and don’t forget to get out in nature! it’s so healing!!!
just a lil’ reminder 😉
and also, i had the best intentions of updating this blog more…
and i still do…
and i will again…
and i thank you all for your patience and for showing up, even when my presence is a little more vague and sporadic than usual as of late…
and it truly means so much to me that you continue to choose to follow along in my journey, and read my blog, and engage…
and i’m thinking of my sweet cousin tony today… ❤
and that is all… for now…
where i live, there are many trees that often block the horizon line at sunset. i have been eager to get to a good vantage point in the evening to watch the sun setting.
recently i took a stroll with a friend at a park nearby that overlooks the city. it was a lovely summer evening and the hike to the top was worth it.
we captured a few images while also getting immersed in the beauty of the evening.
i love this picture because it looks like there is a line dividing the sky… do you see it?!
i love jumping shadow pictures.
fun times.
do you know what a grain elevator is?! i didn’t until the time i was visiting indiana, fotographing a wedding… a very special wedding. my cousin, M married his lady, E and and her family has a farm – they are bonafide farmers! experiencing their farm first hand was such an absolute joy! mister T is one proud owner, and he knows his farm in and out. from hydraulic garage doors to magic hoses to ceiling snow, the place is just loaded with charm that encourage memories for years.
as i said yesterday, one of my favourite moments of all time was spent on this farm on that wonderfully warm midwest day in mid may. the rain came crashing down out of nowhere, but the sun didn’t have time to really leave so the air had that yummy glare to it that you just knew was going to create the most amazing rainbow once the clouds parted…
double rainbow!
my biggest fan anthony wanted to know the story behind yesterday’s “favourtie moment” shot. here it is. i walked through “attic winter wonderland” i called it – insulated craziness balance-beamed between one world and the next… we get to the end and mister T tells me to turn left and “climb in”… essentially, i am inside this box, just on the other side…
see that little box? i’m in one just like it… i’m just on the other side of the barn. 🙂 so after we got out of this barn, we walked over to the grain elevator. i was beyond scared, but also knew i really wanted to do this…
the grain elevator i walked up looks nothing like the ones in the wikipedia fotos… this was basically a giant ladder… and i kind of have this phobia of heights, and also a phobia of ladders – so this was a big feat for me! Continue reading
well, you may have guessed this would be another blog about new york city… i can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since i moved… i miss it lots in some ways, but i also know it was the right thing to do to move when i did. i love to reminisce about my days in the big apple because sometimes i take for granted just how incredible that experience was. i feel i don’t always appreciate myself or the experience enough… not to mention, all the awesome images i captured while there!
this collection is a special one. when i look through it, i can very easily be whisked away to this very enchanting night. the ambiance, the dinner that was prepared for me, the dessert, too!, the sky, the brisk air, the moonrise, the way i felt… so vividly i remember it. the very last foto in this blog encompasses the whole evening. but please be patient and scroll through all of them first 😉
thanks for sharing this with me…
i always loved the fire escapes in the city… Continue reading
the sky in colorado is seriously off the hook! and during this time, for about the next 6 months, it intensifies! it happens every year and there is some scientific reason as to why, but all i know is – every day for 4 months before i began this blog in april – i got up every morning and photographed the sunrise from my bedroom window. the only reason i stopped was because the sun moved out of my view and frame, eventually… but somehow it’s back again, so i may try something new this time – especially since i work nights and i ain’t gettin’ up at no 6 a.m. to snap a photo, sorry. 😉
have a great weekend, ya’ll!
