  • Day 7 – climbing to the moon…

    …wearing pj’s and a bike helmet.

  • Day 6 – anything but the drums…

    As a kid, when I told my parents I wanted to quit taking piano lessons, in a desperate attempt to keep me interested in music, they said, “We’ll buy you any instrument you want, what do you want to play?” I said, “Drums.” They said, “Anything but drums.” (And I distinctly remember my dad saying,…

  • Day 4 – This kid hates to go to sleep…

    As much as I hate broken cameras. In the last two days I have sent three cameras in for repair. But going to sleep and broken cameras are a part of our lives, so we better get used to them both.

  • Day 3 – bribery for a good cause (picking just one photo a day is going to be hard…)

    New Year’s Resolution #3: Hike up the hill behind our house once a day. Good thing I didn’t say we couldn’t bring cookies as motivation… Because hiking with a two-year-old kind of defeats the reason for the resolution. But five cookies, two tangerines, a handful of almonds and craisins later and… We finally made it…

  • My Holiday Cards for 2013 and film…

    Instead of sending out Holiday cards with pictures of my own family…I sent my friends and family photos of themselves. Photos I took of them with one of my medium format film cameras…And have been hiding all year…Just so I could send them as holiday cards. These are a few of my favorites…It was hard…

  • Day 2 – More Polaroids with Friends

    Still haven’t gotten the hang of this camera yet. Funny how I want so badly to use a camera that takes photos that are about the equivalent in quality to a camera phone, yet the photos cost ten times the amount and take three times as long to turn in to a digital format. It…

  • Day 1 – A hike with friends and a new (very old) camera

    New Year’s Resolution #6: I need to be a part of my own life, instead of just documenting others. So, I am going to try a 365 day photo challenge, for the first time ever. Kind of scary, but exciting. I want to be more creative and have more fun with my photography, so maybe…

  • Good Riddance 2013… (the abridged photo version)

    I am feeling a touch of the end of the year blues this year. I think that is because if I had to pick one photo to describe 2013, it would be this one… I definitely bit off way more than I could chew this year… But 2013 did not always play nice…No matter how…

  • Fibershed Fashion Gala 2013

    Fibershed is a project that is very close to my heart. I have been documenting Fibershed since Rebecca Burgess first started her personal challenge in 2010. I clearly remember the conversation Rebecca and I had in 2009 while we were sitting in the airport waiting to board a plane to one of our Harvesting Color…

  • My own blog doesn’t recognize me…

    It has been so long since I have logged on to my blog that I had to generate a new password. I used to think in blog posts…. Now I think in facebook captions, although Instagram is slowly creeping up behind. But I miss my blog, just like… I miss reading books (that are more…
