7 lucky postcard views of vegas…

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

spent the week totally relaxing in Vegas. We pretty much did nothing. Ate, took naps, walked around; Enjoyed our little inside jokes with one another and rested the kind of rest you always wish for but never actually take.
I even waited to snap photos the last night we were there. But yes it was a [...]





a celebration…

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Spent the evening at Albert and Yvonne’s wedding last night.
A great evening, celebrating Love, with tons of food, drink and great cheer…
So happy and grateful Albert asked me to snap some reception shots to give our friend Anna (who shot the formal shots and the ceremony) a “drinking’ break
I love how the images [...]

The previous post was a glimpse of the what we did on our trip. And since I love images, and want to share more, I’m posting specifically about things I saw…
And after a little tweaking and going thru the whole lot of them, I’ve settled on a lucky 11 (which is about 2% of all [...]





so grand…

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Spent the last few days hoofing it around Phoenix and the Grand Canyon.

I’ve only ever flown over the canyon so seeing it with my own eyes was pretty amazing. We made the trip with Courtney’s family- and had a great time laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

gruntwork…

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

This week I was concepting label designs for a client, drafting initial concepts with another, and the most grunting of all, designing spreadsheets that will turn into practical daily guides for business operations. Not too inspiring, but it is a good feeling to know that people will [...]





more chairs…

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

decided to take shots of the rest of my chair collection.
So here are all of them. Obviously some can stand to be restained/finished but I honestly, pretty darned excited that the entire collection was aquired for around $250.
Now I just need interesting folks to be sitting in the chairs! When I’m photo-ing them…

sitting comfortably…

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Trekked to Ikea recently and within five minutes of being there, I found this chair:

The one I saw was actually in a light neon orange wool felt- and even in spite of the color, I was enamoured. But the $499 price tag was a bit too steep and I decided to pass.
I was actually disappointed [...]





hello 2009…

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

went to a low key party with close friends and ended up just relaxing all day. It was the perfect way to start off 2009.
2008 was a great year and I’m looking forward to the great adventures ahead…
I am a firm advocate of a balanced approach: one that honors the past (by acknowledging the good [...]
