Things of Beauty
Posted by Taryn O Neill on Oct 28, 2009
One of the reasons I'm so excited about my new website is that I can have forum discussions on all sorts of topics. I may still be in the midst of writing a new All Things T blog post that revolves around new media (wait what are we calling it now 'cause it ain't new anymore) but in the meantime, I can post about a whole variety of things that peak my interest.  I may be an occasional badass and like to tango with a heavy bag but I'm still a girl and occasionally love girlie things- like fashion, travel, and art (and Twilight- don't judge).  Photography is a big passion of mine.  I think it runs in my blood as my father and I both love to capture images that move us and ultimately compete to see who got the better photograph.  I will honestly be driving along and see something in nature- the way the sun is setting or a storm is coming in or how the light is hitting the marine layer - and pull my car over to the side of the road so that I can take pictures with my iPhone (while cursing that I don't have my canon with me at all times.) Today I stumbled on a beautiful set of black and white photographs from Parisian photographer Elisabeth Toll on a very girlie blog called This is Glamorous.  My breath caught in my throat as I gazed upon a set of captivating images that quickly awakened lush memories of my trip to Paris two years ago and my subsequent desire to live there for a spell. It also reminded me what a photograph can do and how it will forever bring you soaring back to that moment you captured it.  Moments in time.  That's what it is all about anyway right?
So what does this mean? Well just that I'll be blogging and posting about an extended array of topics (above and beyond the corner of Hollywood I inhabit) that I enjoy - some of which you might as well- and lo and behold there is a whole area on my site that we can chat about it.  
Make sure to check out those photographs by Elisabeth Toll- I honestly want to dive through my computer screen and end up on the other side in them (a scifi Mary Poppins with the sidewalk chalk drawings if you will). The picture of Paris at the top of this post, though, is by me. And this one of the elephants was by my dad.  
Pretty awesome. Moments in time. Be back soon.
