A little over a year ago I bought a Canon Ae-1 and last week I found the first roll of film I shot on it and finally had it processed (Its been a crazy year ok, in the middle of being pregnant, giving birth and raising a baby I sort of misplaced a lot of things).  But honestly, this highlighted for me why I love film so much and why I have been missing it for the instant-gratification

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Berlin?  Taking a walk at sunrise in Autumn and its like falling in love with this city all over again.

Can I start by stating the obvious?  Its really been a long time since I posted on this blog. I have been carefully considering whether or not I even wanted to keep it, whether or not it fits into my 'new life'.   So much has changed for me in the past year, not the least of which is that I am a mom to this very adorable little boy. See what I mean?  Adorable.  He also happens to be the

I've been scrambling to keep up with everything lately, feeling slightly short of energy.  One of those things being neglected is this poor 'ol blog.  But today, I am super excited  to share with you whats new in my Etsy store:  Canvas!  I have wanted to sell Canvas Gallery Wraps on my store since I opened it -  I have several hanging in my house and I think they are just a great looking way

Its a beautiful day in Berlin with clear blue skies and a cool breeze.  I am 14 weeks pregnant today, and despite the stress planning for a new addition can bring - I am feeling excited optimistic.  Things are just good when the sun is shining, right?

A week or so ago I got to go watch Berlin's Gay Pride Parade.  The city has a long and interesting history regarding the acceptance and treatment of GLBT people (I encourage to read about 1920s Berlin and its Cabaret culture, and the subsequent well-known persecution of Gays under Hitler) - but  it certainly is open and accepting now (one of the many many reasons I love Berlin!).  The cities

That picture above illustrates reason no. 357 why I love Berlin - my terrace.  I have never had an outdoor space anywhere I have lived and I can't possibly describe how happy it makes me. A week ago it was like 10 degrees Celcius (50 F) and it was grey as can be - then like one day later we woke up and the sun was shining, it was 27 degrees (80 F) and it was like summer suddenly and

So whenever people ask the question "what camera (or lens or tripod or whatever) do you use?" I always wonder why anyone would care what I use?  But then I realized, as I am studying and looking at other peoples work - I am constantly wanting to know what they shot it with, what lens, what was their lighting set up etc etc.  So yeah, duh, people like to know what others use - even me.    And some

People are always asking me what kind of camera I use - for travel, for food, etc.  Its kinda crazy to me - back in the day no one had any clue what an SLR even was and now they are buying the nicest one on the market to take on their next vacation.   I love that people are passionate about Photography, but I don't love the assumption that the equipment determines the quality of the output.  I am

I love breakfast. It has absolutely become my favorite part of the day. I blogged about my discovery of "the most important meal of the day" on my food blog - and I am not exaggerating when I say discovering breakfast has changed my life.But lately, breakfast time is more than just a meal - its my inspiration.

The happiness that little tiny sprout brings me is hard to explain. I have never, until this spring, attempted to grow anything in my entire life. I have never even had a houseplant. But that little bit of green right there is (hopefully) going to bring me lots of happy little jalapeños this summer. I have always wanted to have a garden, but have always had something keeping me from it. I

This year I am starting my very first garden, to which I hope to start a compost bin for soon. I am making a better effort at recycling so that we no longer throw any plastics away.I am making a pledge to buy more of our goods used or handmade, when possible.

I haven't listed new items in quite awhile on Etsy. I have endless projects that I am constantly working on but it seems like I fall into these lulls in creativity and am constantly having to jump through hoops to get myself out of. I get frustrated to the point where I don't even want to touch my camera anymore. Which is a long way of saying I haven't done anything I have loved in quite some

For almost a year now, I have been preoccupied with Provence. I have been obsessed with the food and flavors of the region - fresh goat cheese & olives, roasted lamb, scallops, sardines, fresh herbs, Rosé, and of course truffles. I feel like this past year I have been discovering what so many foodies already have - that Provence might just be heaven on earth.Even though we live (relatively)

