out with a friend

This is Ms. Saffron. She luvs to hike, eat and take poops. She will always go out in any weather and doesn't complain about how cold her little paws get. I'm a big fan.










I can see you over there.

where's the needle?

Today, one glorious and sunny (and rare) fall afternoon, I set off on a stroll around the Seattle city center in search of the most unique (in my opinion of course) vantage of the space needle taken again by my second holga mod this year.

In the end, i was distracted by other various scapes and provocations. I did get one shot of the needle though...

'ol beautiful landscape.

yep. this is the reality of where we all live: cars, waterfalls, grass fields, detritus from old buildings, strip malls, roadkill, bikes, babies, clouds and that tried-and-true, everywhere you look, reliable like and old friend ...trash.

comment voulez-vous dire beau en français?

One of my best friends married a lovely lady, I'm also very fond of, this year outside of the beautiful city of Paris. Although I was not the "hired" photographer for the special event, I couldn't NOT take a few schnaps. come on - right!

Here's why you should always look up. even at the risk of bird poo in the eye. although some cultures believe the unpleasant experience - a lucky one.

images of summer

These shots have been collected over the years with my little toy cam. me likey.

saddle up

This year we were lucky enough to be in Europe twice: a wedding in Paris and then in Rome. We couldn't resist spending more than just a short weekend, when from Seattle, it takes...well, let's just say a full day and night to cross over all the states and the Atlantic sea. Of course, this journey is well worth the bad food and turbulence once you are standing in front of the Arc De Triumph or blissfully tunneling your way through a canopy of trees in the South of France on bikes; passing small rural villas and sampling the local fair along the way. Schucks -I must add it was a swell trip all around.

First we start in NYC. Anytime we fly over seas, it seems that this has been our international gateway. Jesse and I have turned this into a 3 night all inclusive binge of friends, food, shopping and bar hopping on bikes. I heart NYC.

I don't think anyone should visit Paris without having a feast of wine and cheese under the Eiffel with your friends. You can always steal a soccer ball from some locals playing near by. Try throwing the ball at the tower itself. I can almost promise you'll get a reaction similar to ours. Ah...memories.
beer and chocolate...hmmm



Jesse - you looked so excited.

a trip home.

This summer I traveled back to where I came from....the south; more specifically...South Carolina. Hot, humid and mosquito ridden - these pictures are only surface observations but I'll be making a long project out this as I see my family at least twice a year.
