Iris Wasabi Photography: Music + Photography = Life/Love/My Job

So I'm going to do my taxes today. So how crazy was the chase in l.a lastnight? I love how everyone I'm friends with on twitter who were following the chase believed it was chris brown. And then thought it was dj khaled. When infact it is now noted that it was not a celeb.

Got a call from Kara .... Should have gone into the office today. Crap.

Tomorrow the girls and I are going to a party. Fun fun.

I've been sick with this weird stomache flu and I puked so hard that myright eye freaked out.

So I've been busy getting my nails super glitterfied. Not in the mariah carey glitter way but more like im flossin' kinda way. I saw these nails that had hundred dollar bills cut up and put on the tips. I want those so bad. Im serious. I think they were done with gel? Idek. Im watching Ellen right now, who knew john mayer was this funny lol anyway I am getting over the stomache flu right now. No goinng into the office today. Im actually working on a line of hair clip things. They kinda resemble flapper and burlesque dancer type headpieces. I sold a sample amount and so far so good. Working on getting them into boutiques.

Time to go chillax with the pups and enjoy the rest of my day!

O and katy perry looked gorgeous. You may have resembled the chiquita banana lady but baby you worked it! What'd you all think of the grammys? What was your fave performance?

Updating via sidekick. Gonna be a busy week. I need to get my glue gun back from kara. Have some boutiques I need to go to. Time to get ready for the day.

Birthday party at Veronicas today for Kara! Good times!!!! Just went shoppin for supplies and now we need to get some film for my polaroid camera from this photo lab halfway across town, aaaaahhhhh!!

I love love love daisies. This week has been pretty eventful. Karas birthday was fun yesterday, full of chocolate cookies, yum. I've been looking to photograph on some tours, so if anyone knows anyone who knows someone who can hook me up, let me know.

I've been busy, but in all the ways that I don't type out in an online journal I don't even know what that means.

It's been too long. I've been up to a lot as of late :) More to come soon!

Love always- iris

but only not really.

so im on the net via phone. have to hold out on uploading pix for a bit i guess. watching shopgirl one of my fave movies. tired. time to read and then drift off to sleeeep....

so tired.
this weekend has been exhausting and overwhelming as you can see from my "vlog"

call me.

i am tired and all the same i can not sleep.

no punctuation please.

so it is 4:15 am and I am on the internet.
i fell asleep for 30 minutes and woke up gasping for air.
lovely.
only.... not really.

check this video out, in it you can see Forever The Sickest Kids posing for the photoshoot:

This is what came of it:

 the above video was used with permission from DJ Ashen Check out his myspace for more video of his My Warped Life Video Blog Series.

Time to try and sleep now omg

im looking for a job. i am qualified for a lot of stuff but the only things i want to do are music or music related or photography. im sick and tired of jobs like ive had in the past. no more jobs like barnes and noble.

Someone asked me "Why would you put IrisWasabi.buzznet.com on your photos? They will go to your buzznet and read your BLOG!!"

My response? "Alright, and?"

Because honestly, and here is the reason why:
I believe that no matter what I say or what I write, my art is just that.
ART.
PHOTOGRAPHY.
And yes, I may get a little personal here sometimes, but this buzznet is an extension of my "creative format" so to speak.
Like musicians take myspace and use it for their work, I take buzznet and use it for mine.
It just so happens I adore wiritng little things here and there, posting images I have not taken, those go in my blog.

If a company, band, artist, model, whatever decides not to hire me because of something I have written, then yes, maybe it was a foolish thing on my part to post my url on my photos.

Howver, it would be foolish on their part as well, to take something that is written ON THE INTERNET and base their entire judement of my PHOTOGRAPHIC SKILLS solely on the purpose of any bearings my words may have.

So with that being said, I don't think people should judge someone off what they project.
Who knows, maybe it's all a facade?

So the VMAs VIP Party is on Friday.
Can't wait for the fun. I don't even know who will be there, what's going on, whatever.
It's just as well, thats how I do things haha
I still have not got my dress and don't know what to do about that I might just end up wearing a dress I already have OMG THE BLASPHEMY.

Whatevers.

Because I am bored and in the midst of getting ready for my day, I decided to post a blog of my favorite things over the summer:

HEART SHAPED SUNGLASSES IN PURPLE AND YELLOW:

WARPED TOUR:

SEEING ONE OF MY FAVE BANDS THE VANDALS MORE THAN ONCE:


WATCHING NEW BANDS MORE THAN ONCE:



SEEING MY OLD FRIEND MATT IN SO CAL:

GATORADE!!!

WALKIN' AROUND WITH A BOTTLE OF PATRON (MORE THAN ONCE)

PINK AND GOLD TOTE BAG FROM WALMART SUPERSTORE!


and theres way too much more. OH!

ANNOYING PEOPLE!
(no image available, was too busy annoying them apparently)

So I am in serious need of something to wear to the VMAs and a pre-VMA kick off event.

I never really worry about what to wear to these things but the problem is, after Warped Tour I have this wicked weird tan. It's dark and I can hardly find any make-up that will match my skintone.

So I am thinking of wearing an outfit that has sleeves.
Tacky?

I think I am moving from Nor Cal back home to Fresno.
I adore my friends and friends who have become family here but nothing beats the boringness of Fresno haha
No really, just that I think I am so serious about my "Art" so I need to really focus and get my shit together.
I mean, at least in Fresno Los Angeles is about 3 Hours away as opposed to 6.

I guess life is really all about taking chances.
I've taken a chance this entire year, and it's been a lot of fun but I need to step it up a notch, I know this.

Watch out for bigger and better things :)

i'm still awake. looking at pictures that i didn't take.
so much beauty in the world:



maybe it's the fact that its 2:34am and i haven't really been able to sleep much, but i think that has to be one of the most gorgeous things i've ever seen.

people take my harsh words too seriously sometimes.
honestly, i don't intend half the things i say to come out sounding so bitter.
i'm a chipper person.
my favorite colours are yellow purple and green.
who can be bitter with those colors always surrounding them?
i'm rambling.
the diphenhydramine hasn't kicked in yet.
or maybe it has and i'm fighting sleep.

so yeah, going to dress up for friday night live in stockton tonite.

pictures soon!
