I have been blogging for nearly 4 years and I must say that it was a very positive and encouraging experience. For the last few months I have felt uninspired - not only for the blog, but in my real life too. Sometimes posting would seem more like a chore than an enjoyment, and it should not feel like that at all. I am taking some time off from blogging to experience things in my own life and get inspired again. This wasn't a rash decision, but something I have been pondering for a long time. I know that I will be back blogging again in the future, but with a new blog and a new mission. I started this blog when I was 17 and I am 21 now - I have definitely grown up and changed. These past 2 years have not been the best years of my personal life, so I want to take every minute to make the next two years fantastic. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel like with my next blog, it will be more personal and just everyday accounts of my adventures - wherever I shall be in life! I want my family and friends to know about it too - I have been blogging anonymous for the last 4 years. I will still visit all my favorite blogs (I have a lot) to keep in touch and to still be in the "blogging world" somewhat. Think of this as a Sabbatical and when I come back I will better than ever. Thank you for reading my blog for the past four years and leaving my encouraging and sweet comments along the way - it is definitely something I will NEVER forget! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">See you soon! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> - Modern Marie :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">...</div><div style="text-align: center;">*I keep the blog up for another month and then shut it down.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll also be spending my new time making stuff for<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/laurenlonergan"> my etsy shop</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And feel free to shoot me an email : modernmarie@live.com </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17507993628793504805noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722237557821798821.post-59827271417340424532010-07-30T18:02:00.003-04:002010-07-30T18:11:15.675-04:00Picnic<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8NPG9PoNh324V3K_DzJ0-ylSJOawOdMGF3hjOFAO0XE87U3E77N4bHkRpowXCJRJ30KgL_es6wRotLwF8qthBgMyZy3OcaA2wEYMilkPj9x1X8YYLYAXlCPnixjIWgGJWD8qjVnncCw/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499824255791208850" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1co5Hc6Fr3OwSCB1K_vUeKFJdRMNt47gH4yMGVaZjDGugmWEAAUZVHZLqib4uprSSCsOouNsQdZldq0ZfY77e7tTsbc1fdIFuq55UVf97MmviINCOgpdnBXQB6P5wkRhMBKiu0gQvbg/s400/DSC_0007.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499824267774960754" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsmv7Lqi7DdKRQ58wtIk6Fl6FAz7sudyj9fKHOeI5n_iUENUKgQaexWlQPv_DTlJg7AFaz4VCt-KEbm8ikvM7DeRj-cFbcrGN0n10cAuB6DZmoPy84y49Oa_m3nFKGvSTbmP3XezjyVA/s400/DSC_0003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499824252771189602" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3FaN_UhO7TfHXxYtSXCL1KYVqWztlgqHgptXVEV4S799FivRt4V00pvMG11WOdyIzBvbg83a-NKlfW1m7dAcajoVbBv6UYt52wLYsn2dGG2gSN7BMc2W8nDGuqrWEM_B73YW48o1zQ/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3FaN_UhO7TfHXxYtSXCL1KYVqWztlgqHgptXVEV4S799FivRt4V00pvMG11WOdyIzBvbg83a-NKlfW1m7dAcajoVbBv6UYt52wLYsn2dGG2gSN7BMc2W8nDGuqrWEM_B73YW48o1zQ/s400/DSC_0009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499824271001896450" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I just had an evening picnic with my best friends last night.

It's a much needed break from work and blogging. It's just a long weekend, but hopefully enough to recharge and refocus me :) </div><div style="text-align: center;">I will resume blogging and commenting (I've been bad about that - sorry) no later than Tuesday. I leave you with some more summery, summery tunes. They remind me of the beach, riding bikes and driving your car with the windows rolled down - stereotypical of summer music, right? We normally would be going to the beach, but because of the oil, we decided to go to the lake, where the oil can't even get to even if it tried. These Diana F+ pictures are from back in March in Charleston when my friends and I went to the beach one day when it felt like June outside. And yes, that is me in the hat ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;">.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1.

I must say that I am very pleased with all of them. Film is such a great medium to use because you never know just how it will come out. With the Diana camera, which based on a toy camera from the 70's, you can layer several shots on one frame, like I did with the one above. Taken in San Francisco, I took a picture of the Painted Ladies, didn't roll the film and then took a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge on top of it. Getting these rolls developed makes me feel like a kid on Christmas morning and each shot is so precious because you only get 12 to a roll. I love it - many more to come :)</div>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17507993628793504805noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722237557821798821.post-71713682316267693252010-06-29T14:44:00.006-04:002010-06-29T15:01:31.422-04:00Tres cute<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488268704198119746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhC86VqgRrd8HDX76tL2U7zLSpwaXtxjjnnjHj0E8PSg0JB8qPyLfWV1jrZZBvJYcQBjE70rv6Y2IFzpsg0WXEG6beY_kJ2P2GIOvZu4jrVS3SJOmoKy4Rpz9TApAUeqsXKmYlJj4Ag/s400/marc+resort+(3).jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">I am in love with the Marc Jacobs Resort 2011 collection.

