42

Week 42. 

It was a very sad day in our community on this particular Monday. I felt the need to hide in the shadows and hope for peace...

I am. I am a photographer, I am an artist. It's taken a long time to actually say and THINK those things out-loud... but I am, I am, I am - sat nam.

Reading in bed, I usually fall asleep before I get very far...

Navigating the corn maze at a local pumpkin patch. I chaperoned O's field trip and had fun meeting some of the kids in his class and their parents. 

Downtown for an event, it was incredibly busy that night with UNR's homecoming parade and I wound up on the top floor of the parking garage. The view is pretty cool up there and I need to go back.

A Halloween costume, is it bad if I want to wear this thing around all the time??? It's comfy.

Hiding a little bit...

July's Five on Five

Five favorite images from the month of July that I haven't shared yet. I had an amazing July, it included my first art show, and lots and lots of creatives in Midtown Reno to meet and talk with.

Ready?

Beach play

It looks foggy, but it was warm and the kids were having a great time jumping the waves and getting sandy.

Sketching

I was asked to photograph, Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School. It was a blast.

O., looking like a teenager.

A Day In The Life

On Thursday (7-11) I participated in a photo challenge called, "A Day In The Life". The idea is to capture moments throughout the day, I chose once or twice an hour. I generally shoot all day long, but setting myself on a small schedule was a good reminder on just how quickly my day passes and yet, it slowed me down to see the beauty in each hour. Thank you to Francesesca for the inspiration and encouragement to do this challenge.

5 on 5

This is an exciting new project I am embarking on with some amazing women. We will be posting Five of our favorite photos from the previous month on the fifth day of the month. We each might have a little description about the image and the moment, maybe a lot, maybe nothing but the images themselves. We will then pass our lovely readers (that you!) on to the next person on our list.

sounds like fun? Okay good!

Here we go....

Donner Lake, my happy place.Shot with my ihpone 5, edited with the mextures app

Kristina's Yashica. I got to meet up with her while she was visiting Truckee and we had such a wonderful time talking 'shop' and playing with all the cameras we were lugging around.Shot with my Canon 30D with the 28mm 1.8 lens

Twinkle Lights. Taken at the Steep Ravine Cabins while camping with a college roommate and her two kids. What an amazing place! Shot with my Canon 30D with the 50mm 1.4 lens

Runners on the Road. Taken around 2:30am during the Reno Tahoe Odyssey endurance race. This was an amazing experience and I am so proud of Andy and I for training and completing the challenge with our awesome team. Shot with my ihpone 5

Somewhere is here. This was hands down one of the biggest rainbows I have ever seen. And it was right out our backyard. Shot with my iphone 5, edited with vsco app.

I did shoot film last month, but I was unfortunetly not able to get to the camera store to pick it up before this post had to be written.

Head on over to Adriana's blog and see what she has to share with all of you today...

Week 25

Jumping for the sun.

Sitting in the front yard to watching the kids make neighborhood friends.

Multitasking between big and little screens collaborating and making last minute edits to my post for Reno Moms Blog.

Testing the 28mm and lights.

Family jumping in the clover.

Into the light of summer.

Early morning, watching the clouds roll over Mount Rose, making coffee and listening to the quiet beginning of the week.
