i couldn't resist

these are kind of old, but i just got this roll of film back and i had to put them up. i loved her sad face in the top one.

a little late but...

I just wanted to congratulate my sister Emily on the birth of her son, Charlie John. He was born about 2 weeks ago. A wee 7 lbs 2 oz.

this is fun.

reminiscing

I recently went through some old boxes of college work I've done. What a project-- I have so much junk. I've been trying to bring some of my work from the dead and hopefully showcase some of it on my site-- that we're using every spare minute to redesign.

I went through old folders, negatives, and loads of photography assignments I've done in the past. It brought back a weird nostalgic feeling to re-read some of them... remembering the long hours I spent trying to fulfill them. Hours and hours of lectures, discussions, and critiques only to come up with what? I always told myself in college that there are two types of photography that I didn't want to do: weddings, and family portraits. Oops, looks like I failed that one! Okay, I guess I don't mean 'failed', because it has been a creative outlet for me... but I often think what my college professor would think if she saw me now. funny.

Anyway, some snippets of a contact sheet caught my eye as well... it looks as though I've had a fondness for blue skies and farm animals for a while.

i love the film

It's' always fun when you find an old roll of film not knowing where it came from... like this roll I recently developed. Come to find out that it's from a trip we took over a year ago to southern Utah, taken with my holga camera. This camera never fails to impress me with it's simplicity and unpredictability. The imperfections are what I love about it.

oh, and those little black dots in the distance on the top picture are buffalo! sweeet.

our weekend...

me n' v.

pretty...

I had to replace the last post with something prettier...

not for the faint of heart...

Note to self: holding baby up above your head soon after feeding may cause projectile vomiting.

First off, I apologize for how gross this is... I really do. But I had to post these pictures because this is what my life is like as a new mom-- at times. I could just keep posting lovely pictures of her, in fact I probably will, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity to show how funny this was. I took these myself seconds after she puked up all over me. I loved her face afterwards, like she was telling me "I told ya so, mom".

P.S. please excuse my afternoon pajama's... it's Friday and I'm tired, whew.

Have a great weekend everyone.

*i had to remove that picture... it was grossing me out
