Transfer is a beautiful series by photographer and artist Kevin Corrado. Using a mix of photography, oil paint, and digital manipulation, the project speaks about our intense connection between common landscapes and their assigned colors.

Weekly uptade.
Past week has been quite busy, we had our first ever Model UN with all International Relations' students and it was quite exhausting, two days from 7AM to 12PM and we have little to no-break. Apart from that we had a lot of extra essays and works with short due dates. On a completely different scenario, I've manage to fall in love with some new artirts like Griffin House and Ray LaMontagne even though I had no time left to catch up on all the tv shows I am currently watching, which you should be aware, are quite a lot (around 13, simultaneously). Oh, I've finally managed to buy an Eiffel Tower necklace and my clubmasters, yay!, and I'm thinking about turning them into prescription glasses. Been trying to write on my journal (the real thing) again, haven't been too successful but it's a work in progress.
I've been tweaking the layout quite a lot lately and it's still not exactly how I wanted it to be, but it's getting closer so, don't worry if something looks off or isn't working (which shouldn't happen anyway, but just in case it is) it will be fixed as soon as possible.
moodboard: black color.
Because lately, I've been quite fascinated by all things black.
Black is the color of coal, ebony, and of outer space. It is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. It is the opposite of white and often represents darkness in contrast with light. Black was one of the first colors used by artists in neolithic cave paintings. In the Roman Empire, it became the color of mourning, and over the centuries it was frequently associated with death, evil, witches and magic. In the 14th century, it began to be worn by royalty, the clergy, judges and government officials in much of Europe. It became the color worn by English romantic poets, businessmen and statesmen in the 19th century, and a high fashion color in the 20th century. In the Western World today, it is the color most commonly associated with mourning, the end, secrets, magic, power, violence, evil, and elegance.
about instant love.
"Cute design and fun to use — great for capturing all your fun memories."
The Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S is an instant camera that takes credit card sized pictures, just like old days Polaroid, except this one has a much cheaper film (if you're living in the present where Polaroid films are no longer produced) and come on... it looks so pretty. The mini isn't actually small, it's probably the same height of an entry-level DSRL which makes it easy for you to picture since most people got one nowadays.
This camera has been on my wishlist for quite some time and I'm so glad I was finally able to find it in Brazil, which means it was overpriced (probably around $160 dollars if you convert it from brazilians reais) but I'm so in love with this little beauty I'm not even mad there's no more paper in my wallet. Film box comes with a ten exposures set and I must tell you I've feel head over heels over the feeling/sight of seeing a photo appear in the palm of my hands, even the sounds makes my heart a bit warm.
I'm pretty certain you guys can see how excited and happy I am with it by this post. Isn't instant photography amazing? Have you got one? Would you like to get one?
Pugs not drugs
These are Jeremy Beach's and Norm, the pug. It's a lovely colorful feed with amazing perspectives on daily life from both human and dog life.
I'm back, with a new blog layout (as it often happens). So I decided to share this great instagram account I've found. You know, pugs not drugs. You should totally follow them! Proper posts may be coming soon, it's past 10:30pm and I gotta wake up before 6, so, I am way too sleepy.
32 things to stop worrying about.
1. Your ex. (Yes, really, once more with feeling.) Your ex.
2. Whether someone thinks that the literature, music, art, film, or any other kind of entertainment you enjoy isn’t cool.
3. When someone looks at the food you’re eating and comments on how it isn’t good for you. (THAT IS WHY I ORDERED CHILI FRIES BITCH PASS ME THE RANCH DRESSING)
4. What the people you don’t like post on their Facebook status (why are you even still friends with them?).
5. Getting/maintaining a tan.
6. Which celebrity’s breasts are exposed this week.
7. Which celebrity is cheating on which other celebrity.
8. The opinions of people who a) will never like you and b) have absolutely no bearing on your life.
9. Whether or not you look as good as some random, well-dressed stranger on the subway.
10. Who is making more money than you, or how much exactly you think that they are making.
11. The fact that you are perceived as not as sexually appealing as a picture of a celebrity or model that has been put through so many rounds of makeup and Photoshop as to be rendered little more than a cartoon.
12. Reality television stars, how much sex they are having (and with whom), and whether or not they decide to start a family.
13. Whether people you know are getting married, having children, or making big life changes when it either hasn’t happened to you yet or you don’t want it to happen at all.
14. The social lives of people who don’t invite you out places.
15. What negative thing a critic has to say about a film you really enjoyed.
16. The fact that friends are going to make harmless decisions that we wouldn’t necessarily make for ourselves. (They are there for your love and companionship, not to have another parent.)
17. What people are going to think about the clothes that we really enjoy wearing.
18. What someone might be saying behind your back (the answer is almost invariably that they aren’t even thinking about you).
19. The path that everyone else thinks that it would be “appropriate” or “practical” for you to take, especially if that path doesn’t make you happy.
20. Whether or not your hobbies, interests, or personality make you “masculine” or “feminine” enough.
21. How many followers you have on Twitter.
22. Being the only one without a significant other at a given event.
23. Having the same IKEA furniture as all your other 20-something friends who have IKEA furniture. We’re all in the IKEA furniture phase, okay? It doesn’t make us bad people.
24. Changing your personality when you hang out with someone who you can feel doesn’t like you.
25. Eating salads on dates. (Can I get this burger literally wrapped in bacon, please?)
26. Not being as well dressed as all of the beautiful models doing impossibly twee activities that people keep reblogging on Tumblr.
27. Not being found attractive by someone who is not even remotely worth your time.
28. Whether or not you cry during movies that are somewhat embarrassing to cry during, such as The Notebook. (Oh my god, but seriously, when they have to subdue her and Noah is crying and, oh my god, the feelings.)
29. Watching your former bullies become train wrecks via Facebook (though I will admit that that shit is pretty satisfying.)
30. Hitting your life milestones at the “right” moments.
31. Proving to people who aren’t willing to listen that you are an okay person who is happy and whole.
32. Trying to convince your friends/acquaintances to start watching Breaking Bad. If they’re not going to do it, it’s their loss, dude.
