The wait for scans to come back from the lab is torturous. I sent my second roll of medium format film to the Find Lab in Utah. Due to the Christmas holiday I ended up having to wait for almost 2 and 1/2 weeks between shipping day and scan day. I’m accustomed to uploading and […]

When you move frequently, low priced international moving companies become your friends and the definition of home becomes something fluid and amorphous. Not every location that you live in becomes a home, but many do and the traditional definition of a single, solitary place of home is harder to hold on to. My husband and

“Everyone in this good city enjoys the full right to pursue his own inclinations in all reasonable, and, unreasonable ways.” The Daily Picayune, New Orleans, March 5, 1851 New Orleans has a long, long history. The French Quarter was kid friendly at the hours that we were there, but by the time we left around

The day after Thanksgiving we packed up the family and headed down to Gulfport Mississippi for a quick weekend getaway. I found the most adorable cottage on Airbnb and, in a small way, it felt like we were back in Europe, traveling and staying in homes. With this Airbnb experience, though, there were no

Playing together? Kind of? One loves Minecraft with all that he is, and the other is quite engrossed with an Angry Birds racing game. Electronics are a struggle in our house, as I know they are in many others. On this afternoon, at least, everyone was content, the devices were being used with consent

This is an honest set of images. In late October I bought a Mamiya RB 67 ProSD off of ebay, from a deal in Korea, and waited patiently for it to arrive. 4 days later, which seemed incredibly fast for international shipping, I was on YouTube figuring out how to load 120 into a

Both of his older brothers had to be in their bed in order to fall asleep. I thought that must just be the way our family rolls. But then this little one came along. Couches, floors…. anywhere is fair game for a nap. The only problem is that if he happens to fall asleep

I’ve recently fallen in love with film photography. I tried to fall in love 4 years ago, with a Holga, but I wasn’t quite able to find a reason to keep shooting film. I had put 1 and a half rolls of film through the Holga, when I tucked it all away in a

Daily, well, let’s be honest, many times per day, he likes to pull all of the pillows and cushions off of this couch. “I’m making castle!” he exclaims, emphatically. I’m contemplating a couch with zero removable pillows.
The little dragon did NOT want to be a dragon. It was one of those afternoons when he had to be woken up from a nap, and he didn’t take kindly to the sleep interruption. Minecraft Steve and Transformer Bumblebee, however, were more than pleased to don their outfits and take part in the
Y’all. There are a lot more creepy crawly things in the South than there are in the Pacific Northwest. And, they tend to be bigger and meaner. (Or tiny and horrible, in the case of fire ants.) We’re used to leisurely traipsing through the woods, not being too cautious about where we put our feet

Aren’t suckers shaped like Texas a morning staple in your house, too? Ok, not in mine either. Just when Mama’s been gone for 5 days.
October 8th through 11th was spent breathing photography. The conference put on by Clickinmoms, Clickaway, was a beautiful experience, full of inspiration, education and chances to make connections. The ability to spend a few days, simply being an adult (who loves pictures) was truly refreshing. I had the opportunity to meet many past students and
Recently, I read Peter Hurley’s book, The Headshot: The Secrets to Creating Amazing Headshot Portraits. While I liked the portrait I had been using as my headshot, it didn’t communicate the aspects of my personality that I most wanted to present to the online world. So, I set out to create a new headshot that
Sometimes, it is nearly impossible to fulfill your daily reading quota when a rambunctious little brother is in the room.
I remember that sensation. The cool, prickly, tingle as bare feet sink slightly into morning chilled sand. The breeze ruffling hair and swirling around knees. My childhood contained many happy memories set at tide pools like this. The Oregon coast is a very different experience from the beaches of Sicily, but oh so beautiful in
During our journey from Sicily to Alabama we spent a few days in Virginia. Colonial Williamsburg was on the plan, and after struggling through the I-64 traffic from Norfolk… holy cow that was no joke… we made it out to the site, slathered on our sunscreen and got ready to brave the heat and humidity.