So, I have been seriously neglecting this blog lately. In large part, its because I have been spending an enormous amount of time on Etsy - and not tending to my own shop - but instead rooting around finding all kinds of things I decide I really really must have. I have at least 200 hundred necklaces favorited and I can't decide which one to buy first because I want them all. I have become

The past few months seem like they have gone by in about 1 nanosecond. I left for a long trip to the United States on December 15 (my first trip home in the year and half I have lived in Germany) and got sick pretty much the day I was supposed to come home. After long flights and a long recovery from a nasty virus and lots and lots of snow in Berlin, I am finally coming up for air.Before I got

This is the reason I haven't posted in awhile...because I was away in a breathtakingly beautiful city. Istanbul is full of friendly people, pretty light, great sites and Turkish Delight (which I could not get enough of). I loved it! I hope someday I can go visit more of Turkey.More pictures here if you are interested.

Here are a few shots from the official Mauerfall celebration. It was a huge circus with tons of people, most of which weren't speaking German. It was also terrible terrible weather. I got these few shots before it really started pouring and we decided to spend the rest of the evening sitting comfortably inside a restuarant that was overlooking the dominoes. There were lots of speeches, lots

I thought this was an especially interesting video of that night 20 years ago. Hard to believe I was 9 and living in a small town in Oklahoma and now I call this amazing city home and those crazy East Berliners my friends. My camera and I are leaving now to go photograph all the celebrations around the city today. I just wish it was better weather! Look for photos and such soon :)

Someday I will visit Napa Valley, California, Bordeaux, France and Tuscany, Italy. I would at least like to visit the Mosel wine regions here in Germany. I love the way vineyards look in the Autumn, the combination of colors is just gorgeous - the browns from the vines, the greens, yellows and reds from the leaves and the deep purple and blue hues from the grapes.These Merlot Grapes were

Last week I got to go explore an abandoned Amusement Park. It was a place I had been dying to get into ever since I moved to Berlin, and wish I could go back to many times (unfortunately you have to pay the security guards to get in). It was awesome to explore, but also a bit sad. Like a quickly abandoned childhood, overgrown with the dust and weeds of adult troubles. The whole place just

I love this time of year. Once I get over the loss of summer I love Autumn wholeheartedly. There are so many good things to eat, such beautiful colors on the trees, cool crisp autumn air....oh wait, except in Berlin we skipped that part and went straight to freezing bitter cold winter air. Its the coldest October ever on record here. Lets hope that is not a trend that stays with us during

A few weeks ago my camera and I got to get away for a few days and go explore Paris. I was there for almost 3 days and couldn't seem to pry myself away from the Eiffel Tower. I loved photographing it from almost every angle at every time of day.I was loving all the adorable carousels as well...they seem to be everywhere and are so colorful and play this adorable french children's music.

I have been cleaning up my hard drive the past few days and found a few old shots I thought I would share. I love finding old stuff I forgot I had. Does that ever happen to you?

I have never lived in a big city like Berlin before, and I was starting to feel swallowed up by the concrete. Now I have some space to be outside up above it all and every evening I just have to stop and watch.The sky at sunset is an amazing thing.

Rome is such a beautifully photogenic place...full of bright colored buildings with shuttered windows and flower boxes, winding cobblestone streets, lively Plazas with stunning fountains, and architecture, art, and ancient ruins everywhere you look. The city feels more alive then anywhere I think I have ever visited.I could have spent the entire time photographing the Tiber river that runs

It has been hard finding time to write about my fantastic trip to Rome because I have been in the middle of a move. And it hasn't been an easy one. You would think, having moved exactly 8 times in my 8 years of marriage (and double that in my life in general) that I would be an expert. But I have decided that only thing you can really ever know about moving is that things will go wrong,

Hello friends - I am in the process of moving across town to an amazing new flat. I can't wait to show you pictures (its a beautiful sunny place that is just asking to have the second floor turned into a studio). Then later this week I am off to Rome and then will have family in town visiting. I love summer!!Naturally, I won't be around here for awhile but there will be lots and lots of

