I can gather all the news I need on the weather report...

I awoke with this beautiful song in my head, and an urge to work on photos I shot years ago and hadn't done anything with.

Enjoy the music, enjoy the view.

The Way Up...

Another one from the archives. I rediscovered this photo today and it made me happy. Pretty sure I shot it in 2001 -- I guess I've been looking up for a very long time.
This weekend I'll be setting aside some time to work on photographs from our Detroit / Niagara adventure, and look forward to sharing more with you next week.

Happy weekend!

like sunday morning

circa 2000.

I recently discovered this photo of josh in a dust covered box full of treasure. This photo has always been one of my favorite from our first years together. I shot the photo with slide film, and made a print with my Polaroid Daylab, in the kitchen of my very own apartment.

I know it's been quiet around here lately, but I promise I'll have many new photographs to share with you soon. Lately I've traveled up and down this beautifully Golden State, which means I have a fresh abundance of photographs to sort and edit. Josh and I have some exciting excursions planned, and it looks like me & my camera will have one wonderfully busy summer!

Happy weekend to you... enjoy!!

Scenes from a Train Window

Thanksgiving morning, 2002, Josh and I boarded a train in California, en route to Chicago. The trip would take a couple of days, and we were terrificly excited. When we boarded the train it was nearly empty, so they offered us a Sleeper Car at a fantastic discount. We jumped at the opportunity to have a cabin of our very own. I remember that I baked two batches of cookies, Molasses and Chocolate Chip, so we'd be sure to have a tasty Thanksgiving Day dessert. As it turns out, when you get a Sleeper Car, you also get three hot meals per day in the Dining Car, including dessert. Oh well, no such thing as too many cookies right?! We were treated to a Thanksgiving feast complete with turkey and mashed potatoes, served on their finest railroad china. It was so much fun to share this special meal with complete strangers. As west met east, the scenery transformed from sunny to snowy. We spent hours gazing out the Observation Car windows, and swapping stories with fellow travel-by-train adventurers. One of my favorite Thanksgivings ever...

Chicago!

Happy Monday, I hope you had a wonderful holiday...

Happy Halloween

The Party.
