despite the fiery sunsets, it is a rather blue summer

i am thankful for my surroundings

if i cant count on anyone

i will simply count on beauty

dear sprad, 

you were an important friend to all of us queen city children.  i admired your talent on the guitar when i started listening to TLAB. i once was told you listen to a lot of pink floyd… we may have talked about it a few times. your solos and melodies at live shows always had a pink floyd feel. even more so when you joined richard parker.  that’s one thing i always appreciated. you created a beautiful sound while you were on this earth and luckily we can always remember the music you made. 

you left us peacefully. i hope in the least painful way possible. but you are so young. today you were put to rest- it has rained and thundered all day here in the mountains. 

i am glad to have gotten to know you. and i will not forget the influence you will continue to make on your friends, family, and the public.

forever,

madison

from the victoria’s secret shoot, as promised. enjoy!

these are 2 snapshots from a shoot with my good friend lindsey truesdale.  these shots were taken by my sister, morgan, who also assisted me on the shoot.  we all stripped down to our underwear in order to be comfortable (it was a victoria’s secret shoot). i will post the final product soon! <3
