sounds good to me.

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Lately I’ve been getting into my summer chill music list.
I mixed together a 17 song playlist that basically represents one of my favorite parts of summer. The playlist is 2008’s collection that describes that part of the day when the heat finally settles down and a gentle breeze quietly sneaks in and lulls everyone to [...]





A day at the park…

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Spent the morning cheering on my brother in law Craig in a sprint Triathlon that he competed in. It was a blast to see all the athletes and to recall back from my running days the excitement and camaraderie of such an event. Although it was a grey day it was perfect weather- Not too [...]

celebrating…

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

where did all that time go? I looked at my last post and realized that an entire week went by – what have I been doing?
I spent last week celebrating and catching up with some really great friends. I was reminded about generosity, humor, good food and family(the kind you choose). We spent some time [...]





the conclusions:

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

A couple of posts back I had talked about how I’ve been internally wrestling over direction and focus and things I want to accomplish. All things that my birthday brings about and forces me to think about.
But you know, I’m tired of being too serious. I’m tired of strategizing the heck out of my life. [...]





yum to the senses.

Monday, July 14th, 2008

had an incredible birthday dinner at kurtwood farms.
My sister and Brother-in-law have attended a few of the weekly meals held here and have been raving about it for a while.
Here’s the skinny: pretty much everything other than the wine, and coffee beans was raised on the farm. Eating as close to local as you can [...]





age.

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

today, in between having fun and seeing friends I’m thinking about getting a year older. and being the philosopher/analytical type self I am going thru the list of things…
Thinking and overthinking gets me feeling overwhelmed. But today as I am enjoying it all (even all this heat!) I will think about what my favorite self-help/writer/philosopher [...]





the first results…

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

got my new scanner in the mail and have been spending the evening playing around.
The first one is my first official medium format photo. I caught it in Houston while waiting for a flight out. A lot easier catching a shot like this when you are using a waist level viewfinder.
I love the square format…

don’t be afraid…

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

of making mistakes.
A few months ago someone broke into my car- smashed the window and stole my ipod.
That morning I sighed. Did not get angry but called a mobile window replacement guy. No prob. $150 and we’re back on the road.Until he opened it up and found that one of two critical pieces was broken [...]





a day on the lake…

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

spent the day out on Seattle’s Lake Union where we ate, drank, and napped the entire day waiting for the fireworks show.
It’s one of my favorite annual traditions- being out on the lake with good people, laughing and enjoying it all…
below are a few of my favorite shots of our perspective. You can probably tell [...]
