WWD--the symphony

this post is certainly delayed, and I haven't put my stamp on the pictures, but here they are. I love abravanel hall. Marti has great season's tickets (which I not-so-secretly covet). I had forgotten how great it is in there. She told me they do tours, so I'm looking at going again during the day and doing some nice shots.

lack of work

FYI:

my tripod plate is in Virginia. Lack of sunshine= lack of photographs.

i'm bummed.
hoped you're not too bummed.

it will be here by monday... i hope.

Wednesday--the last of virginia images

these definitely do not match in terms of style, but I need to get the rest of them up from when we were in DC. I got my chi, ka, soul, whatever, back in DC. I'm photographically happy.

wednesday project

Just a few more from my parents house. I love his face in the bottom one. That is his most usual look. He is always looking at me that way, before smiles before tears, always.

ITROW-- chocolate

nothing says feminine like lace... and nothing combats everything female like chocolate, eh, right?

(p.s. I REALLY love the black and white one. it was not what I was going for when I shot these, but it pops for me. I'm happy with the other ones, and they will stay part of the project, but that one was my fun alternative process image)

wednesday project--so big!

Took advantage of the 3 nice windows in the guest bedroom in my parents house and caught this. Not sure which version I like more. He has grown A TON since being out in DC.

ITROW-- enough eggs

Look at this picture, and then read this.

This is quite possibly one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. Written so eloquently and perfectly. I had fallen behind in my journaling months ago, and I do not know that I would have remembered this later to write it down. But it overtakes me now. I know He has a hand in our lives. I am so thankful.

notes on the image, as it pertains to the project ITROW: I photographed these eggs because baking/cooking kitchen is central for many women in the world. Growing up myself, and for many I know, the kitchen is a gathering place for family. Also, I knew after reading Carolyn's words, that I needed to commemorate for myself that experience. The dish they are in was a 25-cent garage sale purchase. Just the cutest little 50's-era ramekin. I don't have it anymore, seeing as it was broken while doing the dishes, but for me, so much in this image shows parts of my life-- garage sale-ing instead of brand new so we can be frugal and more generous in our offerings, eggs to remember God loves me, the background from my BFA to remind me that I need to consciously be searching for true beauty that is not lost in translation. This might be my favorite picture I took in 2008.
