Almost Done and Features

Hey guys How is everyone? I hope you're all doing well Sorry I've been neglecting dA again, school got crazy the last few weeks. I'm almost finished though, I had one final exam yesterday and I have another one next week and then I'm done! And I promise to go through all the deviations that have collected in my inbox soon, I'll probably go through some tonight, I do go through them every few days or so but I haven't gotten through all of them yet. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to go out shooting, go on any trips, or even edit much lately but I have some older photos to submit every once in awhile. I did however post some new photos on my facebook page, I'll post them here eventually but if you want to check them out now the link is there
And if you guys could take a few minutes to vote for SChildersPhotography here, I'd really appreciate it
Oh and I made a formspring account where you can ask me anything you want and I'll do my best to answer. If there are questions that are asked often or I think are relevant for this site, I'll add them to my F.A.Q. journal
Enough of my rambling How are you guys? Do you have any plans for the holidays?
Take care, and for all of those who are in the end of the semester and exam period, good luck!

Summer BreezeA soft wind gently,
Moves your hair above your eyes,
As flowers reach up hungrily,
Lifting petals to the sky
Sparkling laughter can be heard,
Both here, and over there,
As children in their element,
Are in motion everywhere
The moment is captivating
Glowing tendrils of sunlight,
Dance among the trees,
Bringing luster, beauty,
Even to the weeds
Everything so alive,
Everything so vibrant
Everything so divine,
And all, so electric
The moment is hypnotizing
As it should be
It is often taken for granted,
And missed, or forgotten
Often, sadly, it is ignored,
And the moment is gone, we've lost it
But the true wonder,
Is that it will come again,
So allow yourself to be swept away,
And let the summer breeze in
And then revel in that moment
jlp June 5, 2010 Fight BackI know they push you
and bend you
and break you
until you're not sure how you're still standing
but listen to me--
you're okay.
If there's one thing in this universe
I've come to realise
it's that we cannot let our world define us;
we have to define our world.
There will always be someone
to taunt you
and throw words sharper than sticks and harder than bones
straight to the heart of who you are
but they don't matter.
Do not let them win.
Be proud of who you are.
We are all human--
meant to shine in different ways,
do not let them stifle your light.
You are beautiful.
You matter more than you could ever know
and even though you feel
like dying
I'm begging you, please,
please,
do not give up. ShowersThe hot water washes away
All the fears and the tears
It washes away all my faults
And my imperfections
It cleanses me and I am whole
For a few short minutes
I am me and I am whole Reaching to the Clouds
I can only think of how much I wish I were in your arms,
Commenting on your body with my lips,
Kissing you blindly with my eyes closed,
All in perfect understanding of this thing called love.
I used to be afraid of the light in the dark,
Your lips on my arms.
The need rising constantly in my chest,
Little tells when you are near.
Now your voice feels like wind on my heart,
Your smiles sunlight to my skin,
Your promises dancing kisses by my ears,
But your love is the only one I will ever need.
