jack & sky

These two little beings light me up from within. As far as I'm concerned, my brother won the lottery. The addition of this little monkey and little bean are the best events to happen to our family. To know them, is to absolutely love them. I can't stop smiling just looking at these photos. Pure bliss.

Do you ever have one of those nights where your cheeks hurt from laughing so much? Me too, everytime I'm with this incredible group of women. How lucky am I?

August Break - check in

I've just past the halfway point of the August Break. It has been a lot more challenging than I first anticipated. It sounds easy enough - just blog photos daily and submit up to four photos a day to the August Break flickr group. No rules. For myself, as a challenge, I wanted to keep the process organic and take fresh photos daily. I realize that with the busyness of life - commuting, working, cooking, working out, socializing....sometimes it takes some sleep deprivation to keep on top of things. But so far, so good. One thing I have loved about this process is that I am always scanning my environment for the unique, the beautiful. The process keeps me in the moment and keeps me on my toes. I am having so much fun going through all the photos of the 400+ photographers participating in the project. I think in the next half I will try to take more portraits of friends/family/strangers to help push through some camera-shyness, or let's face it, overall shyness. There are many photographers who belong to 365 groups on Flickr - pools designed to keep you shooting everyday - all year. That might be a good 2011 project. WE WILL SEE. But for now, I'll just tackle August. xo

Squam

It finally arrived. I am blissed out pouring through this book. One day I'm going to make it to a Squam Art Workshop. So many of my favourite writers, photographers & artists have collaborated to create the first journal - to give readers a sneak peek of what life at Squam is all about. Painting, photography, yoga, cooking, sculpture, acting, music - you name it, there's a class for you. For four days, you get to share living space and playing space with like minded artists - housed in cabins or cottages in a jaw-droppingly beautiful setting. There are over 30 classes to fill your days with - you can piece together your own perfect creative itinerary. What would you like to learn?

for the love of red...Aug 15
