Video Application

There was a marketing outreach for the "best job in the world" to get people interested in the Australia Barrier Reef. The job really did exist and if I won I would have got $100,000 to stay in a nice house on an island in exchange for one blog a week. Sounded right up my alley. To apply, I had to make a video application. With the help of genius photographer (and now videographer) Brian Lee, and his editor this is what we got. The only problem is that it wasn't completed until the last day and the website server was too full to accept it. I guess over 30,000 people applied so they had a strict deadline and warned people not be last minute. Oh well, guess I won't be moving to Australia. It was super fun anyway. What do you think of my acting debut?

Eyelashes

It was my photography goal to get a close-up of Taco's eyelashes.  Here they are!  Isn't he sweet?

Eduardo

I have been practicing with my new camera. This is my favorite photo so far. This house belongs in a fairy tale.


Computer, meet Eduardo. We meet once a week and exchange languages. He pretends to understand what I am saying in Spanish and I (sometimes) correct his pronunciation. Mostly, we just talk and laugh a lot.

Taco's House....

Is really just a cardboard box, but he loves going in there. I think it makes him feel safe from the big bad humans who repeat stupid words really loudly over and over close to his face. The only problem with his house is that he has chewed a big hole in the bottom of it.

An ode to my best friends

Jessica!

I love my girlfriends more than anything. I don't think I could get through this thing called life without them. Every single one of them! I am fortunate to have too many photos of friends to post them all. Thank you all for bringing joy, laughter, compassion, inspiration and love into my life.

Super Football

I liked Brandon's Canon G10 so much I bought my own G9 that is one year older. I never took a class or learned about photography, but I think it is really fun. My biggest problem is I have the patience of a four year old, photography is helping me over come that. These are the best of the 20,000 photos I took this weekend in attempts to learn!
Our good friends the Bowes invited us over for the Super Bowl. Thier house is so cozy and warm, I always end up falling asleep and yesterday was not different. The fireplace just puts me in a trance.


This is there lovely daughter Austen. I can't believe how fast kids grow. It blows my mind.

We also visited our friend Chris this weekend. He is building his own plane! Here, he is giving me a demonstration of how a screw works.
