I'm Back!

My house is still a good month away from being completely back in order, but at least I got my images restored and a new computer. (set up on my dining room table!)

I just went to Lexington, KY this weekend for my cousin's wedding. The drive up was gorgeous. I wanted to pull over every 5 seconds to take pictures, not very easy when you're going 90 mph! I did manage to get a few though so here's a few I've worked on so far.









btw- My etsy shop is back up and running now!

new work

I got this idea in my head last week to do something with poppies. (as if I haven't explored the wizard of oz themes enough.) I did a drawing in my sketchbook for the sketchbook project and overlayed it a few times in this picture. I think I might try this again soon.


poppies will make them sleep available @ my etsy shop.

Just played around with some random images for this one, but I like how it turned out. I love when that happens.

carmine haze

new painting

I just finished my first non-encaustic painting I've done in about four years. Wow has it really been that long? Oh, how I've missed it. There's just something you get from painting that I will never be able to get from photography. I need both in my life to feel complete.


Strawberry Milk

It's mixed media on masonite.

more polaroids

a few more polaroid shots to share. I need more film...





I also have a few shots in the new issue of F-Stop Magazine.

sx-70

I finally got some polaroid film to try out my newly acquired sx-70 and it works! Here's a few of the shots I've taken. I've been trying to conserve my film.

daily collages

Started doing some more daily collages to get inspired and motivated.

new pieces

I just added a new photo to my shop.

I've also added a fan page on facebook for my photography. You can click facebook icon to the left to become a fan.



thinking of adding this too:

I'm in print!

I just got an advanced copy of my brother's new book. I did the author's photo for it. I love the design of the book. It looks like a vintage library book and even has the taped on coding on the spine and black page edges. It will be out in stores 09/09/09.

I wanna dance

Some new pieces....I added the first one to my shop.

forgot

I forgot to post the cover of his book, so here it is:


will be available at amazon

book portrait

My brother's first novel is being published right now and is coming out 09/09/09 :) He asked me to take his portrait for his author's photo. It's so funny working with someone who hates to have their picture taken. I had to take over 350 photos of him to get some descent shots. I just found out his publishers love my shots. Not sure which one they will pick yet. Here's a few of my favs:












I don't think this one will work for the book, I just love this shot.

I'll post when I know which one they pick. (btw-his book is called Scorch Atlas, he also released a novella in February called Ever.)

one more

One more wisteria post. I went to pick my husband up from getting his car fixed and as we were pulling out a noticed a huge section of wisteria covering a fence behind dunkin donuts. (it's always in the grossest places...) Anyways, I immediately went home and got my camera. It should be gone by next week. I wish it lasted longer.


at my shop

ranunculus

I went to trader joe's yesterday and they had some gorgeous ranunculus for only $6. Of course I had to buy the pink ones. (last of the flowers for awhile, I promise.)

my favorite time

My favorite two weeks of spring are happening right now. Wisteria is in bloom and it is creating a gorgeous lavender canopy all over town (especially on the side of the highway.)

spring fever

The weather has been perfect lately and I went out and shot some beautiful cherry blossom trees today. Here's a few of my favorites. Hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend.
