Wedding Weekend

What a Weekend.

Two main goals were to take tons of pictures and have a lovely time celebrating with friends and OH SNAP did I ever accomplish both.  I think my total on pictures was 400.  Snapping, snapping, snapping, breath, eat, drink, snap snap snap.

The best part about taking some many pictures is that I will remember this weekend forever - even the (dance party) parts I don't recall so well...The worst part about taking so many pictures is that nearly 1/2 of them suck and needed to be deleted.  But I did get a few that will warm my heart and make me laugh for years to come.  And that's what it's all about right?*

ps. *Although I love my point and shoot, I will be upgrading to a real, big girl camera very soon.  Thanks mom!

You've Got the Love.

This song is pure, freaking heaven on earth.  Can't wait for my day off to sit and draw and paint, sip on a dark and stormy as I listen to Flo lay it dowwwn.

I Hear That

There's nothing wrong with being happy when life is sweet.  Grateful, rather.  But, as always, haters gon hate.  I love this pair prints to put them right in their place.  Get them here.

I am a busy little bee as of late, being social (winter hibernation is OVER), riding my bike allll of the time and being the most annoying little photographer I can be, which is quite a challenge during these lazy, humid days.  I am super psyched for a special wedding weekend coming up...!  Everything should be gorgeous and my fingers are already crossed for no rain (please please please Ohio, no...more...rain...).   Prepare for a photo overload.

...And we're back?

          

OK OK I am back.

The boy is traveling cross country to scoop up a friend, so Sir Kittles and I are left to our own, uninterrupted devices. We spent a few hours outside napping in the sun, lightly flicking spiders off our legs, drinking a random beer and snapping away. That scaredy cat LOVES being in the grass. Loud noises aside, when I take him outside he goes from fat house kitty to rather primal and wild-cat-like. He's a great muse and I must admit the color of his eyes looks great against his dark fur and the abundant greenery.

Anyway, first my iPhone died. (I love that thing by the way.) Then my camera battery died. Then I ran out of film. I told you it was a photography day! So now we're inside for further (cat) napping and uploading of images. And the essence of staying on track, here's where I hop of said blog wagon and am off to upload and revive my Flickr account. YIP!

ps. Here are some of my favorite photography blogs are probably the inspiration that got me from "I want to take more photographs" to "I am taking more photographs."  Peep game, you will not be disappointed:

svpply love

a random, little snap shot of my svpply stuff (aka ultimate wantlist).  some how these just fit so nicely together.

(my) studio space

having a place to go to and create is like the most phenomenal thing ever.  i'd like to thank the boy for helping me build my dream drawing desk in my dream studio.  and for letting me be weird encouraging me to be creative.

what's your favorite space to make stuff in?

you are an artist because you create (it's true!)

rock your benevolent-minded, creative mojo and donate art for a great cause! small works for change (genius) is a community-based organization accepting little works of art from ANYONE to sell for $25 each.  all proceeds will go to a charity of your choice, score!

submissions must be 8x10 and two-dimensional and need to be dropped off or mailed in by May 21st. those are the only rules folks!!

i'm gonna whip up something cute tonight, then shove it into the helpful hands of the USPS before it's too late.

Mural Love // Supakitch and Koralie

david dimichele

i love these giant photographs of small scale dioramas by david dimichele.  they're lit so perfectly and look so atmospheric and heavy.  like a weird dream you might wake up from and go "...ehh, what the f..?"

i love my mom

happy mother's day momma!  we love and miss you!

love, your kid and your grandcat

the freshest

be still my heart...seriously, when this image finally loaded only my screen in all it's glory, i think my heart actually stopped. those...shoes...are PHENOM.

back in the day, about two and a half years ago, i had a mild addiction to sneakers.  a medium addiction.  luckily i had a few credit cards, so said shoes were eventually delivered to my door, 3-7 days later.  sadly, my excitement usually came in the form of finding/displaying fresh pairs, whilst rarely actually wearing them.  i don't know if it was the 25-year old me lacking confidence or the fact that i was afraid to get them dirty or what.  but i didn't do any of my pairs justice and eventually i sold them all to a resale shop (yesterday).

anyway, i can feel an intense desire to begin to pay tribute to sweet sneakers once owned, by starting up a new kicks collection with these all day i dream about soccer pair. and since i no longer care what people think about me you might actually see these pieces of art (yes, i said art) on my smartwool covered feet.
