When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of Paradise
Every time she closed her eyes.

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

She dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.


I was completely inspired by this song. It's called Paradise by Coldplay. One of my favorite bands.

I tried capturing Alaska's summer beauty as well as I can. But it's damn near impossible. The beauty of this state is breath-taking and it's indescribable. No documentary, artist, photographer can capture how amazing it is in person.

It's another world, it feels like you're in a different country instead of the United States. Even in Fairbanks, the 2nd biggest city in Alaska, you're surrounded by the feel and look of the Alaskan wilderness. Even the university is covered in trees. I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to live in this state with my mate, . It still hasn't fully hit me that I'm living my DREAM. In the state that I've dreamed of.

Anyway, I changed a few more things on Blu, just to solidify her. The purple scarf is the same scarf I've had for years.

I also tried a few new techniques from other artists that inspire me. I like the results
