happy new year:: highlights & hopes

Another year gone, a new one to come! Here's a little board of my 2010 highlights...
(Photographs taken with the Canon 5D Mark ii 28mm f/1.8; polaroid 400; & iPhone)






2010: HIGHLIGHTS
1. starting the year off with turning 25 in January. scary to do it w/o my twin sister with me, but excited for the adventure. celebrations in port angeles/seattle, wa with my little sister, and in big bear, ca with my beautiful besties. 
2. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oy Oy Oy! february-june took me to the ever beautiful, always wild, land down under, Australia. a highlight of my life, let alone 2010. a time of growth and unreal scenery, new friendships, new perspective, and new dreams, all worth more than gold. 
3. Jesse Thomas Photography! branding of my baby, my dream in the making! biggest risk I have taken, thus far! it's been a very quick, very challenging, and very life-giving process already. These early stages have allowed me a bit of space to paint my picture, to be inspired. I am so jazzed the possibilities next year brings. 
4. cooking and baking! i did more in this year than i ever have, not really sure why, but I am so glad. it is always such a creative outlet for me. 
5. family. this year welcomed loads of change to the Thomas crew. my twin sister & her fam continuing their journey in Australia, my younger sister & her husband getting stationed in Alaska this December, one of my brother's having his first son. . ! many sweet and precious memories were created this year, which i've tucked soo deeply in pocket so as to never lose them. the joys of a huge family. :) 


2011: HOPES
1. take more photos! personally, professionally, film, polaroids, digital, YES. i need to shoot more. and more, and more. 
2. dinner parties! i love hosting, i love decorating, i love cooking, dinner parties are the easiest fix for all of the above. 
3. get published! anyone interested? ;> 
4. take a trip! possibilities: alaska (!), australia (duh), singapore & cambodia (wow!), or the bahamas (purely R & R).
5. start & finish at least 1 creative photography project.
6. more sewing & calligraphy.
7. more dreaming. . . 




HAPPY 2011, EVERYONE.
