I love journals! Especially graph paper journals, so I decided to created a travel journal using my photography from some of my favorite places AND of course graph paper. I'm really excited about them. Take a peek!
I hope to have a number of different journals available soon as well as notecard sets to go with them.

Salty Sweet?
OK, I love food and cooking and all that comes with it. My kids have taken to this "lovely" combo and I just don't get it. Is EVERYTHING better with bacon? OR are there some things that could just be left baconless?
bacon and whipped cream?!
Let me know your thoughts on this very controversial subject.

With all my Sympathies and Love
There was a horrible loss yesterday. He was older and always seems bigger than life to me. He was the big brother (and cute, btw) to my wonderfully funny, warm and genuine friend. In honor of him today, just remember the people that made a difference in your world whether they realized it or not.
A View from Heaven
For my dear friend MGP and her family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

When are you an Artist?
I've been doing things creatively for as long as I can remember. I know so many extremely creative people. Some make a living at it, most don't. I was just wondering... at what point are you an artist?
I have been doing photography for over 30 years. Seriously... more than 30!!! I've been paid, hired, educated to take cool photographs. I'm just now feeling like I can honestly call myself an artist. Why is that? Are artist just so self deprecating that it's just the way their nature is?

There is Never Just One Way...
For all of the budding artist and closet creatives... Stand up with your work and take ownership of it, tell the world that it was created by an amazing artist and that this is just the beginning. As for the closet creatives, step into the light and let your imagination go wild!!!

Food, Family and Fourty
My husband's family arrived this past weekend for a surprise birthday visit. In the process of figuring out what to prepare for a fun dinner at home for 8 people ranging in age from 4 to 73, I realized how important the right selection for your menu is. Long story short I settled on a FABULOUS clam recipe from Tom Colicchio, Think Like A Chef, Clams with pancetta, roasted tomatoes and greens. I also splurged on Blue Point Oysters on the half shell to eat in the kitchen (where everyone gathers anyway). Good Wine, rustic bread and great help from my brother-in-law.
We began eating and I sat back, took a good sip of my favorite South African wine, Chocolate Block, and watched the interaction. There was fun stories, bantering, impromptu dances performed and bedtime curfews completely BLOWN! The food was such a wonderful facilitator to this evening. I loved it, and the food, and my family.
The weekend was then topped off with a surprise 40th bowling party. I can't express how much good friends mean to me. Thank you to all that helped pull it off!

PhotoSWAP - My contribution
You may remember a posting a few days about about my participation in a film project called PhotoSWAP 2011. I included Inessa's images (my partner) well I just got to see MY pictures. These were taken on vacation in Sanibel Island with my family. Shot on a 30 year old Canon AE-1 Program on FP400 B&W with a 50mm 5.6 lens with a red filter to bump up the contrast. As a whole I'm pleased with the outcome, although I realized how badly my camera needs a good cleaning. Please post a comment and let me know what you think of them.
