out of curiosity

who do i look most like? mom (left), aunt peg (right).
i see both of them in me --but i've been told since i was little i should have been peggy's daughter. either way, i'll take it. i think they are both beautiful.

slc bungalow

if all i needed (long-term) was a charming 2 bdr cottage, i'd snatch this one up in a second.

amanda's hair

i'm going through my cousin's wedding pictures (i shot in 2003 or 2004?) for the wedding album i am finally putting together... and wanted to share these pictures of her hair.. i loved it.

*emera camera bags

brilliant nathiya -who owns pineapple seed- just launched the smartest line.... photo bag/purses! having to lug around my camera backpack actually prevents me from taking my camera with me... but this *emera bag safely holds my camera with padded velcro dividers. it makes it easy to grab your camera quickly and safely disguises your precious equipment. yeah, nathiya!

happy anniversary

to my parents who have been married 29 years.

love you much!


1980-somethin'. here with our horse Patches.

the diana

my friends bought me a diana --and here's my first roll. it's a shame how long it took me to shoot 16 exposure.. each one just seemed like the subject needed to be special enough. thrilled something turned out.

Take this class!

The Art Weekend has been selling so well! Thank you for everyone who has registered! One class I felt didn't get enough attention was Digital Painting... so Mike created a new example of what you can learn to do in this class. The illustration below was based of my picture of Jane. (Now i'm trying to figure out a way to take it myself.)





Use Photoshop to paint without the mess or materials! Mike will teach you how to use Photoshop's tools to digitally paint your artwork. Bring a scanned original drawing to color, or use a drawing that will be provided. A wacom tablet is preferred but not required. Laptop with Photoshop CS4 installed required. (Free trial download available at adobe.com. Please do not download until the night before class.) Taught by Mike Loveland. This class will be offered Friday, August 14 from 4:00pm - 5:50pm. Click here to sign up.

introducing twine

happy about the launch of the new site twine.. especially because of this cityscape stamp set. (check our their sea and winter scape stamp sets too... very cute)

stolen

my flash was stolen in my home after teaching one of my photo classes. big bummer. i bought a new one, but it won't be here until next week. today i'm in utah --do any of you utahns have this one i can borrow tonight and tomorrow? i'll love you forever.

*update* thank you for all your kind comments and help. loads of thanks to bryndee for bailing me out!
