Je T'Aime

"It always fascinates me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing."
from the film Two Days in Paris - a beautiful, poignant, and gorgeous summation of a seminal human moment.

A beautifully done film. The voice over gave fluid visual translation of what it feels like to be searching for the right word's, instead of it evading you, it comes to your mind with incredible smoothness and force.

Sorry

I have seriously been neglecting you lately :( my poor blog...

I have been busy tho, editing away... Post's soon come.

Promise ;) !

I've been missing my Film

The other day I shot a picture of some bird's flying out of the brush into a misty blue sky(simple) but touching. The photo was screaming hope, determination, joy, and deep thought. It wasn't until after a little editing work on my part that my photograph actually gave me all those wonderful feeling's... It was in that moment that I missed my Film. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my digital, but there is certain feeling that film brings to your subjects. Of course you can imitate it with a little editing, but being in an instant gratification sort of mood, so I ordered me a new Holgamod. I love these fun camera's! I had almost forgotten how much I really heart Film...

By the way, I probably ran to the door a total of 3 times while writing this blog hoping against hope that Mr. UPS man would be standing there waiting to hand me my new camera addition...

Am I saying Bye Bye to digital?? should I bust out the Nikon F5 again?? Hmmm, I think digital and film should just be friends don't you?

I'm sure there are those of who who can't believe the blasphemies that just came out of my mouth, Film and Digital FRIENDS?? I'm just sayin, can't we all just get along :D ?

The Eternal Optimist

Thought's

My good friend Kara and I went to see 'The Time Travelers Wife' the other day. I read the book about a million years ago and had completely forgotten what happened. It's definitely one of those movies that touches you, at one point in the movie the theater was silent except for the sniffles from almost everyone fighting back tears... but failing miserably. It just gets you, it was filled with that kind of love that's so real (aka not perfect), but you still can't live without it kinda love??

A must see, bring a tissue.

Everyone need's a good laugh now and then

I know this video is a little dated. But today I really needed a good laugh, and this video never fails to deliver. I'm just glad that my dad didn't video tape me when I came home from getting my wisdom teeth removed...I definitely pulled a 'David.' I wont bore you with all the details, let's just say I vaguely remember hearing a little boy say, 'Is that what's going to happen to me mommy??" as my dad carried my twenty something self over his shoulder and down the stairs OUT of the dentist office.

Good Times

Don't do drugs!

Cammy

If I could pick the perfect client Cammy would definitely be it. Besides being making pregnancy look like a breeze, she is the most fun.
This hot mama was down for anything, bare chested in front of a crowded beach?? Sure no problem! (her idea btw) I think I was more nervous than she was.
And her son, how cute is he?
Cammy you made it look tooooo easy, call me as soon as that little bundle of joy makes her appearance. Thank you for a spectacular day!!!

A Day @ the Beach

Nothing puts your soul at ease like a little hike and a day at the beach. So I decided to combine the two,(a hike to the beach!) and the results were just that...

An excellent day
