Crazy Little Thing

"And wuv, true wuv, will fowow you foweva... So tweasure your wuv..." -The Princess Bride

Maybe it's the one that got away.

Maybe it's your pet.

Maybe it's your grandmother

                 your brother,

                 your aunt,

                 that celebrity,

                 your boyfriend,

                 that kid in chemistry you really like,

                 or your best friend.

Love is unknown and known at the same time.

Love is imperfect and perfect.

Love is the best thing and the worst.

Love is ugly and infuriating 

                     and frustrating 

                     and makes you want to scream 

                     and cry.

But love is love and once you find it, it's almost impossible to let go.

Throwback: My Name...

Sarah Jane Kriebel

My parents always liked simple things. They liked old-fashioned names. At the time, they had a dog named Abigail and they thought the name was nice and simple, but having two "Abby"s in the house would have gotten pretty confusing. My mom liked the name Emily, but my dad absolutely hated it. So they finally settled on Sarah... with an 'H'. My middle name, Jane, I think came from my father's Aunt Jane and they loved the simplicity of "Sarah Jane".
My first name means "princess" in Hebrew and my last name comes from the Middle High German word "Krieger" which manes "warrior" or "soldier". But in some cases it comes from the Middle High German word "Kriege" which means "obstinate".

If I had to give myself a name, it would be "Mary Poppins" so I could be practically perfect in every way. :)

Tomasz Gudzowaty

This is by far my favorite Tomasz Gudzowaty photographs because I love the whole series of swimmer photographs but the perspective and contrast of this one are really incredible. Most people would never think to take an underwater photo with that worm's eye point of view.

Selfie with my pup

Alfred Eisenstaedt

This is my favorite photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt because Walt Disney is such an inspiration to me and his characters shaped my childhood and made me the person I am today.

I call this one "The Great Fall".

Here are my photos showing the 8 aspects of composition... They're not the best but I think they're pretty cool.

My weekends...

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz is a portrait photographer who has taken some of the most iconic photos for Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. She has has the opportunity to work with such legends as John Lennon in one of the most famous photographs of him that was taken just hours before her was killed. This is one of my favorite Leibovitz photos, not only because of the amazing photo that was so controversial at the time, but also just the fact that Leibovitz was the last person to professionally photograph John Lennon. That just creates such an interesting story.
