Photography has given me a way to see things from a different angle. However i wanted someone to see the object i was photographing, that is how i shot the picture. But there's a lot of people who have inspired me over the years, and taught me a lot about both life, and how to go about living in it.
People That Have Inspired Me That I Would Like To Thank :
~Matt .. oh boy do we know how to have fun. life throws things at us sometimes, but we push through it all. we have gotten really close over this past summer, and i am really grateful to have found such an amazing friend and boyfriend in you. you are an amazing person, and you deserve a lot, if you set your mind to it, i'm sure that good things will come to you. You honestly are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and i thank you so much for being there for me all the time.
~Athena & Jessie - you two are like sisters to me, and even though we all have our little disagreements sometimes i know that when i need someone i can count on you girls. I know that you both have been by my side thru things that have been really hard to go thru and i thank you for being there for me when i really needed someone to give me a shoulder to cry on.
~Christina has taught me that sometimes you find the girls that you can act crazy with and they still love you, and you don't have to be best friends with all the right people to be happy, you just need to find the friends who love you because you are how you are. I know that if i need help with something that she will have my back, and i love that about her as well as many other things. She is an amazing friend, and i feel very lucky to be friends with her, and i love how close we have gotten over the last year.
~Alex has taught me that sometimes people change, and even though you may hate your family for so long, you can still change that because they are your family. You're stuck with them no matter what. Cousins by blood. Friends by choice. Sisters by heart ♥ I know that I can always talk to you and you make me see some of the things I often overlook. I know that we can be there for each other, and i love that about us, thank you so much for being the sister i always wanted, but never got.
~Rachel you have taught me that even though friends can get on your nerves sometimes, the best kind of friend is someone that will stay with you through everything that you go through no matter how little or big. we drive each other crazy sometimes and i am so thankful to be able to be friends with you, you have helped me through so much, and even though you annoy me sometimes, you are a great friend.
~Lindsay and Renee both have taught me that sometimes people that you don't like because of your friends can become some of the funnest people to be around. and they are always gonna have you back (: You girls have made this past year amazing, i loved hanging out in Quebec with you both, and i love how you both can be there and be supportive when i need someone to talk to.
~Ben has taught me that sometimes the person that you need most is the one you used to look to for a good day, or some laughs. the one that has been able to make you smile for years. and the one that you always looked to for advice when it all went wrong. We have been really good friends for a long time, since 2nd grade, and although he refuses to accept it, he has made a huge impact on my life, and how i see things. -look at the stars ; look how they shine for you. and everything you do.
~Tortora has taught me that there will always be someone there to make you laugh when everyone else turns their back on you. it may be someone you don't notice at first, but they will become really important to you quickly. He is always there when i need him, and he can always make me laugh. He lets me take the cheese of his nachos at lunch, and i appreciate that. He is an amazing friend and i am so grateful to be friends with him.
~Katie. OH MY GOD. what would i have done without her?! shes been there always for me. just a phone call or a text away since i was 7. i don't think i could have survived everything i have gone thru without her.♥ She is one of my bestfriends, and i am so thankful to have her there for me whenever i need to talk or get advice on anything i know i can go to her, she is an amazing girl, and although she is hoping to go to Maine for college, and i will miss her, i will try to stay friends with her through everything because her friendship means a lot to me.
~John ; you have been an amazing friend and i love how you put up with me at your house almost everyday this past summer. we have had some amazing times and im so thankful that i got the chance to be friends with you. you are an amazing person, and i know that i joke about the whole "stuff happens sometimes" thing, but that actually taught me a really valuable lesson in that statement because it is completely true. As much as you wont take credit for, you are an amazing friend, and i hope that we will be friends for a long time because we always have fun when we're together. You are an amazing guy, and im so happy to be your friend.
~Danny ; He has always been there for me when i needed him. maybe not by distance, but by heart. he is one of my best friends and i am so grateful that i met him. i know i can call him crying and he can make me feel better. i love when we exchange lyrics or writing that we've done, and i love how we share a lot of common things. i cannot wait for college to set the plan in motion (he knows what i mean) it is going to be amazing. College : the start of the rest of our lives. When we first started talking we used to exchange lyrics ...
---Why follow you to darkness when there is always light. Why settle for pain when you can have pleasure. Keep close the things you treasure. Darkness has consumed me for too long. I reached for light and now i'm strong.
...That was always one of my favorites from you, and yeah i have it memorized danny, and i live by it every single day. you have taught me so much over the last what, 9 months? can you believe that? we have only been talking for about 9 months, and look at how close we have gotten. that is simply amazing. i can barely believe that. i feel like i have known you forever. and i cannot wait until college. it is going to be amazing. you are the only guy i know that will get yelled at by his friends while playing COD just so he can talk to me. you know almost everything about me, and i love your advice, i know i can tell you anything, and trust you with it. you once told me "you are amazing, some guy who thinks with his brain will notice this, and he will see you for not just your outer, but also your inner beauty, and you def have both" i really appreciated that. like you would never understand how much. I wish we could have stayed close, but you changed, and so did i, and we were just never meant to stay friends.
"We have done a lot of growing up, we were never meant to be together"
~Audrey, Allin & Aaron , you guys are seriously very amusing to listen to. im going to miss you guys next semester, we've all brought what we can do in photography and i think we have all helped each other out this semester, between all the crazy pictures, selfies on the macs, and http://www.familywatchdog.usweeblylink_new_window , a lot of good times this semester guys. Although Aaron is a little annoying..... lol and Audrey is way too worried about her academic life and should get some friends.... kidding. maybe . almost a B+ ?? haha. Allin, i honestly have nothing mean to say about you, and you are sitting two seats over being afraid to refresh the page and see what im about to write about you .
~Mom, Dad, Nana & Papa Ross, Paul & Noelle, Nana & Papa Crosby & the rest of the family : Thank you all so much, i could never have asked for a better, more supportive family, you are all there when i need someone and for that i am eternally grateful. You guys all can drive me crazy sometimes, but you're family, and i love you all.
