Lights...

These pictures are a little darker than I would like, but these lanterns were hanging under the pavilion at Shell Point the other night and they looked too cool :)
I have fallen head over heels in love with my Iphone 4 camera, it takes some awesome pictures and I am way too lazy to carry around my nice camera (so what...and the battery is never charged...it's not my fault I swear)

I hope you'e enjoying all of the photography, cause I'm loving it!

Lovely evening...

I had a TERRIBLE day... The kind that makes you want to crawl back into bed and hide from the world.

But it's better now :)

Oldies but goodies...

This flower came from a rose bush I had at my old house in Indian Head, it had some of the prettiest roses I've ever seen. 

My puppy when he was...well, a puppy :)

Gorgeous sunset at St. Marks years ago...

Perfect butterfly...in my cars grille?

Ivy...

Sweet dreams...I'm flyering tomorrow :)

"Kraeft-y Nicole"

I never really had many nicknames until I was older, but during my childhood this is what every person I met called me...at least once... "Kraefty Nicole." I've always loved getting my hands dirty...in art supplies that is.

I want to dedicate a large part of this blog to my artwork for several reasons. I think it is a great way to share my work and also to come up with new ideas, but I also hope it will motivate me to create more art. As with many things in my life, I will get super focused on one aspect or another but then I will let it fall to the wayside. I want to find a way to indulge in my many interests and to keep working on them simultaneously. I have never studied art seriously, aside from a few art classes and a photography class when I studied abroad in London, but it has always been something that has come very naturally to me. I think it is also very fitting that the artsy side of me does in fact come from the "Kraeft" side. Both my father and grandfather have dabbled in photography and I think they have a great eye for it. Below are a few of my favorite photographs that I have taken over the years. Hopefully soon I will go through some of my drawings and paintings and maybe some jewelry if you're lucky and post them up here :) 

Enjoy!
