Yes, I'm One of 'Those' People...
/Who blogs about their cats... and that means occasional feline furriness photo opps... Here's Merki soaking up the sun. Such a life! :)
Here she is 'soakin' in the sink....
Twice the Fun!
/I have wanted a tandem bike for.... ever. For as long as I can remember. Since the Double Mint commercials, since I saw one at the Walton Trail Co. (remember that place?), since... well... you get the idea. Plus, how cool would it be for photo shoots? (Engaged couples... that means YOU!)
A few months ago I bought one online, but it arrived damaged and so I sent it back. :(
BUT! This past weekend while on my way to shoot a wedding, I passed a garage sale with a tandem treasure! With no time to stop, I frantically dialed my mom (garage sale maven and bargaining queen!) and begged her to drop whatever she was doing and get the bike (my bike).
She was happy to help (she IS the best....). Too big to fit in my truck, my dad delivered it this morning. I am in heaven!
I love the retro font... complete with little 'stars.' Cute! This baby is the real deal... I love it!
Mother's Day
/I actually got away from my computer (first time in longer than I can remember!) and managed to visit not only both Emir & I's mothers, but also both of my grandmothers -a great day!
This is the daisy we brought to Emir's mom. I loved how it looked in the window light of their dining room. Beautiful!
Much love to you all!
Self-Portraits at the Airport
/Nothing like a point-and-shoot and a captive subject to give you a little inspiration... Here we are awaiting our winged chariot to the Windy City.
Sometimes you don't have to look far for interesting views....
Point-and-Shoot Chicago!
/7am in Chicago's Lincoln Park. This was one of the most gorgeous spring days in all of my mentally recorded history. Perfection, I tell ya! (Except for the part a short while later where my laptop completely let me down!!!)
Sunbeam glory!
My obsession with red doors continues.
24 Inches of Glory
/I broke down and finally upgraded a bunch of computer 'stuff' recently. At the top of the list, was my need for a monitor that would actually improve my life. Ha! Emir set it up for me while I was in Texas teaching Photoshop. Glorious!
On a random side note... did you know that the Austin, TX airport provides LIVE MUSIC Monday - Friday???? How awesome is THAT?
From the Garden
/The other day while feverishly working at my desk, Emir walked in the door with this tulip he plucked from our yard. I LOVE the colors! :) Thanks sweet thing!
I Love My Job!
/How sweet is this? (click on the image to enlarge)
On the Job...
/Emir recently came with me to assist at a wedding where he shot these pics of me on the job (nice work love!). I think they're kinda funny... what a windy day!
Up...
Down...
Over....
Up...
Down... what a workout! :)
New Toy!
/It's always fun to get a new photographic toy (err... I mean 'tool'). In this case, it's a Lens Baby 2.0. It just arrived yesterday... so I took it with me to my client meeting this morning (in my office away from my office... aka: Scooter's Coffee House :). It's kinda tricky to work with (you focus it by basically squeezing it like an accordion!), but super fun to use... and I love the results!
Downtown Lincoln, NE on a gorgeous Wednesday morning!
