Katie Allenbach: Photobooth

Photobooth

Daniel, Emma, and I thought it'd be fun to take some pictures together. When we couldn't find anyone to take them for us, we decided Photobooth would do the trick. Too bad we got carried away with the effects. For anyone that has played around with Photobooth, you know how addicting and fun it is. We had a fun night together, and I think there's a few keepers in here. The next night Emma and I were back at it. Maybe we have too much time on our hands.

Fall On Your Knees

"...there comes a point when you just love someone.

not because they're good, or bad, or anything really.

you just love them.

it doesn't mean you'll be together forever.

it doesn't mean you won't hurt each other.

it just means you love them.

sometimes in spite of who they are,

and sometimes because of who they are.

and you know that they love you.

sometimes because of who you are

and sometimes in spite of it."
