Meet the Lytro.

This is the most BAD-ASS thing to happen to photography since the world went digital. It’s a promise this will be in my hands soon, it’s due time for a new toy!

Passionate kisses fall like rain upon my face. I heed them not… fingers caress me - yet I maintain my posture of indifference. Admiring glances are cast in my direction… and question as to my identity - but I heed then not… nothing can disturb my calm. Why should it? I am - a photograph.

This is one of my favorite pictures of all time, if not THE favorite. I got it inked on my ribs a few months ago. I still haven’t gotten around to taking a picture of it. My tattoo means a lot to me, especially right now. I think it’s time to break out of my shell. I wish I knew the context of this photo or at least the photographer, or even the girl. I changed the face on my tattoo, people think it looks like me; they are probably true. Blah… I sound like an 18 year old and look like I’m 68 (I have hot curlers in my hair). I’m channeling my inner flapper.

If your nose itches you will soon be kissed by a fool.

My family takes out their anger and frustrations on each other. They are only content when they are alone. Each one of them are the same. They bring out the worse in each other. They bring out the worse in me. I see where I get it from. This I must change.

I remember being a young girl; one hot summer evening a cricket got into the garage. My mother chased it around with a broom in her hand trying to sweep it outdoors. She used to tell me it was very bad luck to kill a cricket but good luck when it enters your home. I have always wondered if that cricket shortly died after it left our home.

My mother and her mother would always refuse to be photographed. I would beg and beg but now I also refuse politely. My passion lies on the other side of a camera. In many cultures, the word for photographer translates as ‘shadow catcher’, ‘soul taker’, or ‘face stealer’. I am all of the above.

For many, many years I was convinced I broke my mother’s back because I stepped on a crack. When I was a teenager she use to tell me it was my fault. My mistake. A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end. My mistake again.

Please, always, always listen to your mother.

The original Mad Man. The dynamic between men and women has always been the same. Women have always had the power. “We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.” -Zelda Fitzgerald Even Zelda, that pioneered and embodied the pure essence of a flapper, had memories of advertisements. I would argue that it was her generation that were first diluted and enthralled by the world of marketing. I’m sure you are aware that Zelda was F. Scott’s muse but what you probably don’t know is that he published a lot of her work under his name. She was so brilliant but like most women in those days, lived too passionately; She spent most of her adult life committed to lunatic asylums. As much as I dream of living through the roaring twenties, I would have surely been committed once the great depression came a-knocking.

The most perfect wedding ring! LOVE<3 I use to carry a tiny ‘veiwmaster’ every where with me with a picture of my grandfather in it. It was a tiny cone shape. You could get them at large amusement parks back in the day. I wonder what they are called… I also use to have a tiny cube that hung on a necklace and when you lifted it up to the light and looked inside, there was a picture of *NSYNC.  I think this blog will surely bring out the dorky-ness that is Linda Marie that only a few people get to see. I hope y’all come to adore me. Sincerely. <3 Inspired by the Stanhope of the 19th century, Luke Jerram designed this Viewmaster-like ring for his wife. It contains tiny slides and a lens for projecting photos of the two! Photo-Projecting Wedding Ring
