spending the evening at the studio, working on a scrap project inspired by this: the ones we love.
In so many ways this simple project has stirred something huge in me.
Just the simple visual goodness and meaning behind this project has got me thinking about things; about simplicity and a redesign of my blog and projects; [...]

To those of you who don’t know- there are 4 siblings in my family (Girl, Boy, Boy, Girl). I’m number 2.
My little sister, who we used to tease (to no end) that she was adopted because she was so much younger than us is turning 21 this year and is going thru that crazy 18 [...]

I’m not sure that I like the fact that it is snowing at the end of March in the Seattle area (It doesn’t snow very often around here…)
But I do like the fact that this morning I am actually accomplishing a few things even though its a day off from [...]

I’ve decided that I need to start adding a little bit of discipline to my life. Particularly a little bit of discipline to my blogging life.
Because honestly, I’ve been a bit lazy and its felt a bit tedious for me. So what I’ve decided to do is post a specific weekly post about “stuff”.

Last summer, Candice Stringham blogged a post where she was answering questions about photography.
It was my first encounter with the blog:

Now my formal art background is in fashion and so this blog fulfills so many of my personal creative desires. It is amazing to me that he is able to capture such inspiring and [...]

one of the first things I did was take more pictures…
It must be a good sign when the first thing I do after a (superfun!) weekend capturing images at CKU Chicago, is bring my camera along/out for a makeshift Sunday family lunch.
While at CKU, I had brought out the iphone [...]

Made it to the windy city and spent the afternoon mingling seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones. These are always fun times for me and I’m excited to be here…
The best was having a “meeting of the minds” with Ali as we flew over. It was the first time we’ve actually been on the same [...]

Spent a fun weekend in Boise with the gang being obnoxious and acting much, much younger than our ages.
Two full days at home than its off to Chicago with Ali for CKU!
Totally excited but probably won’t have time to breath up until the plane takes off….
To living full lives and of [...]
