  • Day 9 – this is film…

    These were the last photos my beloved Rolleiflex took before it broke on Christmas morning. These photos remind me how much I love that camera. And I hope it comes back very soon.So even though these photos were not actually taken today, because they are film, I think they are allowed to break the rules.

  • Day 8 – Back to work…

    I realized on the first leg of my three+ hour commute to South San Francisco that today was my second to last photo shoot with the Studio Choo ladies. After two years working together, I am going to miss bundling up in extra layers, eating burritos with green salsa, trying to bounce light off the…

  • 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 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…

  • 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…
