Fun Stuff
There are so many gems in Seattle but one of the best is Capitol Hill’s Oddfellow’s Cafe. Here you can sip delicious cocktails and enjoy their rustic and flavorful food. Last night I dove right in with an Old Fashioned, Meat & Cheese Plate, and Watermelon Salad. And while I didn’t go for dessert on […]
When I’m tossing and turning about something I look for a few comforts. Typically it’s flowers, music, and wine. You can’t really go wrong there. Thankfully this time my little lens project is on tap so I played with backgrounds, styling, and time of day to see how things would pan out at 50mm 1.8. […]
One of my favorite childhood films was “Annie”. It keeps getting re-freshes and I can’t contain myself. I see them all. The songs are too cute, the story is so sweet, and I love seeing how it gets interpreted and reinvented. Sia sings one of the songs in the latest version and they made a […]
Back on the smoothie train and loving it! Here’s another spicy one to really get you going in the morning! Thanks to the Free People Blog for sharing this one. Great challenge for me to really start seeing what I have to work with around the apartment (light, plates, backgrounds, surfaces) and where I can […]
So this documentation thing is is kind of addicting. I’m having a great time with it though so the experimentation continues. Again, with my 50mm at 1.4. I suppose the more I test the more comfortable I’ll feel with every option. Today I played with some different backgrounds for the same subject (coffee beans!) and […]
I guess when you’re motivated there’s no controlling it so why bother trying right? I love smoothies and for some reason I fell into a rut where the blender just sat in the corner of my counter and gathered dust. Last weekend I watched a food photography workshop and started to really think about light […]
In honor of my newest addition, the full-framed Canon 5D Mark III, I’ve decided to start a little series where I play with my lenses and have a bit fun with different f-stops. Today, I started with Canon’s 50mm 1.4 lens. I shot everything at 1.4 and went for a soft series of shots with […]
In what might amount to one of the biggest leaps forward in my photo career I have upgraded to a full frame camera. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to get started. The difference from my previous crop frame 7D to the 5d Mark III is tremendous. My lenses will now be reflective of […]
How excited am I to try my first candle from P.F. Candle Co. in LA? Ahhh so excited!! The packaging was thoughtful, there was a hand-written message on the card, and they sent a couple of tealights with other scents to try. Overall, a really stellar product experience and I’m encouraged to try out more […]
As the clock ticked past 4pm today a co-worker strolled by my desk and plopped down one of my favorite summer delights, grapefruit beer. There was a wrap party going on in our kitchen and he snagged the last one to surprise me. I have to say it was just the perfect way to finish […]
