Lancaster Central Market

This captures market perfectly. I love Market.

Cordero's Father

And the boy looked up from his block of wood. The stranger was dressed in black and walked with a cane. It was hard to tell whether the person was a male or a female, it walked with an almost masculine bounce. It had piercing black eyes and it's mouth was in a perpetual smirk. The ora that followed was inviting and terrifying all at the same time.

"Hello Master Cordero*."

"Hello.... how do you know my name?"

"Oh, because. I know your father you know."

The boy looked into the eyes of the peculiar person.

"Everyone knows my Father."

The stranger held out a hand.

"Come with me. I have something to show you." It turned. "Would you like some candy?"

"Lucifer!" a bellowing voice came from inside the barn. "You are not welcome here.

Go."

*cordero means lamb in spanish

This story was inspired by Ephesians 6:12-13, photograph found on Karl'sfriend Flicker.

Owl City - Alligator Sky ft. Shawn Chrystopher

I'm loving this. I can't wait for the whole album to come out for this summer. yay! :)

Contrast {a poem by C.A.}

I am black.

Black as night.

Black as the raven.

Black as tornado against

A blue sky.

I am unfit to be seen.

Do not come near

"The Devil Dwells Here"

Says the mat outside

My heart.

A man came to me

One afternoon.

I sat alone.

He said "hello".

"Don't come near me,"

Said I.

"I'm a black hole."

"Have you heard

Of the word

'Contrast'" said he.

"No."

"My name is

Mr. Light.

You are

Constant Black,

Are you not?"

I lifted an eye.

"How do you know?"

"Because"

Question Mark.

"I'm here to save you.

You can't do it alone.

Now without me."

He reached out a hand,

And though I coiled back,

Grabbed mine and held fast.

A surge of energy

Went straight to

My heart.

I felt Light

and not Alone.

Now I am Light.

Light as dawn.

Light as the stars.

Light as Reflection.

I am not Alone.

I am Constant Light.

A Morning Carnivaling

About two weeks ago a carnival came to town. It comes every year. Two years ago, my best friend Morgan and I went with another friend in the wee hours of the morning to do a photoshoot. Morgs and I decided that we would continue this tradition this year by walking down to the park at 6am. I am very pleased to say that I am a much better photographer then I was two years ago. We had a great time. I thought I'd share some of my favorites with yall. Enjoy "A Morning Carnivaling".

And Spring Comes to Lancaster

Alright, Things I'm Not So Into::

• School not being done.

• The fact that I have one more year of school left. shoot me now.
