Re-restart

So, I'm trying this again, thanks to some gentle prodding from my friend Luis and some very strong prodding from my own self. I've redone the format a little, the pictures are bigger so you can, you know, see what's going on. Maybe I'll write a little more, too. Maybe.



This was from 7/30/09, so I guess its a little old by now, but I love these images. The kid is my cousin Ben. Doesn't he have nice hands? I love his thumbs.

Last year for Christmas I made Ben a photo calendar with pictures of animals. While we were walking on the beach he told me, "Centa, you know how you can make money taking pictures? You should make calendars, because you make really nice ones. You can make them about all kinds of things, like you could make a beach one or even one just about rocks." So these pictures are for our calendar about rocks.

5/11/09

Today was a sorta weird day. Spent a lot of time embroidering onto my weaving (see above) and watching star trek (also see above). Shake and bake for dinner, really tasty even if that is embarrassing to admit.

5/10/09

There are only 7 images here because after the last one was taken the grill lit on fire! We were ok, but those tasty burgers were ruined.

5/9/09

Yesterday I slept too much and then watched a Japanese horror movie that ended up having a heavy-handed pro-life message. I want my time back.

5/7/09

The flower is from a squash plant in my garden. I already have several squash growing! I am excited about the garden.

Also, I made chocolate covered strawberries! These are amazingly easy to make and everyone is verrrry impressed when you bring them to something (like a final critique in studio photography). Want a recipe?

Restart

I unintentionally slacked off on this project, so I'm restarting it now! This is from last weekend, which was a good weekend. This weekend has been kind of sluggish so far.



Did I mention that I am engaged? To Jay, even? (see above grillin-dude) This partially explains why I have slacked off in the 12-photos department. Planning a wedding is crazy! Why knew that people were going to care about the color of your napkins? (THEY DO.)

For those of you who care about these things, we are thinking next June, Madonna Inn.
