Canada

+ O Canada!

Thursday, September 05, 2013

For Labor Day Weekend my parents decided to drive to Rochester, NY to visit my sister. I honestly thought the 13-14 hour drive would be hell but it wasn't too bad. The route we took was very scenic with a lasting view of mountains and trees.

My mom had never been to Niagara Falls so we decided to go take a day trip to Canada. It's truly breathtaking in person and the boat ride on the Maid of Mist was wonderful. There was this moment on the boat when we were surrounded by the raging falls. We were immersed by the waterfall as if it were going to take us down under.

+ Tallulah Falls

Tuesday, August 27, 2013

In hopes of getting a good dose of Vitamin D, I decided to take a day trip this past weekend to Tallulah Gorge in North Georgia with some friends. The hike was about 3.5 miles and over 300 steps. Those steps only re-confirmed what I already knew-- I'm so out of shape. With a lot of sweat and maybe a tear or two, I was able to finish the hike with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. The best part was lunch with a breathtaking view overlooking the gorge. 



Dresses

+ Gazing Fashion

fashion + technology = (no)where (now)here

I came across this on The Creators Project's blog and have to say this is one of the coolest things I've seen. In the video below you'll see two models wearing dresses by designer Ying Gao. These dresses are made of "photoluminescent thread and embedded with eye-tracking technology" or in simpler terms they move--activated by the human gaze. The movements of the dresses are like jellyfish colonies drifting in the sea.

"Inspired by Paul Virilio's essay Esthétique de la disparition (The Aesthetic of Disappearance), the dresses were created by designer Ying Gao and are part of a new series (No)where (Now)here which explores the idea of absence."

+ Uncertainty

A feeling of uncertainty.

I'll be graduating from college this year like many of my friends and peers. We'll go through a stage of doubt, anxiety, depression, or excitement about what's to come ahead. We'll be applying to plethora of jobs hoping to get at least one response or an interview.

I don't know how to describe what I feel. I have my fears about the future, but also knowing that I have other options makes me somewhat optimistic. 


This feeling of uncertainty has been the most certain thing in my life right now at this very moment.
