little moments

he's getting big. it blows me away that he came from me... 

I love watching him play and explore.

Team work at the Smile shop.
I am glad he wants to be a dentist when he grows up, because she was scared to get up in that big old chair alone...

silly. silly. silly

she is here to make us laugh. truly.

She is also a move and a shaker.

Swim lesson every Wednesday.
Followed by beautiful nap times.

yoga and post yoga coffee dates with my old coworkers-
who came to my class and made me feel pretty stinking supported on this journey.

blue skies and open windows

clumsy mornings where I spill the beans, literally.

A lap and a heart that is full.

Film Friday

Inspired by the talent over at Mortal Muses earlier this week, I decided to take myself out and about on the town. I put the Minolta (35mm slr), the Yashica (120 tlr), the Polaroid (pull apart film) and the Canon (dslr) into the back pack. 

I made sure I had film in all of them and the flash card was empty, batteries were charged, that I have the gorilla pod and the remote, just in case I felt like doing a self portrait, and off I went.

Here is My One Hour Story.....

I took myself on a little walk in the fantastic and evolving  Midtown District of Reno.

Seriously, there is so many little hidden gems in this area right now it's fantastic.

I found some really great alley way graffiti

And tucked away coffee shops and of course, tattoo parlors galore.

So many amazingly good eateries and micro-brews to enjoy.

 I love seeing my city grow and evolve.

And now, I want to move into the hood and feel like an urban-ite in the biggest little city that I call home.

colorful winter

Winter color

cupcakes

candles

Flutters in the breeze.

Maybe I should have saved this post for next Thursday?!

people watching

over the weekend

Over the weekend we took pictures.

Fluttered in the wind

ran in the fog.

explored at the Discovery Museum

went shoe shopping

Giggled.

Made brownies while singing "where is thumb man..."

played with color

ignored the sorting and noticed the light

Found more color

and opted for naps and snuggles when the house was quite and still.

Sometimes

Often, I am stopped dead in my tracks by how beautiful the world,
the light
and the moments can be.

 I wonder, am I the only one who sees this? 

I can't be.

Please tell me, I'm not the only one.

happy ending...

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.

11-4-22: Hello there adorable.

 

I am thankful for photography. 

For the creative outlet it gives me, for the way it helps me slow down and really see the world around me. For the connections I have made with so many others thru this passion.Never did I think that I would have people I feel connected to spread across the country, and in other countries for that matter.

photography has opened the world to me in so many ways. 

For that, I am full of gratitude.

a few instances...

or should I say, instant shots from the iphone?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think maybe make my 2013 project to shoot with the phone everyday.
easy-peasy.
