Coincidence

Posted on by

Today as I was driving to pick up some friends so that we could go to Border’s Going Out of Business sale, I kept thinking about the underwater photos I blogged about yesterday.

Then I thought: “When I get a book published one day, I wanna use a photo by Elena Kalis on the front cover.”

Lo and behold as we are scavenging through the books, I came across this:

Apparently other people have been thinking along the same lines as me because the cover photo for the book “Imaginary Girls” is by Kalis.

Funny coincidence, right? And good thing I have another photo by Kalis in mind 🙂

I think I take cool photos and then I see this:

Today I was snooping around on Pinterest (which has a lot of great photos) and discovered this photo:

copyright Elena Kalis

I love how ethereal the water makes her look. It’s such a striking photo too, with a contrast between the colors of her outfit, the bird and the water. I decided to look up the website of the photographer, Elena Kalis, to see what other photos she has.

I was blown away by the gorgeousness of her photos. She has a remarkable eye for photography, in addition to having great models and gorgeous outfits. It also helps she’s located in the Bahamas! (Envious!)

Here are my four favorite photos from her site, although this was a difficult decision as ALL of her photos are so beautiful!

If things go wrong, don’t go with them.

Fair Ladies II

Dreamland

Alice in Waterland

Now that I’ve seen Kalis’ photos, I am really lusting after an underwater camera. I’ve played around with a good underwater camera once before, but I would love to actually OWN one so that I could do photoshoots like Kalis! Although instead of shooting in the Bahamas, I would definitely re-locate to Australia to take photos! 🙂

 

One Day... ** sigh**

I like to laugh

I like to laugh. I’m not talking about laughter that is like “haha” or the single “he!,” I’m talking about finding something so hilarious that I double over with a gasping-for-air laugh in which tears spring from my eyes. It’s been a while since I’ve found something to make me truly laugh until two days ago when I saw this:

I almost fell of the couch the first time I saw it, I was laughing so hard! For the whole rest of the day, I would randomly think of this photo and go into a laughing fit. Apparently I have an infectious laugh because, although the people around me would yell “SARAH! THE PHOTO IS NOT THAT FUNNY!”, they would start laughing too.

It’s only now, two days later, that I can look at this photo with a little “haha”and a smirk instead of  cracking up.

But still, I think this shall remain my new favorite photo for a while. 🙂
