Warmth from a glass on the rocks
Liquid Bronze
The harsh reality of the day rattles my nerves.
My mind runs a mile a minute making the day slow and my body heavy.
The hand on the time clock seems like eternity waiting to strike five.
I know in harsh sun, the thunderous rain, and the bitter cold it waits.
I open the door and look to bar where it sits waiting.
The bronze color seduces me.
I grab a glass and fill it with ice to the rim.
I pour letting it coat the ice cubes with its flavor.
The first sip slaps me in the face bring me back to life.
The second sip fills my body with warmth make the pain melt away.
The smooth smokey flavor that lingers on my palette between sips.
It never asked for anything just listens as I hold it.
No matter the situation it always has time to comfort me.

Alone in a new house.
Buying your first house is always an exciting and terrifying time in any bodies life. We found a house at the end of a dead end road in a quiet town. The house flooded during hurricane Irean so we bought it for a steal. We found a diamond in the rough, a four bedroom, one and a half bath with a full basement and half an acre of land with a shed. We moved in shortly after closing, a blank canvas to do what we will.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
