Meows from the Past

August 20, 2011 / Caturday

Yesterday I posted some of my first prints from college in response to World Photography Day, but made sure to hold off on the kitty shots until today. All photos shot between 2006 and 2008. Some of these are scanned from p [...]

Happy World Photography Day!

August 19, 2011 / Film

Today is World Photography Day, a day created in honor of the invention of the Daguerreotype. Earlier this week Vanessa posted photos from her first roll of film from a 35mm SLR, and Kristina posted some of her family photos [...]

Humboldt Breakfast

January 10, 2011 / Film

Despite being born and raised a carnivore, I went vegetarian in my late teens and then was full-fledged vegan for a while in college. This photo is of whole wheat toast, but every time I look at it I think of the breakfast [...]

Blast from the Past: Sweet Pierre

January 8, 2011 / Caturday

Pierre was my cat throughout high school; one of the best pets I've ever had. My mother lives in a townhouse and my bedroom window had an awning which Pierre would use as his own personal front porch. I eventually had to [...]

Bokeholic

December 23, 2010 / Film

Ever since I started toying around with faux tilt-shift effects in my photography I've been getting some questions about how I'm achieving the look. Sadly, I don't own a tilt-shift lens. They're way too expensive for wh [...]

The Tree House

September 20, 2010 / Film

The second half of our time at Humboldt State was spent living in "the Tree House," the self-appointed name for my friend's giant house on the highest hill in Arcata. We lived there with her, two other gals an [...]

PDX to RDD

June 8, 2010 / Friends & Family

Tomorrow afternoon I'm hopping on a train and riding down to California to shoot a wedding, attend a baby shower, and visit with friends and family during the downtime. I'm beyond excited. Unfortunately, this will be a 12- [...]

Memory Lane

May 20, 2010 / Film

Last week I finally bit the bullet and ordered a negative scanner. I didn't get anything too fancy-- just an Epson V500-- but it's a purchase I'd been putting off for years. It arrived earlier this afternoon and I've been t [...]

The Tourist

February 28, 2010 / Film

One semester in college my entire photography class had to prepare individual slideshows with backing music, to be presented to the open public. The process was actually pretty grueling, too. We had to first create a story [...]

Ode to Humboldt

September 21, 2009 / From the Archives

These photos are from a drive down CA HWY 299 in January '08 and December '07. Granted, a lot of these are in Trinity County... But who's counting? The happy green one is fr [...]

Happy Fatherâ€™s Day

June 21, 2009 / Friends & Family

Happy Father's Day to all the papas out there! This is a photo of my dad and brothers when I was just a twinkle in my mom's eyes. It's one of my favorite shots from our family album.

Your Mom

May 10, 2009 / Friends & Family

Happy Mother's Day to all the awesome mommas out there! If you haven't called, emailed or otherwise told your mom you love her today, you'd better! Unfortunately, I only get to spend the day with my mother-in-law, but she [...]