Its been one year since I left the United States to start a life in Berlin. It has been a year full of surprises, challenges and adventure. Some days all I wanted to do was go back home, get a 44 oz Diet Dr. Pepper filled with ice, cruise the aisles of Target and be able to freely communicate with everyone around me. For the most part though, I found myself falling deeper and deeper in love

I am so in love with the city lately. Maybe its all the sunshine mixed with thunderstorms, I don't know. But lately, I have been enjoying beautiful Berlin more than I have in months. In the past few weeks I have gone to Wannsee and taken a boat ride, explored an abandoned hospital, taken my dog on a picnic to the park, visited KaDaWe and discovered there is a place to get Diet Dr. Pepper in

I love celebrating my life. I LOVE my life. I love being alive and I cherish it for the rare and fleeting thing that it is. I love thinking about all the crazy things I have experienced, all the amazing people I have met (and loved) along the way, all the mistakes I have made and the things I have accomplished.

Wow. May Day in Berlin is CRAZY! I mean, everyone warned us its a little nuts, but really it exceeded my expectations. The night before is a huge holiday in Germany as well - Walpurgisnacht. Boxhaganer Platz, just a few blocks from our house, was the sight of some of the major protests/parties here in Berlin and it got pretty crazy. At one point we counted 9 huge Police Vans go down the

We all remember when Jenny found Tommy on Christmas morning, a tiny little adorable puppy. He would scratch your feet when you walked in the room until you picked him up and said hello. He would stand by the pantry and ask for treats and loved to chew on bones. Tommy will be missed by everyone, but especially his brother Chucky and his master Jenny.Rest in Peace sweet Puppy - you were our

Whew! I have finally made it through my nearly one-thousand images from the trip! Following are the highlights, if you'd like to see the whole set go HERE.

So, while my trip to Egypt was amazing, for the most part the food there wasn't - which surprised me. There was one exception though - Kosheri. I had never heard of this wonderful little dish, but it is practically the national dish of Egypt. Our tour guide said the place to go for the best Kosheri in Cairo is Abou Tarek - and while I didn't really get to compare it to anywhere else, I can't

Pinch me, because I still can't believe I was just in Egypt. It was everything I imagined and so much more. I learned a lot, took 18 GB of photos, and visited places I never imagined I would. And I got a nice tan, just to top it all off.If you find yourself planning a vacation, do yourself a favor and look into visiting Egypt. You will visit ancient civilizations, stand in awe of those who

I am like ridiculously excited right now though, like omg-do-I-really-get-to-go? excited - because I am going to the Bob Dylan concert tomorrow. Hello, Bob Dylan!!

The weather is changing around here and everyone can tell spring is just about here. The other night, there was a beautiful sunset and around twilight it was a perfect blue sky. I was in heaven. The second photo is of the famed TV tower, a landmark of east Berlin. (PS - the title means "Good Evening" in German)

Hi. You may have noticed I haven't been around in awhile. Well, I have been. I just haven't posted anything. This is mostly due to the fact that I could not edit any of my photos from my new 50d. See, I like to shoot in RAW, and the new Canons all are using .cr2 files - something my version of Photoshop (CS2) does and will not read. So, oh darn, I had to update to CS4 Extended version. I

You know, people saying this to me always seemed especially funny since my camera was really nothing special. I have been, until now, using a Canon 10D (well...for digital photos anyway). This is an old camera and Canon has figured out a lot since making this little gem. I only had 5 ISO options (100-200-400-800-1600) and the noise above 400 was so awful it made it completely worthless. It is

Saturday night I got to see Rise Against for the second time. They put on a great show - they are pretty intense and really paced out their set so that the crowd didn't die of exhaustion. Pictures were a little tricky seeing as the entire room was one giant mosh pit, so there is just the one.I did not like the venue very much at all. It was just a little too big, the acoustics were not good at

