week in instagram v

((l-r)) wildflowers//bonfires with friends// #tbt to my hippie childhood//good morning kitty//haircut//supermarket supermodel

yet another week of instagram! follow me @shay_brod for more.

I apologized for my spotty posting and commenting, I've been in an inspiration rut. It's weird, not being in the city and having a supply of friends to take pictures of whenever, or a new alley or park to explore everywhere I turn. I'm trying to to rediscover familiar pavements, but it takes time. I'm going to try and catch up on comments and stuff soon though! 

may flowers

hey guys! Without further ado, here's May in review!

May was a crazy month. I had finals, said good bye to my life in the city, and moved back home after completing my first year of college. I've spent the time at home looking for a job (a challenge when you have no car and live in a college town, ho hum) and working on some personal projects.

so much has been going on, I apologize for the absence! Hopefully blogging again soon xx

we are strong.

Boston is my home.

I never want to hear sirens rip through the city the way I did, echoing loudly and reverberating on buildings. I don't want to think about all the people I handed water out to earlier as they ran in the marathon, realizing they could be dead.  I don't want to have to message all of my friends frantically, wondering if they had decided to go to the finish line after all, and I don't want to have to enter a quiet lounge with the news blaring about missing limbs and terrorism. Ever. Again.

No one should ever have this happen to their city.
(please keep all the marathon runners, spectators, first responders, family, and city residents in your prayers tonight)

we are all too young to die

 

A couple of pictures from last Friday. My friend A was home for Phoenix, and we went out for Thai food. Somehow, we ended up driving around taking pictures and chatting. It was so good seeing her. 

On another note, I just downloaded a free demo for Nik software, and I'm totally in love! Anyone who knows their way around photoshop should check it out. I apologize for the difference in tones, colors, etc, in these pictures-I couldn't help but try all the filters. 

hope everyone has a wonderful week xx
