Last night I was working at my part-time waitressing job and was nearing the end of my shift. Hands full of glassware, I tip-toed through the busy kitchen and made my way to the dish pit. I have put dirty glasses in the dish rack thousands of times before, but this time was different. As…
I’ve been thinking about you a lot today, old friend. I don’t let myself think about you too often, it still makes me sad. I’m scared of driving down the road and seeing a Wheaten Terrier happily trotting alongside his owner. All you Wheaten’s have the same sweet eyes and jovial disposition. I’m not sure…
Challenge: Through. Often framing your photo’s composition through something else is the best thing you could do to it. It gives the viewer even more context into what your eye saw in that moment in time. Sometimes it modifies the entire tone or meaning of the photo. Share a picture that means THROUGH to you! The two…
Lunches are packed, laundry is folded, and my alarm is set to 4:30 am. I guess this means vacation is officially over for me. Being away from Topsail Island, my family, and the fresh sea air has given me a serious case of post-vacation blues. I went for a run today to try and get…
This past Tuesday Isaac and I went to the inlet on Topsail Island. We spent about 2 hours walking around the empty beach; he skipping rocks and me photographing the wildlife. My favorite part was stumbling upon hundreds of crabs digging in the sand!! It was amazing. The beach was so quiet that you could…
SCUBA Diving in the Cenotes of Mexico. I love the contrast of the perfectly blue water with our silhouettes. I wouldn’t go skydiving for $10,000 or a life-time supply of frozen yogurt. Nope, wouldn’t do it. Why would anybody strap on a little backpack with a MAYBE-working parachute inside and jump out of an airplane? It’s ludicrous.…
Anybody who owns a Mac computer knows about Photobooth. It is a program that allows you to distort your image in the webcam and snap pictures. Sure Photobooth is fun for humans, but even more fun to throw your already ugly pets in front of. [Just kidding, I love you Teddy] These are bizarre photos,…
I love vacations because you can indulge in well, everything! When my dad’s side of the family is together, we indulge in Texas Hold ‘Em until the wee hours of the morning. My aunt Po, who recently built the beach house pictured, even created a room called, you guessed it, The Texas Hold ‘Em Room!…
Today’s photo challenge: Down. We spend a lot of time looking ahead, looking from left to right before we cross the street, looking into the sky for Superman, but not a lot of time looking down. What do you see? One thing that is consistent throughout all of my photography is feet. I love feet. Not in a fetish way…
Remember my Weekly Photo Challenge: Regret post? I shared pictures of a one year old binging on birthday cake and the regret that it later caused. Well, last night I had my own binge fest. Much like little Nolan, I also cried. Between the hours of 3pm and 9pm I ate a large serving of…
