"Photography is an art of observation, it's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. It has little with the things you see and everything to do with how you see them"-Elliot Erwitt-
Jess lives life behind a camera yet still manages to live life to the fullest. Jess isn't like any ordinary girl. People always that the reason you can connect with everyone is because we're all the same. Jess has a completely different interpretation on her life.
Jess' life may seem perfect in any ordinary teenager, but behind the lens of her camera, there's a whole other story of hurt and tears.
~photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever.... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.~-Aaron Siskind

"The stars." "What about them?" he asked, raising a perfect eyebrow, stepping closer. I took a step back with every step he took forward. "They're watching over us." He seemed to think about my words before speaking. "Over us? Or you think they're watching over you." "I know they're watching over us." My back hit the railing as he stood less than a foot away from me. His lips parted, releasing a puff of smoke into my face. The smell made me feel sick, but I didn't show it. "Mon cœur, no one is watching over us. It's just a fragment of your little imagination," he said bitterly, a cold look passing over his face. He dropped his cigarette, snuffing it out with his shoe. "No," I breathed, shaking my head, "the stars will always watch over us." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *SLOWBURN* Isla Fischer, an 18 year old fresh out of high school and ready for life's adventures.

The Way She Sees Me
Noa never forgot Eli-the best friend she secretly loved in high school before she had to leave without warning. A decade later, Noa has become a renowned photographer, known for capturing people in ways they've never seen themselves. Eli, now one of the world's top models, is untouchable-effortlessly beautiful, endlessly photographed, and always just out of reach. When Noa is unexpectedly assigned to shoot Eli for a major campaign, she braces herself for the inevitable collision of past and present. But when Eli greets her with the same easy charm she had all those years ago-without the slightest hint of recognition-Noa makes a choice. She doesn't remind her. What starts as a professional partnership turns into something more complicated. As they travel from city to city, working in foreign studios and sunlit sets, Noa watches Eli through her lens, searching for traces of the girl she used to know. The way she tilts her head, the way she laughs, the way she bites her lip when she's thinking-it's all still there. And yet, Eli remains distant, unknowingly standing on the other side of a story she doesn't remember. Noa tells herself it's enough to be near her again, to exist in Eli's world, even if she can never say what she really feels. But emotions are harder to edit out than a photograph, and the more time they spend together, the more Eli begins to notice the way Noa looks at her. Somewhere between the shutter clicks and stolen moments, Eli remembers and starts to wonder: has Noa always seen her this way?

spencer, i'll remember how i'd loved you. even after i saw the hate behind your sweet eyes and messy statistics. even after i heard casually cruel words leave the same sugary lips that you used to plant soft kisses on my cheeks. even after i saw you kill right in front of me. the loss of your presence would still hurt the same. it probably wouldn't even matter what you did or didn't do because at night, i would still be crying into my pillow about everything that happened to you regardless. that's another thing that hurts so bad about this all. your loss. it's obvious, i know that. but i feel so alone. and you're actually gone this time.Complete

The Other Side Of The Lens
"That was weird, but I can't stop my heart beating ten times faster than it should be. Laying down on the bed I face away from the bathroom door not wanting him to look at me. I pull the white cover up to my nose and look at the wall. I hear the bathroom door open and footsteps reach closer to the bed. The covers are being moved behind me as Mateo gets ready to sleep. I reach up to turn off the lap on my nightstand, and when I do we're left in the dark abyss of my room. Mateo's arm wraps itself around my waist and pulls me back into his hard chest. He gently lifts my head up and puts it back down onto his bicep. I take in a shaky breath and close my eyes deciding it is best to just sleep.
