cool- basically everyone wears a set of headphones and there are 2 stations, A and B with 2 seperate DJ's playing on each station and you can switch back and forth between the two. basically everyone is dancing but it looks all crazy because people are listening to different music. Since nantucket is so small and at times there are limited 'going out spots, deciding between slip 14, straight wharf and toby's- agh i am being close minded, there are plenty of bars but are they really all that fun? (no)- this silent disco threw a wrench in the nantucket night life that must have had the white panted, pearl necklaced women appauled. But I suppose anything that doesn't involve sipping veueve cliquot at the boarding house with a shawl draped over our backs is appauling. OK_ i'll stop hating now- i am not usually one to be judgemental but sometimes being on nantucket its tough not to be- i always wonder if these rich women really actually carry nantucket lightship baskets (or faux) around on the mainland- i certainly have never seen one. ANYWAY- this silent disco was a success, very fun and i took photos at it- although the flash died in the beggining i managed to get some shots- :)

So i'll just come out and say it, i fell off the blogging band wagon as soon as my summer began and now that is nearing its end, i have a fighting vengeance to start back up again! My summer was impossibly busy, little to no moments spent alone, which is not necessarily a bad thing, however, my blog truly suffered. Blogging shouldn't be something that I do just when it is convenient, what does that say about me? I feel terrifically terrible how neglectful i have been with my poor little bloggy blog- but don't worry i am back, and i am back for good.
This blog began as a fashion blog (somewhat embarrassing looking back, but what can ya do) and now that i've had a euphoric moment that made me come to the realization that fashion is far from the thing that i am most passionate about, this blog has turned into something that i am truly, utterly and fantastically passionate about- photography. I wont say that i was being naive when i chose apparel design as something that i want to pursue but yet i was young and very unexperienced. I had an idea that i would be designing my own rad outerwear ski and snowboard apparel the way that I wanted to but the closer and closer graduation comes, the more and more i realize how that is really not the case. Even if it was, i don't know if i would truly enjoy doing that every day of my life- i thought it was, i truly believed it was but when I found photography it made me realize that there was something that you could ACTUALLY really love doing and want to do every free, spare moment that you get. Taking pictures doesn't get any better for me, i love it, i thrive to get better at it and i just want to be surrounded by it at all times.
Point is, I'm back, i might need to change the title of my blog however- it doesnt make much sense anymore-- :)