I finally went to the Jewish Museum here in Berlin. Its an excellent museum. I was surprised by the intense security - guards out front and everything you bring in has to go through the xray.Daniel Libeskind is the architect and the building itself is one of the most interesting parts of the museum. It is a collection of weird angles - including the floor itself that is quite unsettling. Light

On Sunday night I got to go see one of my favorite bands live (this was our second time, we last saw them in Arizona about 4 years ago). Not just live, but at one of the best venues I have been to - The Lido in Kreuzberg. Conveniently, its just block away from me and Cory's work. Not that it mattered on a Sunday night, but anyway...the show was completely amazing. So much energy, such good

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly......one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws......law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously

It snowed, which was fun. Then it snowed some more. Then it got cold. And colder. And even colder. Tonight, its supposed to get down to something like minus five degrees Farenheit! I don't know if I have ever in my life been in temperatures that cold. No seriously.I guess we are having the same weather as SIBERIA.

I love this city. We woke up on the new year with the ground covered in snow. The next day, everything was white, the sun was shining and it was just beautiful. I have watched this lady play on this bridge so many times but with all the snow the other day it just looked so iconic. One of my favorite things about the city is all the accordion players you hear on the streets.

It was like 27 degrees (80s), not a cloud in the sky with all the delicious arabic food I could eat (mmm Schwarma...).

That is the year my dad graduated from HS. I have always been kind of jealous. Hunter S. Thompson summed up that time in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas:"We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark -

This weekend me and Cory rented a car and decided to go explore the mountains (Alps) and forests in southern Germany. I am still editing my pictures so here is just a preview. This was the view from the balcony in our little hotel this morning before we left to drive back to Berlin. Doesn't it seem like something out of a fairy tale? This area was the most peaceful, quaint and clean place I

Today, I got a little confused when I noticed the entire studio (that would be 60 plus geeks) gathered around a computer talking excitedly. They ran and got their friends. They instant messaged furiously. I think I even saw one of them crying a little bit.What could get everyone so excited I wondered?And then I realized the full level of my geek-ness. Its even directed by JJ Abrams!

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let’s resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.Let’s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and

Dresden was a peaceful and picturesque town on February 13, 1945. The city was full of refugees fleeing the Russian army, serving as hospital to the civilian wounded. It is estimated nearly a million people were in the city that day. The city was of no military importance - the only industry in the city was making China and the war was at it's end.That night, after a day of religious

It wasn't the first concentration camp, but it became a model for all others. Close to Berlin, it housed political dissidents, prisoners of war, homosexuals, Jews, Roma and Sinti and anyone else that Hitler declared an 'other'. Just outside of the prison walls was the main SS training complex. A building stood near by that housed the headquarters of all of the Nazi prison camps. From this

Well, at least when there's only 5 weeks until elections, anyway. I had a post all ready about the current crisis (Ack! Panic! Its like Y2K, bird flu, and killer bees all at once!) and what a bad idea the bailout was.

They might be at the Metallica concert. I know I was this weekend.Ok, so, NO, I am not a metal fan. At all. But the other day at work, everyone started to get really excited because for some reason the Metallica tickets were only 10 Euros. And, they were playing at the newly-built arena just across the Spree river from the Studio. In fact, this was to be the arena's inaugural event. 10

Today I took a walk through the oldest public park in Berlin, Volkspark Friedrichshain. It was beautiful. As you can see below, I really bonded with the woodland creatures too. I don't know what it is, I have always had a thing with squirrels. I think these red squirrels with their bushy tails are so much cuter than the grey squirrels we used to see in Texas and Oklahoma.

Yesterday we went to Schloss Charlottenburg, a 19th century Palace with a huge sprawling park and gardens behind it. It was an amazingly gorgeous day so we skipped out on walking around the inside and just explored the gardens. It was an absolutely equisite day - like 78 degrees, not a cloud in site. The perfect day to sit in the grass and relax...

In my exploration I have been perusing lots of blogs and websites and flickr photostreams of amazing photographer/designers, who coincidently all happen to be from the Pacific Northwest I just left behind.