Tres beautiful! <span style="font-size:85%;">I took some in black in white in honor of Ansel Adams, who took many of his famous photographs there.</span></p>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17507993628793504805noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722237557821798821.post-11792838289280423892010-06-09T21:49:00.007-04:002010-06-09T22:16:54.858-04:00Imogen Heap<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAs026WHZmAAyLOgb5C_UxPPU9rWwAA5rkbXNC6wg211EZ1ZiUvjRzXxUDv1VYXM1yCMXuO0iq9GBY_EY61z0-lYO_HmP1ydOPEcC6WeTTpCmcPAbArcVZVZ6As9-NBGynnc4Oc-4C6w/s1600/100_3161.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480957319136105682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAs026WHZmAAyLOgb5C_UxPPU9rWwAA5rkbXNC6wg211EZ1ZiUvjRzXxUDv1VYXM1yCMXuO0iq9GBY_EY61z0-lYO_HmP1ydOPEcC6WeTTpCmcPAbArcVZVZ6As9-NBGynnc4Oc-4C6w/s400/100_3161.JPG" border="0" /></a> Last Friday I went to see Imogen Heap at the tabernacle in Atlanta. The friend I went with had been to her shows several times before and had raved about them. She was right, it was truly an amazing and inspiring experience. </div><div align="center">The set had a million (exaggeration) different instruments on it and in the center of the stage was a light up tree that had chimes and gongs hanging off of it. There were mac books all over the stage - even on her clear acrylic "grand" piano keyboard. </div><div align="center">Imogen had these little sensitive microphones on her wrist that were connected to all these computers. She (or a person from her band) would play a little of an instrument and she would record that sound from the microphones on her wrist. On the computer, she would playback the sound over and over, looping it. She layered all these sounds on top of each other until they finally sounded like a song. That is how she makes her background music - in the studio and on stage. Also, her voice sounded EXACTLY like she does on her Cd's! It was just amazing to watch her make her music from scratch, so to speak. </div><div align="center">Add in great lighting, a great backup band, and her fairy-like hair - it was an unforgettable evening. Not to mention she played ALL my favorites (she does a poll for each city to see what they want to hear). <em>First train home YOU got to get on it!</em></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480957307813840194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjLWjVRLtaCM4I4W-jsHh-HAqY_H9lSOfWPrm2Zi5dvE6ICYMDWTlkZsV1vr0COuk9T6lkpLQCnCKuEVE-kDbVCxsYHaDv3JE4nVMvkQHjcTpX0Z89mV9PEGKJp2iKS9YdwyVfF5LTuw/s400/100_3151.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQ_mDO_Dbh7SAbQblHSLve09qGHx5iz_E4DTJMZSxx8ssy2L_Wb5N_Tbv8a9SV2zmtE-bhaL8CLKyvQOA3X7wwhSU7P63B4uRFeh3J-bXWunddXVEnqFzYXd0r6WtlvG3Ujw5BUrvGA/s1600/100_3156.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480957311461140002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQ_mDO_Dbh7SAbQblHSLve09qGHx5iz_E4DTJMZSxx8ssy2L_Wb5N_Tbv8a9SV2zmtE-bhaL8CLKyvQOA3X7wwhSU7P63B4uRFeh3J-bXWunddXVEnqFzYXd0r6WtlvG3Ujw5BUrvGA/s400/100_3156.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy0lNipWWOHG3h6mtApQsTLczKz6h4t_r5qa_tcBXm0CPf4oDeIAGKN0cSQpszWppNkSm53cHVx0hwjtE7818vy_toVe8_WamOhlUcVRaIa2gDyc_T3c1U8ChngDwIkkY6dIk78qR_iA/s1600/100_3145.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480956933258717426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy0lNipWWOHG3h6mtApQsTLczKz6h4t_r5qa_tcBXm0CPf4oDeIAGKN0cSQpszWppNkSm53cHVx0hwjtE7818vy_toVe8_WamOhlUcVRaIa2gDyc_T3c1U8ChngDwIkkY6dIk78qR_iA/s400/100_3145.JPG" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480956922019899298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDZiVSGOJsIekZ2BA7ERyfDFr-FjTUOnZQzwodd_-Q_JWhxvC3AKNR_ze_lAbs9JfGfVI6P7Oc8kGH46X00xTGYQkSdTl5Qoj5M-N6DMDFSzw4-xTh7ZMJVPb7yLgYECp8Jj_I72rHrg/s400/100_3123.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoqAAanxTzdKSeHG85_QB4ttMGJ2N2HCGbHFNFZOuGq6ZCn6EOXwSKjL8gLDkAaEurcMnBkDUK3eeKxB19SWzH_ekAbB0_0UP_F3bVwW2aXjQw2yrFiGYLBY-VcxBrDmjz0R0BVzssTQ/s1600/100_3129.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480956923644692450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoqAAanxTzdKSeHG85_QB4ttMGJ2N2HCGbHFNFZOuGq6ZCn6EOXwSKjL8gLDkAaEurcMnBkDUK3eeKxB19SWzH_ekAbB0_0UP_F3bVwW2aXjQw2yrFiGYLBY-VcxBrDmjz0R0BVzssTQ/s400/100_3129.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><p align="center">**we got there an hour before the doors opened so we could be up close - there was no one between me and the stage!</p>Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17507993628793504805noreply@blogger.com3
