I loved Jose Villa's recent blog post about his love of film photography. Jose's work is compeletely unique and I hope he inspires more photographers to use film again for it's beautiful, timeless look.

love this photo... I still use film sometimes but there are no great places to develop it anymore... ;)

I loved it too. His work, as well as the work of several other film photographers I've recently discovered, has in fact inspired me to teach myself film. It's definitely a learning curve but I'm so excited by the possibilities and already enjoy the photography process so much more! Awesome blog. Glad to have found it :)

good friends

January 29, Miscellaneous

I had the most amazing lunch yesterday with two of my favorite photographer friends, Jenny & Heather. Everytime I get together with these girls, there seems to be no sense of time, we could spend all day talking about every possible thing. I am so thankful for these genuine, supportive, lovely friends that remind me of why I love what we do.

And one of my favorite shots...ever.

Heather says:

Oh my, so sweet! I love losing track of time with you. I was smiling all day thinking of all our funny little topics:) I don't have words to describe how much I love this portrait, it's perfect in every way. I fell asleep last night feeling inspired and looking at a wonderful B&W photography art book and dreaming about returning to the darkroom with B&W negatives of Ella and Gibson, what do you think?!!

Chickens, baby goats and a dog.

January 26, Miscellaneous

I had always imagined myself living on a farm. Spending the days tending to the animals and garden, the evenings on the front porch with a cup of tea and a good book. That life is not realistic for our on-the-go family but someday, maybe someday....

we'll have something like this...

Goodbye Max.

January 11, Miscellaneous

Today has been a very sad day for us, it's our last day with our dog Max. We brought him home when he was a baby and have had a wonderful time raising him. What a great learning experience we've had during our year with him. His daily unconditional love and loyalty will be missed the most. We're excited for him to meet his new family tomorrow, they are going to offer him the love and attention that his beautiful soul longs for.

We will miss Max romping through the surf on the beach then running toward us, shaking the salt water off his furry coat. He is a darling, happy boy!
