in that moment





i don't ever want feed-the-cake-to-each-other photos. i always loved the kennedy one. a simple, real moment. yeah, smooshed cake is kinda cute, but it's overdone and not really funny anymore.

these are pretty nice as well:



calendars to help your life

I did receive my calendar in the mail, which has been really helpful because I framed it with the glass and used a dry erase marker to circle all my photo events. You can still buy it on sale at rifle paper co. for $10!!



I found another amazing calendar, if you are still looking, from House That Built Lars.



Also, this book Orchards, Fields and Gardens looks so beautiful. It's a collection of 21 different artists/authors who, "remember activities, people, and places that shape(d) their appreciation for small scale food production and processing."
I've been waiting for months for it to be republished and available to buy. Take a peek here to read more about it.

I just made this stew the other day from my martha stewart magazine and it turned out pretty good! super easy to make and it didn't even last till the following day.

Ingredients

* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 3 carrots, thinly sliced
* 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
* 1 medium yellow onion, diced medium
* Coarse salt and ground pepper
* 1 tablespoon tomato paste
* 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes
* 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
* 1 can (15.5 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
* 2 sprigs thyme

full recipe here.



photos of the day for the last couple of days... although I am skipping "fave photo of you" and "where you work". I posted them on instagram, but neither are interesting or worth re-posting.

paper n other stuff

months ago i posted this calendar in hopes of one day getting it. and today's the day! it's 50% off! woo. Now I can circle all the days throughout the year that i have a wedding or portrait to photograph and i won't get confused because it will all be on one page. (!)



and one day.... maybe i'll get these cute phone notes:

do you write in all caps?

THESE LAST FEW DAYS HAVEN'T BEEN MY FAVORITE IDEAS, SO I'M NOT HAPPY WITH MY PHOTOS. I TRIED THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX, WHICH IS WHY I LIKE THIS PROJECT.... AND I THINK, LOOKING BACK ON IT, I HAVE EVEN BETTER IDEAS FOR SOME OF THESE. MAYBE I'LL TRY THOSE OUT. THANKS FOR THE NEW IDEA!


handwriting: lately i've noticed some really nice chalkboard handwriting/art. i need to document that better.

maybe i'm just really into typography these days.



Things i hate to do: Saying goodbye to my dear friend. i had a difficult time walking out the door.



Drink: this is one i wasn't excited about and would like a chance to do over. i waited for ages to be seated at this arabic restaurant in Dearborn. Much worth it, but i spent lot of time looking at these drinks, or moreso, I watched the people in the reflection of the drinks.



Time: I like this time of day. i wonder how this building stays up, but maybe seeing the american flag through the doorway is like a sign or something. ha

I haven't been taking photos with my phone for the photo project. I take them with my DSLR and I don't have time to download the cards everyday and upload them, etc etc. So my "photo-of-the-day" is not daily. that's cool though, right? I still execute shots daily and that's what matters. I guess the instagram part of the project is mostly what I'm referring to. o well, anyway..

this first one is "something new" i just bought from wanderlust. The cutest, camera stamp that kind of matched the camera I used on my website. I have another camera stamp on it's way that resembles the leica more accurately.



Phone. I got these lil' phones at a flea market. The story is, I wanted them and didn't get them so my mom who knew this, came home with them for me later. what a sweet mom i have. There were four different vintage phones, a poodle and a hotdog-dog; a dachshund.




heart. It was valentines day but I wear this heart everyday so it was what i thought of first. drawn by my dear friend, fred many yrs ago. Tattooed on the same day i went to see bonnie prince billy play in ohio. may have been in 2000.



Here's something else new that I found today:

especially if the sun is out



yesterday's photo of the day was what makes me happy (below). today's, not as exciting, which you see above.. is my closet. fancy, huh? If I had one of those "dream" closets, I could probably get a more interesting and wider perspective but mine is the size of a shoebox.



yesterday's music was grizzly bear, white antelope, wu-tang (which doesn't make me happy, actually kinda annoys me) and this amazing blues singer who sounded amazing. i'll have to find out who that was again.



best kitties, best friends ever. <3
