Wait, you are still in Indy right? I know I have kids so I probably seem... different. But let me tell you, based on that list we are A LOT alike. We should hang out. No pressure. But, you know. WE SHOULD.

@swonderful Erin, we REALLY should. Email me!

I was actually planning on doing something like this sometime this month...everyone is so human when they share these things. I don't doubt that it was also difficult to post this as well. Have you ever seen Rhianne's blog "For the Easily Distracted?" She posts lots and lots of analogue photos. She often talks about how she uses photos more than words, and how that makes her self-conscious of how she expresses things. Then, of course, she gets nervous to share certain photos as well. I think you're kind of in the same boat--photos are just as personal, just as expressive, as words can be. They are a part of you, a part of what you see and how you imagine the world, so criticism can be destructive. I hope you know that I--among with many others, I'm sure--greatly enjoy looking at your blog and seeing your adventures. Thank you for sharing these bits and pieces about yourself. I, too, sing to my cat. (Whether or not she likes it, I do not care.) And commitment? If only you knew... I hope that things are going well for you otherwise. Are you being let go from Wiley as well?

@Dawn thanks for your comment. And yes, I do believe photos are just as personal as words. Well, for me anyhow. And no, I didn't get let go. Things are changing around here though so I'm expecting it may be soon. I'm in good spirits!

I've really enjoyed reading this Anna, and I love knowing a bit more about you. We have a few things in common to many to number out but it's nice knowing these things touch home for you too. I know number 16 really stands out to me as we live no where near the ones we love. I have always loved popping over here to your blog and seeing what adventures you've been up lately. Your photography is such a good representation of how like really is which I love! The fact that you shoot photos as life as it is and not all dolled up to be something it's not. It makes you so unique and for me it's refreshing knowing that behind the lens of things you capture what's most important to you. Thank you for always sharing little pieces of your life with us. I'm sure it's not always easy to do but I know I'm so grateful for it. Have a wonderful day sweet lady :)

that was "how life (not like) really is" ;)

First of all, yes, you and Erin need to hang out and then I'm coming to hang out with you both! Second, I really fucking love this Anna! I'm going to do it too. I love you just the way you are!! :) xo
