Mississippi Pizza Pub
This place is super close to my housepartment but I just don’t make it out there often enough. Which is a darned shame, because they have weekly events like a Spelling Bee (I would so kick everyone’s butt — jus’sayin’) and Trivia Night that speak to the inner geek in me.
Meowy Christmas!
When I was out test-driving the F100 a few days ago I ran into this GORGEOUS kitty who was just wandering around my neighborhood. The only downfall is that he would not. shut. UP! He meowed in that way that only a Bengal or Siamese cat can and I have to admit… It was kind...
2011: Year In Review
It’s that time again! That time where I put together what is effectively a clip show, for my blog.
Last week, in the midst of packaging presents to send to family and trying to figure out what the heck people write in Christmas cards, I realized this was next on the to-do list.
Test Drive with the F100
Earlier this month I hunted around for a used Nikon F100 and finally got it in my hot little mitts last week. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it — going back to 35mm feels so good. It’s great being able to spend more time on a single scene again instead of being...
Irving Park At Night
I was walking home from the grocery store three nights ago and cut through the soccer field in the park. Suddenly, I stopped. I looked around. And then the next thing I knew I was taking the biggest, fastest steps I could to get home to my camera.
Not My Photos // Brianne’s First Roll
Normally I don’t feature other people’s work on my blog, just to keep it relevant. But since I made it a point to share the link love more often, and since I’ve been meticulously documenting my friend and eternal muse, Brianne’s, foray into film photography, and since so many people have been asking about her...
Oscar on SE Main
Even though he lives in the same court as a good friend of mine, I’ve only met Oscar once. That hasn’t stopped me from being completely obsessed with him, though. I’m absolutely in love with his little Phantom of the Opera mask, though he hardly had time to stop and vogue for me.
The Myth of the Extraordinary
It may surprise some to learn that one of my favorite books doesn’t have magic, dragons or talking fruit bats named Roberto. It’s a short read called Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking. I read it in college for a course, but it’s one of the few “textbooks” I held...
Summer Shoes
I have been known to own a pair of shoes… Or twenty. And I’m woman enough to admit that not all of those shoes fit the level of function that would allow me to keep a decent pace while walking with my husband (who happens to be a giant.
Film // How We Live
Brianne B. // Cathedral Park
Is there any bigger tease in life than a clear, sunny day in December? Because that’s what us Portlanders are going through today. I’m not going to complain… Too much… But when scanning in these frames from the summer I had to resist the urge to throw on my cutest summer get-up and catch the...
Honeyspider
This is my favorite day of the week, despite being prone to completely forgetting what day of the week it actually is. I can’t help it — I always fall into that Sunday stereotype of lazing about in the mornings and just farting around in the afternoons.
2 O’Clock Bath Hour
Their days usually start off with Franny driving me insane with whatever toy she wants to play fetch with. Usually it’s a disgusting fuzzy sock that’s been dragged across all corners of the apartment.
Felix is a prince and stays asleep on the wooden chest next to our bed until I wake up and go...
